Authentic Hanoi Countryside: Manh Farm & Cooking Class Full Day

Duration: 6 – 6.5 hours

Morning

Your day begins with a visit to a traditional countryside market, a lively hub where locals gather to trade fresh produce, meats, and daily essentials. This is a perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in authentic village life and experience the vibrant colors, sounds, and aromas of the marketplace.

After the market, continue to nearby vegetable fields where farmers cultivate a variety of crops such as corn, cabbage, tomatoes, and green peas. Strolling through the fields gives you a closer look at traditional farming techniques and seasonal produce.

Next, you will be welcomed into a local family’s home for a hands-on cooking class. Learn how to prepare four authentic Vietnamese dishes using fresh ingredients from the farm. Once the cooking is complete, sit down to enjoy the delicious meal, accompanied by seasonal fruit and refreshing local drinks.

Afternoon

In the afternoon, set off on a scenic 1.5-hour cycling trip to a neighboring village. Ride along peaceful rural paths until you reach vast rice fields, which are at their most beautiful from late February to October. Take in the lush landscapes, enjoy fresh fruit and drinks, and capture the serene beauty of the Vietnamese countryside before returning.
