Hanoi: Le Mat Snake Village Tour,Le Mat Snake Village Tour

Le Mat Snake

Private Tour

Le Mat is located about 10 km east of Hanoi’s city center. You can easily reach it by car or motorbike via Long Bien or Chuong Duong Bridge, heading toward Viet Hung Ward in Long Bien District. This village is a hidden gem for adventurous foodies looking to try something special in Hanoi.

When people think of Vietnamese cuisine, dishes like Pho (beef noodle soup), Nem (spring rolls), or Banh Mi (sandwiches) often come to mind. While these are undoubtedly iconic, Vietnam offers much more, including some bold and unique options—like snake meat. With its distinctive flavor and slightly chewy texture, snake meat promises a new and exciting culinary experience. Skilled chefs in Le Mat will prepare a variety of dishes, including snake spring rolls, stir-fried snake with vegetables, snake soup, snake porridge, deep-fried snake skin, and grilled snake, among others.

For those who consider themselves adventurous eaters, the tour offers an even more daring experience: consuming a fresh, uncooked snake heart, paired with a shot of snake wine—a mix of Vietnamese rice wine and snake blood, stirred with lemongrass for an intense flavor.

The tour lasts approximately three hours. After enjoying the feast, you’ll have the chance to visit the snake farm, where you can learn about how snakes are raised, fed, and trained by local experts. You'll also see some of Vietnam’s largest bottles of King Cobra snake wine.

Le Mat Snake Village offers a truly one-of-a-kind experience for those looking to step out of their culinary comfort zone and explore Vietnam's more extreme side of gastronomy.
