Are you ready for an incredible journey through Northern Vietnam? Our photography tour will bring you a vibrant mix of culture and nature, and capture artistic portraits of locals. We will focus on three main components: the dynamic streets of Hanoi, the stunningly beautiful and shaped rice terraces, and the amazing way of life of the villagers of Northern Vietnam.

We begin our adventure in the heart of Old Hanoi, where you will immerse yourself in the pulsating rhythm of the city. We will explore the bustling streets, photograph street vendors balancing their wares on traditional poles, and immerse ourselves in the lively atmosphere of roadside eateries.

From the bustle of the city, we move on to the spectacular landscapes of Mu Cang Chai, a stunning region near the border with China that is a dream for landscape photographers from all over the world. Here you will see some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Vietnam, with dramatic mountains, winding roads and iconic rice terraces that seem to defy gravity as they cascade down steep hillsides. We have timed the tour to coincide with the annual rice harvest to capture the rice terraces at their best. Imagine golden fields stretching to the horizon, highlighted by the colorful traditional clothing of the local farmers working the land.

We will also visit several traditional Vietnamese villages, where locals have been plying their craft for hundreds of years. We will be able to take great portraits, capture incredible textures and immerse ourselves in the lives of farmers centuries ago.
