Receive the complete tour package from Hanoi to Sapa on the 3-Day Sapa Trekking Tour with Bus– a tour designed for your comfort and convenience in exploring Vietnam’s emerald crown from the capital.
The beautiful mountainous region of Sapa is world-renowned for its tiered rice paddies, which descend the flanks of valleys to rivers and streams along the shaded floor. The mountains that act as their glorious backdrop are some of the most scenic in the country and deserve to be appreciated on a multi-day trek.
The mild trekking path of the 3-Day Sapa Trekking Tour by Bus leads us from Sapa, following quaint paths between lush fields of rice and finishing at the humble villages that house their farmers. These are people of the Black Hmong, Giay, and Red Dao hill tribes, who will share with us different aspects of their respective cultures.
We will stay with a Giay host in Ta Van village for one night before visiting the bustling hub of Sapa town and Fansipan Mountain, the tallest mountain across the three countries of Indochina. End your trip with Incredible Asia Journeys!
