We warmly invite you to embark on the “48-Hour Team Building Adventure in Western Nghe An”.
Day 1: Arrival at Vinh Airport – Ban Le Hamlet
Morning: Upon arrival at Vinh Airport, guests will be transferred to Anh Son Town, where the adventure begins. Prepare for an exhilarating 25-kilometer cycling journey through towering hills, quaint villages, lush tea plantations, and sparkling streams, offering an unforgettable experience amidst majestic nature. The initial leg of the ride will challenge you with steep ascents that demand endurance and patience. Each pedal stroke becomes a test as you feel your legs stretch, your breath quicken, and your heart race with every incline. Yet, reaching the summit rewards you with breathtaking views of distant villages and rolling green tea hills that unfold before you.
As you cycle through the tea fields, the crisp air filled with the fragrance of fresh tea leaves invigorates your senses. A gentle breeze caresses your face, enhancing the feeling of tranquility and relaxation. The harmonious sounds of chirping birds blend with the rustling leaves beneath your wheels, creating a symphony of nature. The next stretch of the journey takes you through peaceful hamlets, where you can glimpse traditional stilt houses and see local residents greeting you with warm smiles from afar.
Cycling past cool streams, the crystalline waters babble joyfully, and you can feel the refreshing splashes as droplets dance on your feet and wheels while rolling over smooth pebbles. The challenges posed by steep slopes, rugged paths, and shallow streams foster a sense of achievement, allowing you to immerse yourself in the untouched beauty of the wilderness and the simple lives of the mountain dwellers. Exotic Vietnam has organized several rest stops along the route, incorporating team-building activities and photo opportunities. A rustic lunch awaits at a local restaurant, ready to refuel you for the adventure ahead.
Afternoon: After returning your bicycles, embark on a 10-kilometer trek along the scenic trail beside the Giang River, guiding you into the heart of Pu Mat National Park, where untamed nature seamlessly intertwines with the unique culture of the Dan Lai people. Beneath the majestic canopy of ancient trees, sunlight filters through the leaves, creating stunning patterns of light and shadow on the forest floor. The gentle murmur of the flowing water mingles with the cheerful chirping of birds, composing a serene and soothing symphony.
The winding path leads you through narrow turns, occasionally requiring you to navigate gentle inclines. The breath of the ancient forest, combined with the fresh air, fosters a sense of tranquility that uplifts your spirit. As you approach Ban Le, home to 20 households of the Dan Lai community, you’ll encounter simple yet charming stilt houses constructed from bamboo, nestled harmoniously within the breathtaking landscape. The warm and welcoming Dan Lai people often greet visitors from their porches, offering friendly smiles.
The ambiance here is both peaceful and inviting, beckoning you to explore deeper into their lives and culture. This journey transcends mere travel; it is a heartfelt encounter with nature and humanity, allowing you to truly appreciate the pristine beauty of Pu Mat National Park and the genuine warmth of the Dan Lai community.
Evening: As the sun begins to set, Ban Le transforms into a vibrant tapestry of cultural richness. The locals have prepared everything for a unique BBQ feast, featuring fresh ingredients sourced from the mountains and forests. The tantalizing aroma of grilled meat skewers and fresh stream fish, complemented by crisp vegetables, entices all who gather. Around the glowing fire, the sounds of laughter mingle with the melodies of traditional instruments, creating a joyful and inviting atmosphere.
No evening is complete without the enchanting traditional “xoè dance”. Young Thai women in colorful attire join hands with local men, gracefully spinning in rhythm to the music. The “xoè dance” not only embodies community bonds but also plays an integral role in the cultural life of the Thai people. The elegant movements and harmonious blend of steps and cheerful sounds draw everyone into a shared celebration of joy.
After a day filled with thrilling exploration, you will rest for the night in cozy tents set on lush, natural grass.

In this peaceful and nature-embracing setting, your night in the tent offers a sense of relaxation and tranquility, connecting you with the earth and sky. You’ll awaken the next morning refreshed, full of energy, and with cherished memories of a day well spent.
Day 2: Ban Le Hamlet – Con Cuong Town
Morning: Each team will be assigned to stay in the homes of the Đan Lai people, providing a wonderful opportunity to immerse themselves in the local culture. Team members will make an effort to communicate in the Dan Lai language, which, despite being unfamiliar, will lead to delightful laughter and strengthen the bonds among team members as well as with their host families.
The ingredients for the meal will be supplied by the organizers, including fresh produce and greens harvested from the forest or the hosts’ gardens, ensuring freshness and authentic flavors. Under the guidance of Dan Lai mothers, teams will learn how to prepare traditional dishes, from selecting ingredients to the cooking process. One of the evaluation criteria for each team will be their ability to cook a traditional Dan Lai dish, such as sticky rice or grilled fish in bamboo, along with the region’s characteristic spices.
Once the meal is prepared, there is nothing more delightful than inviting the host family to join in a communal feast, sharing laughter and stories around the dining table.
Afternoon: The journey on rafts conquering the “99 waterfalls” along the 10-kilometer stretch of the Giang River will offer you thrilling experiences and adventures amidst breathtaking nature. These rafts, crafted from lightweight foam and bamboo, are both safe and environmentally friendly, making them an ideal means to explore the refreshing blue waters of the river. Before setting off, everyone will receive safety training, don life jackets, and wear helmets to ensure maximum safety throughout the trip.
As you paddle through the winding river, you’ll navigate each waterfall with sparkling, crystal-clear water splashing around you and challenging bends that keep you on your toes. The exhilarating thrill of your raft gliding over rocky rapids, creating small waves that rise and fall, will leave you captivated by the stunning natural scenery surrounding you. You’ll experience a harmonious blend of the lush green forest and the sound of flowing water, creating a serene yet exhilarating atmosphere.
You can pause to relax and swim in the cool waters on pebbly stretches. The refreshing river water will wash away any stress, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature and appreciate the untamed beauty of the mountains. This is the perfect moment for you and your colleagues to create unforgettable memories, capture joyful moments in photographs, and relish the tranquility that nature provides.
