Guaranteed to be a special experience! Staying at Bikki Jungle Homestay will allow a window into the lives of the Red Dzao Tribe of the Northern mountains of Vietnam.
Bick and her family welcomed us with hospitality and kindness, showing us their unique way of life including cooking, tasting valuable teas, and swimming in waterfalls. We trekked through the jungle, ate delicious food, and learned some phrases in the specific dialect of Vietnamese.
Thank you Bick for being the wonderful person you are, and ensuring all your guests have a great time! ☺️

I definitely definitely recommend...
Read moreBick was such a lovely and funny person, I loved to spend time with her. Also her family and the volunteers at the homestay were all really kind. I really enjoyed my time there. You eat together with the whole family and can really experience the daily life. If you are interested there are a ton of activities you can do, like hiking, helping out at the rice fields, learning more about the tea, making your own paper etc etc, there is a lot to learn. The place is very remote but you can book the transfer through the accommodation or if you are good driver also go there with your own bike. Just know that there is supermarkets or anything close by, so you might wanna bring some extra snacks :)( but Bick also always provided me with everything I needed). When I was there it rained a lot sadly but we had a lovely time anyway playing cards and...
