Sapa Trekking Full Day Tour 1

9:00am Meet up your local guide at the hotel and start trekking. The first part is on the road but we soon turn to the right and walk on a small path down the valley to Y Linh Ho village settled down by the Muong Hoa River and from here to the Black H’mong village of Lao Chai.

Enjoy the beauty of rice fields

Black H’mong is one of the biggest minority groups in the Sapa area. They are proud of their culture and keep their traditions and way of living. They have their own language and wear traditional indigo blue clothing. The H’mong peoples have just recently changed their living way from sifting style into the sedentary one. So there are still a lot traces of the past time can be seen: rudimentary houses, stone wall around homes…

Traditional costume of ethnic people

After that you continue to Ta Van village (1.200m) to visit Zay people. Zay is a fairly small minority group of about 38.000 people who live mainly in the mountains in Northwest Vietnam. The development has meant that some of their old customs have been lost but many women still wear traditional shirts with a purple, blue or green color. The Zay houses are build of wood and bamboo with a clay floor.

Rice fields on high mountains

If you travel sometime between May and October, you will have chance to observe and experience how the local do planting and harvesting on the beautiful rice terrace fields of Muong Hoa valley, one of the most important activities in the daily life.
After visiting Ta Van village, our car await to take you back to your hotel in Sapa.
