Great experience. Loved our guides who were charismatic, knowledgeable and accomodating of all the groups’ needs. The walk down to the rice fields and into the villages of the local people was incredibly beautiful. I highly recommend. The accomodation was also very comfortable with great food.

I was a little worried in the beginning because I had never done an organized trip like this, but it turned out really good. All the people implicated are truly sincronized. The best thing of the trip was our guide Chang, she is a true professional and did an awesome job, we really enjoyed her explanations and company.

Overall a great trip! The night train is certainly an experience, but don't necessarily expect to get a lot of sleep on the train. The organization of the trip worked out well. The hotel was nice and the view of the rice fields was fantastic. The guide was enthusiastic, attentive and spoke good English. The trekking is quite challenging in the humidity and the heat. At the beginning of the trek we were joined by some local women. There is apparently a sort of informal arrangement that they watch out over the group. In return they sell bags at the end of the walk. This made it all feel a bit ingenuine. The walk to cat cat village was easy. The village is however quite commercialised. It feels like a theme park. We therefore liked the long trek better. Overall I would recommend the trip for the stunning landscapes and the hiking along paths that other groups don't seem to take.
