This activity involves a 5.5-mile (8-kilometer) hike.
This custom trek starts in the center of Sapa at 9:00 am. The first stop on our trek is a little mountain you can look over to Fansipan Peak, and then we will traverse through the scenic Muong Hoa Valley. The trail leads through an astonishing landscape with stunning views of mountains and rice paddies as far as the eye can see. The views are only interrupted by rivers, local houses, or farmers working in their fields.
At 11:00 am we will arrive at Y Linh Ho, a small village of the Hmong minority. Here we will take a bridge across the beautiful river below. From here the hiking routes will lead us to Lao Chai Sang where we will stop for lunch. We will walk past endless rice fields in the shadow of the mighty mountains.
We arrive at Lao Chai Sang village at 12:30 pm for lunch at a local Hmong Family's home. You can enjoy the great taste of many local foods. After lunch, we'll continue to Lao Chai, where you are likely to see the people working in rice fields, planting or harvesting depending on the time of year.
After another 1.5-hour walk from Lao Chai village (2 pm) you will get a unique experience learning local culture, daily life, and making the traditional clothing of the Hmong people. Finally, we trek to Ta Van village of the Dzay minority, where the bus returns us to Sapa around 3:00 pm.
