Overnight in a homestay in Mekong Delta

Though there are homestays all around the country, those located on tranquil islands of the delta, surrounded by acres of orchards, and filled with welcoming smiles plus delicious home-cooked food, are particularly attractive. Journey up the Mekong for a homestay with a lovely local family, and you will learn about how life goes on every day and gain a real appreciation of why this area is known as the ‘rice basket of Vietnam. During the daytime, you can join in cycling with the local children along the village’s paths to get to bustling markets, find some garden-fresh foods for yourself, and bargain with sellers to see how friendly the people here are. When dusk sets in, lying on a hammock, savoring the fresh juice, and seeing the sun go down from the river bank will give you a sense of peace. At night, you can gather with the host’s family, talk to them while enjoying the home-cooked dinner. In general, homestay is a two-way cultural exchange as you can learn the local culture from your host and share yours with them. This is without doubt an unforgettable experience with a local family.
