Following the established trekking paths around Sapa Town, the Best of Sapa 2 Day Tour is a conclusive look at some of the nearby communes of Sapa, homes to various tribes like the H’mong, Giay, Tay and Red Dao. This tour, operated by Incredible Asia Journeys, starts at Lao Cai train station, from where we will pick you up and drop you off.
We will meander past the scenery that Sapa has become known for worldwide; rippling rice terraces bridging the gap between the valley floor and the sky, flanked by iconic limestone mountains with small specks of mist gliding languidly by. We return to Sapa for a comfortable night’s sleep in this old French hill town, used by colonialists to escape the Hanoi summers.
We see how the locals live and have adapted to the demands of tourism in their ancient homes. We meet smiling faces along the way and take the opportunity to learn about true happiness in this most beautiful of regions.
