Sapa Trekking Tour – Home Stay

Combine adventure and culture in this 4 days tour. Travel South of Sapa along the inspiring Muong Hoa valley and mountain streams, visiting villages of Hmong, Zay, Dao and Tay ethnic minorities.

This former French resort town is tucked into the mountains near the Chinese and Laotian borders. It’s a good place to encounter some of the many ethnic groups (known as hill tribes) that inhabit the country. The tribes go into Sapa for the weekend market – the textiles, embroidery and other needlecrafts are superb. Or you can use the town as a base for visiting their nearby villages. (Be aware that members of some tribes, including the H’mong, won’t tolerate having their pictures taken.)

The beautiful hills around Sapa are a prime trekking destination. You’ll see waterfalls, caves and lots of birds along the trails. Though paths are generally quite clear, we recommend hiring a local guide who can interpret for you – and fight off the aggressive local dogs.
