3-daagse trektocht in de geweldige Muong Hoa-vallei en etnische gastgezin

Lang was our guidon a 3D2N trek from Sapa out into the countryside. Our group started with 11 trekkers but som were one day trekkers and some were 2 day trekkers. I would definitely remember 3 days if you have the time and energy. By day three it was just Lang, my husband and me. Three days out gets you away from where most other trekkers are headed. Most of the day we saw only local people and experienced more beautiful landscapes. The trek starting Sapa and by the time you start to develop into the forest there are local women there to “help” you along the trail and to sell you there wears. Lang told us this would happen and I had also read about it so had planned to use the opposite to buy gifts for friends and family since we weee at the end of our Vietnam trip. The trekkers was a bit more challenge on the 2 day because it was more up and down through bamboo forest and across the rice paddies. You need to be completely scrambling at bit but Lang was always there to help. Definitely go for 3 days if you can manage the time and trekking. We had more time to chat with Lang and take things a a comfortable pace for folks in their early 60’s. The home stays were comfortable and always had a hot shower after a day of trekking. While the landscape is stunning what made the trip truly memorable was Our guide, Lang. She was open, friendly, funny and shared about her community and family to give us a greater appreciation for the people and the landscape.

Great time trekking through rice paddies, bamboo forests, small villages and towns. Lang was an amazingly guide. She is funny, always answering our questions and checking in to see if we were doing ok or having fun. We chose the 3 day trek. Our group started out with 11 trekkers. We left town and as we started to descend into the forest there were many local women waiting to “help” us and sell us their goods. I had read that this would happen and Lang also told us what to expect. Because we were towing the end of our Vietnam trip I had planned to buy gifts for friends from these woman. They are tenacious but it is their only way of making money and if you say no they will move on. Day 2 we were down to 5 trekkers. Day two was more challenging with lots of up and down through bamboo rainforests and rice paddies. We’re in our early 60’s so older than most of the folks we saw trekking. We were the only ones in our group that chose the three day trek so it was just Lang and us. So glad for the third day to move a a slower pace and take in the landscape. Lang gave us options to take harder or easier routes. We chose harder which meant harder terrain to navigate and no other trekkers. Lang was an amazing guide. You would be lucky to have her guide you through the amazing countryside.

The company was very professional! I was sick during the trip and the very nice tourguide Sue accustomed the whole tour to my needs. The homestays cooked delicious food und gave a comfortable housing. The trekking was adventurous und fun. Very recommendable!
