town, you will check in hotel and enjoy lunch.
After along break for your recovery, the afternoon excursion will take you to
visit Ban Pho Commune of the Flower H’mong and Tay people which is included some
small hamlets scattering on hilly land in a perfect nature setting. Walking
around the village you will encounter the hospitable ethnic people, living in
wooden houses with earthen wall surrounding by lush plump garden… There is a

the Khen.
