7 Days Trek(Please click trip code to book)
Day 1: We start out together with our team of Black Hmong porters from SaPa around 9.00 am and head for the Black Hmong village of Sin Chai in the bottom of the valley. Soon thereafter the path begins to ascend and we will walk for about three hours before our cook serves a well prepared lunch in the forest. We continue our climb and around 4.30 pm we arrive at our campsite at approximately 2500 m. The tents are raised for your comfort and the cook is already busy preparing a well deserved dinner. It is time to enjoy the fresh air and the nocturnal sounds of nature!
Day 2: Today is summit day, so after an early breakfast we leave our base camp around 7.00 am and start climbing upwards. Around noon we can put our hands on the marker and quietly enjoy the spectacular view towards Laos and China, while having our lunch and resting our feet! The duration of our stay at the summit depends on the weather conditions, time for a good long break, before we trek down to our base camp at 2700 m.
Day 3: We enjoy our morning-coffee and the sounds of nature, while the porters take down the camp and move ahead downs to other side of the mountain. At around 2400 m the rainforest gradually gives way to huge, succulent bamboo, and now have a magnificent view down through the long Muong Khoa valley, at an altitude of 2400 m, the porters put up our camp for overnights. There is a fine view from here, and this will be our base camp.
Day 4: As usual, we pack our Tents ready for new day. Hiking to the village of the Black H’mong tribe which named Seo Mi Ty. After the first 3 nights, on this day we officially meet the hill tribe in this small village. People are curious to strangers, landscape is fantastic, the life is wild. We spend one more night in tents nearby a romantic river.
Day 5: After breakfast we start the adventure of the day. The trekking is beautiful and easy seasoned by the crossing of two rivers by both a primitive aerial ropeway and an old suspension bridge. We plan to spend the night in Ta Trung Ho, which is inhabited by the Red Dao minority. Both the valley and the village received its first foreign visitors in 1996 in connection with a Topas/ Phu Thinh special project in the area.
Day 6: We are now at the fringe of the rain forest by the Hoang Lien Son mountain range. With 3143 m the highest mountain in Vietnam - Fan Si Pan - is located in this mountain range. Crossing a mountain pass in the altitude of 1180 m. we descend to Ban Ho which is inhabited by the Tay Hill tribe. We expect to stay overnight in a local stilt house.
Day 7: Today we relax and experience the every day life in Ban Ho, if it is possible to enjoy a refreshing swim in the river nearby the village at the time the cooks will prepare the lunch and we have the lunch on the bank of the Lave’s river. We leave Ban Ho after lunch and ascend to Su Pan, where Russian jeeps are awaiting us. The jeeps will drive us back to Sa Pa. and we will reach SaPa again in the afternoon in time for a good evening meal, a hot shower, a cold drink, and other modern conveniences.
