North Vietnam Wellness Tour 6 Days: The Path of Stillness

A private welcome and assisted hotel check-in create a soft landing in Hanoi. During a short arrival briefing, your guide will introduce the journey and help you choose the Gentle, Balanced or Immersive rhythm that best suits how you want to travel.

Arrival Relaxation Massage  |  Approximately 60 minutes

Ease into the journey with a gentle full-body relaxation massage at the hotel or a carefully selected nearby spa. The treatment is designed to release travel fatigue and help you settle into a slower rhythm; pressure preferences are discussed before the session, and the experience may be rescheduled or omitted for late arrivals.

Accommodation: At the hotel in Hanoi

Meals: Dinner

After breakfast, leave Hanoi for the private 2.5- to 3-hour drive to Yen Tu, with a comfort stop en route. Arrive around midday for lunch, check in and enjoy time to settle into the mountain surroundings.

Mindful Forest Walk  |  Approximately 60 minutes

Follow a peaceful trail near the foot of Yen Tu, guided by gentle breathing and sensory-awareness cues. A short period of optional silence helps mark the transition from the pace of everyday life to the quieter rhythm of the mountain; the route is adjusted to your comfort.

Vietnamese Tea & the Practice of Pausing  |  Approximately 30 minutes

Enjoy a carefully selected Vietnamese tea in a calm setting, beginning with a few quiet moments before sharing reflections from the walk. No knowledge of tea or meditation is needed - only a willingness to slow down.

Accommodation: At the hotel in Yen Tu 

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Begin the morning gently before breakfast. Today is the cultural heart of the journey, with the route shaped around your preferred pace and the day's weather and access conditions.

Optional Gentle Morning Yoga | Approximately 45-60 minutes

Available at an additional charge, subject to instructor and venue availability.

Ease into the day with accessible stretches, breathing and gentle yoga postures in Yên Tử's peaceful mountain setting. Designed for beginners as well as experienced guests, the private or small-group session may be arranged with a qualified instructor, subject to availability.

Yen Tu Heritage Journey | Approximately 3-4 hours

Travel by cable car and on foot through selected sites within Yen Tu's forested cultural landscape. Your guide brings the setting to life through stories of Truc Lam heritage, architecture and the mountain's enduring place in Vietnamese culture, without turning the experience into a religious lecture or a summit challenge.

Personal Reflection & Journaling | Approximately 30-45 minutes

After a light lunch and protected time to rest, use a simple prompt to reflect on what you would like to leave behind. You may write privately, take a quiet garden walk or choose a pre-booked spa treatment instead; the practice is an invitation, never an obligation.

Mindful Seasonal Dinner | Approximately 60-90 minutes

The first few minutes of dinner are enjoyed without phones, allowing the flavours and atmosphere to take centre stage. Conversation then returns naturally, with no formal silence required for the rest of the meal.

Accommodation: At the hotel in Yen Tu 

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Enjoy an unhurried breakfast and free morning before the private 1.5- to 2-hour drive to Quang Hanh. After check-in and lunch, the early afternoon is kept free for rest.

Guided Mineral-Bathing Journey | Approximately 2 hours

Begin with a short introduction to bathing etiquette, hydration and a comfortable sequence of warm pools, cooling pauses and rest. The experience unfolds in unhurried intervals rather than one continuous soak, followed by quiet recovery with water or herbal tea.

Accommodation: At the hotel at Quang Hanh Onsen 

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

With no intercity travel today, the program leaves generous space for physical rest. Begin the morning with optional stretching or a short nature walk, followed by breakfast at leisure.

Restorative Mineral-Wellness Morning| Approximately 90-120 minutes

Return to the mineral baths during a quieter period where possible and explore the facilities at your own pace. After lunch, the afternoon remains intentionally open for sleep, reading or a pre-booked massage or body treatment.

Afternoon Tea & a Screen-Light Evening| Approximately 30 minutes

A short tea ritual invites you to notice which parts of the slower rhythm feel realistic to carry home. 

Dinner on your own.

The evening remains free and gently screen-light, without a compulsory group program.

Accommodation: At the hotel at Quang Hanh Onsen 

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Begin the morning with a final quiet practice, followed by breakfast and time for a last soak when opening hours and your onward schedule allow.

Carry-Home Ritual Session| Approximately 30-45 minutes

With your guide, shape one small and realistic ritual for the next 21 days - perhaps mindful tea, five minutes of breathing, a weekly walk or a screen-free evening. You will receive a Take-Home Ritual Kit with Vietnamese herbal tea, a compact journal, a guided breathing card and your personalised habit card.

After the session, depart for the private 3- to 3.5-hour return to Hanoi, with a comfort stop en route. Drop-off is arranged at your hotel, the airport or another agreed location; a late flight or an additional Hanoi night is recommended for the most relaxed ending.

Accommodation: None (the room is available until noon, surcharge for late check-out is not included)

Meals: Breakfast
