点评:Wonderful experience that we will always remember and the highlight of our holiday. We originally booked a 2 day trek with home stay but we were unlucky with the weather and conditions, so changed to 2 x 1 day treks with guides from different tribes (our choice, the hosts were very flexible).
We booked originally from home via email and Hoa was very helpful and responsive despite me having lots of questions.
Both days we trekked through the rice terraces and bamboo forests to the tribal villages where we were welcomed into local homes and made lunch using home grown ingredients. The guides were both excellent, they showed us plants along the route and how they are used in cooking and for medicinal purposes. They were keen to show us their way of life. They were also very patient as the terrain was hard in places, and they helped us with the walking - very impressive as they were in wellies!
Ethos the company is run by Hoa and Phil, besides the excursions their purpose is to help the tribes and help to educate them to help improve their standard of living. In particular there is an issue with young women being trafficked from the villages, through education and awareness they have reduced this by 75%.
If you want to do a trek or other excursion I highly recommend using this company.

我们最初是通过电子邮件在家预订的,尽管我有很多问题,但Hoa非常乐于助人,回复也很及时。
两天我们都徒步穿越梯田和竹林,到达了部落村落,在那里我们受到了当地居民的热情接待,并用自家种植的食材做了午餐。两位导游都非常棒,他们向我们展示了沿途的植物,并向我们介绍了它们在烹饪和药用方面的用途。他们非常乐于向我们展示他们的生活方式。由于有些地方地形崎岖,他们也非常耐心,并帮助我们行走——他们穿着雨靴,这让我们印象深刻!
该公司由Hoa和Phil经营,除了提供短途旅行外,他们的宗旨还包括帮助部落居民,并帮助他们接受教育,从而提高他们的生活水平。特别是针对年轻女性被从村庄贩卖出去的问题,通过教育和宣传,他们已将这一问题减少了75%。
如果您想徒步旅行或其他短途旅行,我强烈推荐这家公司。
