Private tailor-made journeys of a life time
The far-north of Vietnam is a region with a pristine tapestry of ethnic culture, spanning an incredible mountain region of green land and humble wooden homes. This 3-day northern Vietnam tour marries wild nature with unique cultures, found across beautiful villages and the vivid rice paddies of Sapa.
On this tour, we spend three days trekking through Sapa’s verdant best, starting and ending in Lao Cai. Along the way, we meet four different ethnic groups and learn of their long-held customs, as well as visiting the elements of Sapa that make it one of Vietnam’s most attractive wildernesses. We stop for the night in two separate villages and savour the tranquility afforded by rural homestays, owned by two welcoming families of the Giay and Tay ethnicities.
A professional guide will lead you through the verdant land ahead, revealing the geology of Sapa and the cultures of its residents. For 3 day 2 night tour in Sapa, you will experience Sapa at all of its best angles.
Activities: Arrive in Sapa and trek through its incredible scenery and two of its famous villages, ending in a third village for dinner and a night at an ethnic Giay homestay.
Arrive in the early morning in Lao Cai after your night train from Hanoi. The guide will collect you here and welcome you to the tour with the transfer to Sapa town and breakfast.
After this, we begin our trekking into the exquisite nature of Sapa, splashed across the Muong Hoa Valley and falling dramatically to the floor below. Just south of Sapa town, we find jagged mountain ranges crowning golden rice paddies, with wooden clusters of villages dotted throughout.
Our first stop is to Y Linh Ho, where we can talk to some of the Black H’mong villagers about their experiences of living in Vietnam’s mountainous heart. We press on afterwards to Lao Chai, another Black H’mong commune, situated atop a small hill of rippled rice paddies.
A local path will take is from here to the valley floor, where we can appreciate the soaring majesty of the mist-coated peaks above us. It is here that we will sit down for lunch in the great outdoors.
Continuing onwards through the Muong Hoa Valley, we eventually reach the village of Ta Van. We will meet the distinctive Giay ethnic group here and relax for a while in a local family’s homestay. Later on, you can help the family to cook dinner before a sky full of radiant stars sweeps across Sapa.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Activities: Trek from Ta Van through Giang Ta Chai village and end at our ethnic Tay homestay in Ban Ho village, with a bamboo forest and waterfall offering highlights along the way.
Rise to the sight, sound and smell of unbridled nature, viewable from the panoramic windows of our quaint homestay. Breakfast will be served in the morning before we put on our walking boots and wave goodbye to our hosts.
The trek today will take us out of Ta Van Village and across more scores of unbelievable beauty. We pass through the verdant bamboo forests of Hoang Lien Mountain and across a bridge over a gushing stream, eventually arriving in Giang Ta Chai Village and meeting members of the Red Dao ethnic group. Take some time to get to know the smiling locals here, who are easily distinguishable from other groups by the bright red headpieces that they wear.
After this, we press onwards along rustic paths, winding around rice fields below an open sky. We take a small detour and find a beautiful waterfall, which offers the perfect spot to sit down for a picnic lunch.
Following this, we climb the short hill towards Hau Thao village and continue through it to reach the village of Ban Ho. We check into the homestay here and meet our ethnic Tay family, who will be hosting us in their beautiful stilt house staring down the cascade of rice paddies.
A wonderful, home-cooked dinner will be served in the homestay before another perfect evening under the stars.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Activities: Take the walk from Ban Ho village to Nam Toong, before relaxing at a beautiful waterfall and having lunch with our hosts, followed by the transfer to Sapa and then Lao Cai.
Enjoy another lovingly made breakfast in your Tay homestay before getting dressed and heading out for the morning
Our first destination is the village of Nam Toong, an enclave of the Red Dao group. Grab some pictures and possibly some souvenirs before we press onwards.
Cutting through the middle of more pristine Sapa scenery, we reach Lavie Waterfall, a magnificent stream of water tumbling into a placid pool below. We can take some time to swim around here and savour the open and free atmosphere so prevalent in Sapa’s perfect nature.
Following this, we return to Ban Ho village and enjoy lunch with our Tay hosts, eventually bidding them farewell for the final time and returning to Sapa Town via the bus. Enjoy the sites of the former French hill station before the driver returns, ready to take you back to Lao Cai.
Step out of the bus in Lao Cai and wait for your night train back to Hanoi. We hope that you had a great 3 day trip in Sapa.
