We had an unforgettable three-day trekking adventure around Dong Van. The journey took us along the breathtaking Ma Pi Leng Pass, with its dramatic cliffs and sweeping views over the Song Nho Que River — truly one of the most stunning landscapes we have ever seen. Along the way, we visited small villages inhabited by the Tay and H’mong communities. The locals were incredibly welcoming, and seeing their traditional stilt houses and daily life added a rich cultural dimension to our trek. Our guide Phan Van Nam was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience both safe and deeply enjoyable.
We did some wonderful hikes with Nam in the Dong Van area. Great scenery and super guide. We owe him a lot for the quality of our experience!
– I joined the tour with a small group of just 4 people. Since it had rained a bit the night before, the trail was slightly slippery. Our guide told us that this trekking route is only feasible when it's dry, as the path becomes too slippery and dangerous after rain. – We first visited a viewpoint called the "Death Rock Ledge." Many tourists try to climb out onto the edge to take a dramatic photo, but I found it quite risky, so I chose not to do it. – After that, we passed through a small village and reached a towering white rock cliff that opened up into a breathtaking valley with a panoramic view of the Mã Pí Lèng Pass and the Nho Quế River. The scenery was absolutely stunning… some of the viewpoints offered incredible photo opportunities. *Highly recommended for those passionate about trekking and exploring untouched natural beauty.
Great hike to Dong Van , departure from Ma Pi Leng Pass with Nam our excellent English speaking guide. We left with 10 adults as a family, the views of the mountain, the white rocks and the Nho river are breathtaking. Very good picnic prepared by our guide and meeting with the young local population. Activity we highly recommend.
Very nice hike, without difficulty at the pass ma py leng. The photos are beautiful. Our guide knows his subject well and taught us a lot. Not to mention a very good picnic prepared by his wife. Ideal with children.
