Van Sapa: tweedaagse tocht door dorpen en natuur

We highly recommend this trip. We had Cha Cha as our guide and he was perfect. He was extremely mindful and helpful in keeping us safe on our first rainy muddy day of hiking. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and our comfort and satisfaction was his utmost goal. Wonderful trip. Ask for Cha Cha!

My wife and I were there in a non busy period. We spent two days trekking for 5/6 hours a day and we can say this was one of our highlights in our trip to Vietnam . From.Hanoi, it takes some.time to get there (we strongly recommend the night train) but once you're up in the mountains, you leave the traffic,smoke and honks behind and experience beauty. Our guide was a local woman, with a pretty good English for the vietnamese average and extremely kind. She always tried to satisfy our needs and look after us when we stayed in homestays. This nights in local houses is key to understand what the valley is about. They feed you real Vietnamese food, exquisite, and if you're hungry, they cook more, as much as you need after a day of trekking. During the trip our guide would give us options of different tracks, so we also had a good time choosing. We walked through the rice fields, we climbed muddy tracks (be sure to buy some water boots if it's rainy in sapa,not high end gear,just the ones they wear, regular rain boots) we ate good food and got to know the different etnias in the region, through the explanation of our guide. The reason I'm writing all this is because I'm very happy with how it all turned out and how helpful were in nomad trails whenever we would have a doubt with train or bus schedules....if we needed a driver to pick us up at Lao Cai... The only thing I'd like to have known. Some local women are artisans and the will walk with you part of the tracks. There's no need to buy anything from them, although it's the real thing. But ask your guide what would be a fair price for the things they're selling (I suck at bargain...) Enjoy your trip,people! Alberto

Nous avons fait un trek de 3 jours et 2 nuits chez l habitant. Le trek était exceptionnel !! Nous sommes passé à travers les rizières, les forêts de bambous, les villages et une belle baignade dans une cascade... Nous en avons pris plein les yeux. De belles rencontre authentique chez l habitant. Nous étions avec notre fils de 8 ans notre guide chinh qui parle parfaitement le français etait d une gentillesse incroyable. Il s est adapté à notre rythme à nos envies, étant lui même hmong nous avons énormément appris sur leur culture, leur histoire et mode de vie. Nous avons également fait la baie de lanh la avec nomadtrail. Tout ce circuit à etait parfaitement organisé par Loan qui est incroyable et extrêment gentille. Elle a était disponible depuis le premier contact jusqu'à la fin en s assurant que tout était parfait pour nous. Merci Loan, merci chinh, ce voyage n aurait pas été le même sans vous ????
