Tours - Meet the Hmong + Trekking in the valley

This tour starting in Sapa is a single day tour to sample some of the great trekking the Sapa region has to offer. We pick you up from your hotel / homestay in Sapa - we can recommend places to stay if you would like some help choosing.

We start early to get the best out of the day and make straight for the Muong Hoa Valley. The first ethnic village that we get to see is Y Linh Ho. This is our introduction to the valley as we will see many more villages like it as well as many beautiful rice terraces as we trek along former buffalo trails.

Along the way we also get to meet some locals who are friendly as well as stopping for a lovely local lunch. This really is a great way to see a different way of life.

The tour finishes later in the afternoon in a lovely village called Ta Van. It is a great place to stay for a day or two as it is so peaceful there. Its just big enough to have a few modern facilities but not so big it looses its quaint charm. Alternatively if you wish we can take you back to Sapa town.


Itinerary

08:45

We start early to get the most out of the day. Also the valley looks great in the morning. Leaving Sapa town square we to head towards our first destination 6km away.

10:30

Y Ling Ho. We stop here for a few moments with a view the village with the most rice terraces in the whole valley. We may bump in to some locals who are interested to know who is in their village. We stop for around 10 minutes before heading off to our lunch time rendezvous.

12:00

We eat in San Sa Ho at a local restaurant. Food is choice of either Hmong food or Vietnamese. If you go for Hmong food - please try the pork belly with wasabi spinach (its our favourite). We have an hour for lunch.

13:30

Headed to Lao Chai we see the valley below again - this time the rice terraces are not so steep. Then we go to a Hmong family who will show us how they make traditional clothing. Our traditional clothing is made from hemp which you have seen growing along the way - depending on season of course. We stay with the family at their house for about 1/2 hr before heading to the next stop.

14:00

Setting off to Ta Van. To get there we can have two route options - one easy & one very hard that is high up the valley. If we stay high up on the harder trek - we get to see better views of the valley below. The easier one is also slightly shorter.

15:30

Alas now its the end of the tour and we have arrived in Ta Van. Congratulations, you just completed 16km of amazing trekking!


*If you are vegetarian - please tell me first as many of the lunchtime dishes have meat.
