Your adventure in Sapa begins with a scenic drive into the mountains, where you’ll immediately be captivated by the breathtaking views of the lush, green rice terraces that stretch for miles across the valleys.
Your trek begins in the Cat Cat Village, a traditional H’mong ethnic village nestled at the foot of the hills. As you walk through, you’ll pass by local homes, traditional hand-woven textiles, and artisan workshops where locals craft beautiful clothing and jewelry.
You may even get the chance to try your hand at traditional crafts and see how the locals live, work, and maintain their ancestral customs.
From Cat Cat Village, continue trekking through the stunning rice terraces with the backdrop of Hoang Lien Son mountain range.
As you wander through the fields, the vibrant green terraces will unfold in every direction, and the landscape will change with each step. Sometimes you’ll be up high with panoramic views, and other times you’ll find yourself walking along narrow paths between the flooded fields.
After a few hours of trekking, take a break in a local H’mong or Dao village. Here, you’ll be welcomed by the villagers, who may invite you to sit for a chat.
Enjoy a warm cup of tea and learn about the traditional farming methods, rituals, and way of life of the indigenous people. This interaction gives you a deeper insight into the culture of Sapa’s ethnic minorities and their unique lifestyle.
For lunch, you’ll enjoy a meal made from local ingredients, such as a steaming bowl of Pho. The flavors are simple, yet hearty, and eating alongside the locals in their village setting makes the meal all the more special.
Finish your journey by returning to Sapa town, where you can relax with a cup of hot Vietnamese coffee or herbal tea while reflecting on the day’s trek. With its stunning views, vibrant culture, and welcoming people, Sapa offers a true taste of Vietnam.
