This is one of the most “peak” expeditions in the Umove Adventure Extreme series. This expedition in the wild and majestic land of the West Nghe An will take us through the forest, across the river to reach Co Phat village of the Dan Lai ethnic group. After 1 night camping by the river, we will paddle SUP to conquer more than 20 wild rapids of the most beautiful Giang River flowing in the territory of Pu Mat National Park. This is not an ordinary exploration trip, this is not a light stroll. This is an adventure trip and a true challenge to your limits. However, the reward for your participation is wonderful and priceless.
