Sa Pa
Hang Da Village - At 9 am, your guide from Trekkingtoursapa will greet you at your Sapa accommodation or outside the main church of Sapa. Following a brief orientation, embark on a 1km ascent via a narrow path to witness the panoramic views of Fansipan mountain, the tallest in Indochina at 3,143 meters, and the entirety of Sapa town. This vantage point also offers a glimpse of Vietnam’s most expansive rice terraces in the Muong Hoa valley, along with the region’s most prominent river and valley. After soaking in the stunning vistas, the journey continues downhill to Hang Da, home to the Black Hmong ethnic group. The excursion provides an opportunity to observe local wildlife, including buffaloes, goats, and pigs. A quaint family-run eatery will serve as our lunch spot.
Hau Thao - Post-lunch, we’ll proceed along a minor trail descending to Hau Thao, another Black Hmong village. Witness the villagers’ everyday activities and, depending on the season, you might observe them working in the fields, either harvesting or sowing rice. A hospitable Black Hmong family will host us at their homestay in Hau Thao village.
Hau Thao
Muong Hoa Valley - Following a delightful breakfast at the homestay, we’ll set out on the day’s trek. Departing from the homestay, we’ll trek towards Su Pan, a hamlet nestled near the Black Hmong mountain range. This location offers a splendid opportunity to capture the sweeping views of the rice paddies. The inhabitants of this area reside in modest, traditional dwellings and lead lives that are deeply connected to nature.
