This is a once in a lifetime experience, that will stay with you forever.
You will be accompanied by one (or more) of our expert English-speaking native local guides who have so much knowledge about Sapa, the surroundings, its' history, culture, and the different tribes.
We avoid other tourist routes, enjoy Sapa & the ancient tribal culture, craftsmanship and the breath taking rice fields.
Stay the night in homestays & enjoy wifi & hot showers, or stay in an authentic local house with a local family. Huddle round an open fire, with rice wine and local delights. Spend time chatting and getting to know your host family. You’ll be surprised by the wonderful effect a “back to basics” lifestyle (even for a couple of days) can have.
And by booking with Sapa Tribal Trekking, you are giving back to the local H’mong guides and the local people, giving them opportunities to earn a fair wage, which in a region where 70% of the population is below the poverty line, is desperately need.
