Morning
Prepare to embark on the adventure of a lifetime in Sapa’s off-the-beaten-track destinations!
At around 09:00, your local guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel in Sapa for a short road transfer towards the starting point of the trek.
Get ready to hike uphill on a rocky path for 2 hours along a narrow valley that runs between two high mountains, passing by two villages of the Black Hmong people, Sau Chua and Sa Seng. It's a great opportunity to witness the local way of life and experience their culture. The breathtaking natural views along the way will surely make the trek all the more worth it.
Experiencing an amazing visit to a Hmong village, you will be fascinated to see how they have recently changed their way of living from a swidden cultivation style to a sedentary one. Despite the changes, there were still many traces of their past, such as rudimentary houses and stone walls surrounding them.
During the visit, you also got to enjoy a lunch break in the village which was quite a unique experience.
Afternoon
Continue along the same trail and gradually hike uphill towards Den Thang mountain for about 1 hour until we reach Hang Da Village of the H'mong, which is situated at an altitude of 1,800 m and offers a stunning view of the Muong Hoa Valley. It would be an interesting venture to pay a visit to several local houses and learn more about the culture and traditions of the local people.
Take a leisurely stroll on the elevated path for about half an hour after departing from Hang Da. This route will offer you breathtaking views of the Muong Hoa Valley until your arrival at Hau Chu Ngai, a village belonging to the Black H'mong. Don't forget to capture the stunning landscapes along the way - the trek is sure to provide plenty of opportunities for the perfect photo!
You'll head downhill for about an hour along a dirt track to reach Pho Village, which is located at the center of Hau Thao Commune. And once you get there, you'll be picked up and taken back to Sapa.
Hope you enjoy every moment of this intriguing adventure!
