After relaxing, you spend the afternoon cycling through lush rice paddies and limestone mountains on a guided tour. This time will bring you a chance to explore the humble local culture of the nearby villages. You visit a traditional brocade weaving workshop and learn about textile production in Mai Chau. Take this opportunity to attend a training lesson of dyeing natural fabrics with the workers at the textile factory. A fresh and cool steam is a reward after an afternoon of bicycling.
Then you will ride back to the homestay for a rest and enjoy your BBQ night at the front yard of the homestay.

HOMESTAY AND TREK

Learn about the traditional handicraft of “dó” paper making of the H’mong ethnic group in Pa Co. This kind of paper plays a special role in the religious life of H'mong people. They use dó paper in the events of funeral and worship rites.

Enjoy your lunch at a local homestay in Hang Kia. Continue your trek from Pa Khom to Thung Mai. This is one of few villages that still retain many of the old features of the H'mong people. You will be picked up again by your easyriders and brought back to the homestay.
Dinner is served, and you can have a few beers with your new friends and maybe some rice wine shots with the locals.
