Ha Noi - Sapa (4 days / 3 nights)
Sapa is a former French hill station situated in sweeping valleys near the Chinese border. Sapa attracts visitors for its stunning scenery, comfortable climate, outstanding trekking, colorful markets and variety of ethnic hill tribes who live in nearby villages. This program has increasingly become popular through the years with improvements in the road conditions and the new 4-star Victoria Sapa Hotel making travel today much easier and more comfortable.
Our adventure starts with the 10-hour drive through picturesque hills and valleys into the highlands. Arriving in Sapa late in the afternoon, we will check our hotel and use what day light there is left to stretch our legs with a short walk around town. Following a good nights rest, we start by getting some exercise with a 2 hours trek to the hill tribe village of Ta Phin, home to the Dao minority. As we walk through the villages, we will meet some of the local minority people on their way to and from Sapa. Day 3 and there will be another five or six hour trek to the hill tribe villages of Cat Cat, Ta Van and Cau May. Once again, we will encounter minority people, including the Red Dao, Hmong and Tay people. After two nights in Sapa we will make our way back to Ha Noi via the township of Bac Ha*, to see the very colorful flower H'mong people. From here, it is an eight-hour drive to Ha Noi.
