Tours - Ta Van to Su Pan + Waterfall
Starting further down in the heat of the Muong Hoa Valley, this tour starting in Ta Van 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 Ta Van - we can recommend places to stay if you would like some help choosing. Fabulous lunch is included as well as the taxi to return to your Ta Van location.
We will get to see the bamboo forests, rice terraces, some local tribes people, a lovely waterfall as well as the possibility of a swim! As this tour is starting further down the valley - there are also far less tourists on this route.
Itinerary
08:45
We start the tour early. Leaving Ta Van Village to head to Giang Ta Chai for lunch where Hmong & Dao people live.
09:00
To get there, we must travel though the bamboo forest. Access is via a small footpath that leads up from the village. When the footpath ends we cross the tops of some rice terraces. If it’s harvest season we may chat to a farmer, if you are interested we can even help out for a bit & learn some farming! We then ascend some more into the forest. The forest is alive with birdsong. There is the sound of running water too if it has been raining recently.
11:30
We exit the forest & find ourselves at a lovely waterfall. We stop to take some photos. The waterfall is nearly 100m from the very top. It is possible to swim in the pool at the top if there is enough water. We can talk with some locals here if you wish - the locals love to talk. To cross the Muong Hoa river we must do a little “rock hopping”.
12:00
In Giang Ta Chai have a choice of 2 locations for lunch. Either with Cam, a local or having a picnic. Lunch is Vietnamese style - pork / chicken, steamed rice / noodles, spring rolls. All freshly made and very delicious.
13:00
Hugging the river (Giang Ta Chai is on both sides of the river) we travel heading towards Su Pan 2. On the way we see some homes of the Red Dao. If you wish, we can stay to a chat & find out about their way of life. Continuing our journey we find a narrow path that takes us through a 2nd smaller bamboo forest. We then ascend the valley to get to our final stop - Su Pan 2. This takes about an hour from valley floor to the village.
16:00
Alas now its the end of the tour and we have arrived in Su Pan 2. Congratulations, you just completed 16km of amazing trekking!
