Trek Sa Pa’s Muong Hoa Valley through rice terraces, Hmong and Red Dao villages, bamboo forest, rock carvings, and a local lunch.

“Really good Way to explore the valley and how people live there. The path is slippery sometimes and requires attention but no problem for avarge trekkers. Wonderful scenes and authentic experience. What was a bit sad to see was how much rubbish is accumulated sometimes both on land and on the river.”

Review of Sapa’s $25 full-day trek through Y Linh Ho, Lao Chai, and Ta Van, with rice terraces, local lunch, guides, and muddy trail advice.

“All in all the experience was nice, love the trekking to hilly terrain and muddy trek, the guide was also nice. They could actually provide bottle water to each participant at least to anticipate hidration. Thankfully i brought my own. From the beginning we were followed by mong ladies which wasnt part of their trip but yah... It happened. Nothing bad or super negative but they can be chatty.”
