SAPA HARD TRECKKING 5 DAYS/6 NIGHTS

Sapa - YLinh Ho - Lao Chai - Ta Van. Giang Ta Chai – Su Pan – Ban Ho - Nam toong – Thanh Phu – My Son

Private tour
Introduction

At a elevation of 1600 meters, Sapa is a delightful old French hill station situated in the mountainous region of Vietnams' northwest, close to the Chinese border. The region is home to many ethnic minorities groups all wearing their traditional and colourful attire. This trip includes a 4-day trek through the hills and valleys in the Sapa region. Average walking time for each day is around 6 hours, passing through H'mong, Day, Tho, Tay, Nhang, and Red Dao communities. Three nights are spent in these minority villages so be warned, you will have to do without some modern comforts on this one. Often there is no electricity or running water and bedding can be a layer of straw covered with a mat in some cases. The apparent hardships are worth it though as we walk through some of the most spectacular scenery that Vietnam has to offer.

Tour Highlight

  • Night train soft sleeper 4 beds with AC to Sapa

  • See Vietnam's most intriguing ethnic minorities

  • Relax or wandering around Sapa town,shopping in Sapa market
