Embark from Sapa Town, from a location that suits you best.
In past times, Hmong individuals such as Zizi would make their way on foot to the Sapa market from their home village. Today, this route is considered an essential hike.
This one-day hike affords an expansive survey of the principal villages and paths amidst terraced rice fields.
Concluding the hike, you’ll reach Hau Thao village, where Zizi’s kin reside. Here, you’ll be met with a splendid vista and the chance to delve into village life.
Optionally, you’re invited to partake in a familial meal prepared at Zizi Homestay. An English-speaking Hmong guide will be present to offer insights into the history of the trail, local village life, and Hmong traditions.

The location is perfect right next to the start of sapa valley so you can easily walk to the mountain in 10mins - The location is perfect right next to the start of sapa valley so you can easily walk to the mountain in 10mins. The staff are amazing especially the valet he was brilliant. The location is beyond spectacular and you must watch the sunset in the balcony.
The only downside was the food options (breakfast was really good with incredible fresh pancake) but feel like the dinner option could have varied a bit more too.

Decent experience - I twisted my ankle 10 mins before my trek so my guide had to help me a lot during the trip.
In the end, I had to cut my trip short at the 3.5 hours mark due to the pain. My guide was nice and helped me book a bike back.
am giving 4 stars instead of 5 because of seasonality - there wasn’t much going on in March.
