Colorful experience among mountains and rice field
My first suggestion - go with a private tour guide . This will ensure you enough time to go slow and enjoy the terrain without feeling rushed . There are steep walk downhil and uphill involved however it is doable for all ages if you go SLOW . Hence this is where a good tour guide comes in place . I took a tour with “ local mint travel “ group ( WhatsApp +84 94 925 96 75 ) who then connect with local guides . I did the mistake of going with a group tour which was my fault as I did have an option to go private tour too - kicking myself for it . However my tour guide was equally wonderful and had the patience to keep up with my slow pace . I can recommend my tour guide absolutely however I think all local guides are equally wonderful and patient . This is a beautiful place and the experience to reach cat cat village is a wonderful experience on its own . You walk downhill to the village then through meandering narrow path of steps lined with shops on either side - so magical . There are outlooks overlooking the rice paddies and that’s like from a fairy tale , then you enter the village which is filled with colorful people who rented the local costumes - so ethereal and beautiful. This is not a place to be missed
