Sapa
is a former French hill station situated in the sweeping valleys
near the Chinese border. Its high elevation of 1600 meters creates
its cool climate which inspired the French to build villas there
as a summer retreat. Today, Sapa still attracts visitors for its
stunning scenery, comfortable climate, colorful markets, and a
variety of ethnic hill tribes who live in nearby villages. This
program has increasingly become popular through the years with
improvements in the road conditions and the new 4-star Victoria
Sapa Hotel making travel today much easier and more comfortable.

Day
1 : Hanoi - Sapa
Our adventure starts with the drive to the mountain town
of Sapa. The journey to Sapa will take the best part of
a day over some uneven roads. The drive is worth it though,
as the scenery that unfolds on our northward journey, and
into the highlands is dramatic and breathtaking. Arriving
in Sapa late in the afternoon, we will check into our hotel
and use what day light there is left to stretch our legs
with a short walk around town. This evening we will dine
at one of the local restaurants.
Day
2 : Sapa Trekking - Catcat -Tavan
Today we start by getting some exercise with a five or six
hour trek to the hill tribe villages of Cat Cat, Ta Van
and Cau May. As we walk to the villages nestled in the valley
below Sapa, we will meet some of the local minority people
on their way to and from Sapa. These minority people, including
the Red Zao, Hmong and Tay people, walk to Sapa to trade
at the markets. Tonight we spend a second night in our hotel
at Sapa town. (Breakfast & Lunch included)
Day
3 : Sapa
Today our morning exercise is to make the short climb up
Ham Rong Mountain for a panoramic view if Sapa and its environs.
Once we have descended the mountain we will then drive six
kilometers out of town. From here we commence a one-hour
walk to Ta Phin, home to the Red Zao people. Here we have
the opportunity to share cultural experiences with the families
that live in the area. From here we will return to Sapa
for lunch and free time in the afternoon. (Breakfast included)
Day
4 : Sapa - Hanoi
For trips in this area on Sundays, we have an extension
tour to Bac Ha, home to the flower Hmong hill tribe minority
people. A visit to the market on Sunday is a must. The very
colourful flower Hmong people converge from far away villages
to trade and exchange goods here. After lunch in Bac Ha,
we begin our seven-hour trip back to Hanoi. For trips not
in this area on Sundays we will make our way directly back
to Hanoi. (Breakfast included)
