Luxury Halong Bay & Sapa Adventure 5 days

Morning

After having breakfast at the hotel, we will visit Ta Phin Village, the first stop of the trekking journey at 08:00, which has the most beautiful traditional costumes of the Red Dao ethnic people. Located in a remote location and rarely visited by tourists, Ta Phin village retains the wild landscape, and the indigenous people still retain the most affluent cultural identities.

Afternoon

13:30: Say goodbye to Ta Phin Village and start trekking through the picturesque Sa Pa Valley to the villages of Lao Chai Village and Ta Van Village.

Let's blow your mind with the "specialty" of the Northwest mountains, the majestic terraced fields. Especially if you go in the right season of ripe rice or pouring water, the scenery is incredible.
