Tucked away in the lush green hills of Cao Bang Province, just a few kilometers from the spectacular Ban Gioc Waterfall, lies Khuoi Ky Stone Village—a peaceful ethnic community known for its unique stone houses and warm hospitality. If you're looking for a truly local and immersive experience, staying in a Khuoi Ky stone village homestay is a cultural gem you shouldn’t miss.
In this guide, we’ll explore why Khuoi Ky is a must-visit destination, what to expect from the homestay experience, nearby attractions, and how to combine your trip with a scenic cycling tour via Golden Cycling Tours.
Unlike other villages in Vietnam, Khuoi Ky is known for its century-old stone houses, built by the Tay ethnic group using traditional techniques. Every home is made of smooth grey stones, with stone fences, stone walls, and even stone paths running through the village.
The village has been preserved beautifully, offering visitors a unique opportunity to step back in time and witness rural life unchanged by modern tourism.
Khuoi Ky is home to Tay families who live in harmony with nature and tradition. Staying in a homestay here allows you to:
Sleep in traditional stone houses with wooden interiors
Share meals prepared from locally sourced ingredients
Learn about Tay customs, weaving, and ancestral rituals
Join in daily life—harvesting vegetables, feeding animals, or simply chatting by the fire
It’s not just a place to stay—it’s a place to connect.
Surrounded by limestone mountains and bamboo groves, the village is a tranquil retreat from the chaos of city life. Wake up to birdsong, mist over the rice paddies, and fresh mountain air.
Only 2 km from Ban Gioc Waterfall, Khuoi Ky is a great base to explore the surrounding highlights like:
Nguom Ngao Cave
Quay Son River
Trung Khanh ethnic markets
Border belt cycling routes
You can explore the area by foot, bike, or guided tour through Golden Cycling Tours.
Choosing a homestay means your money goes directly to local families. It helps preserve the village’s cultural identity and supports sustainable tourism in the region.
From Hanoi: ~8–9 hours by car or sleeper bus to Cao Bang City, then 2–3 hours by local bus or private transfer
From Cao Bang City: ~85 km northeast along QL3 and DT206 roads
