Full description
This is a 2-day experience in Sapa. It is run by Vietnam Nomadtrails, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Japan's outdoors is organised: trails are marked, mountain huts are booked, and the walking routes with history, the Nakasendo post road between Magome and Tsumago and the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in Wakayama, are done in comfortable day stages with luggage forwarded. Cycling tours use the flat river paths and back streets that cars avoid. The summer heat from July to September makes early starts essential in the cities and lowlands, while the mountains are cool. Winter turns Hokkaido and Nagano into ski country from December to March, with the powder that Niseko and Hakuba are known for.
The price covers guide, All entrance tickets to sites indicated, 2 lunches in a local restaurant, 1 hosted dinner in the village and 1 breakfast at the homestay. It does not cover Drinks, VAT and tips and 30 USD per person surcharge for Lunar New Year, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
Vietnam Nomadtrails sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Vietnam Nomadtrails before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Traveler Reviews
scenic beauty, lovely people and culture, Nhu was a superb guide.
This tour was our favourite activity during our time in Vietnam. We absolutely loved trekking around Sapa, the homestay was great and the lunches and dinner were very tasty. Lan, our tour guide, was just a joy, she helped us understand about the Hmong culture and she really made this experience worthwhile. Thank you Lan! Totally recommend this tour.
I liked the trekking. We did a 2 day trek and staying overnight in the homestay was a one of a kind experience!
Great guide, lovely homestay. They learned us how to make spring rolls and how to properly eat with chip sticks.
Well organized trek with amazing scenery. Our guide, Lan, was amazing! Answered all our questions and always made sure everyone was doing all right. She adapted to the needs of the group and offered a glimpse of her culture. Homestay was very nice as well.
I had a superb time on the two day trek. the guide was exceptional - really friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating and good at helping us traverse the terrain (along with a wonderful group of local women for the first bit of the first day). The meals were excellent and the homestay was a great experience, and insight into the lives of the locals.
Myself and my boyfriend completed the two day, one night trek in Nov 2024 with a small group, and our incredible guide Suli! Suli was amazing- she is local to the villages, and taught herself English years ago from speaking to tourists. Her English was brilliant, as was her sense of humour! She took us on exciting routes (which we all loved) and taught us lots about local culture and history. She answered our thousands of questions, and got us some good local discounts too! The tour company were also perfect with communication, and very accommodating (with transport to and from the tour, stori
exposure to a way of life never experienced before
staying in a local home and trekking around the beautiful villages. Our guide brough her kid the second day and we had a lovely day with the two of them ❤️
It was raining in the morning and I contemplated to join the tour as I think it might be dangerous and muddy. BUT the organiser was very encouraging and persuading me to join as it is going to be beautiful. & Im glad I did as the whole experience is amazing, the trek is muddy but there will be locals holding/guiding you and that’s the thrill of it, the homestay made me feel very warmth and homely with the authentic vietnamese home-cook dinner, the guide (Lang) speaks good english and she is very friendly and patiently explains the different ethnic cultures. Overall, I’m glad that I get to expe
The activity was awesome and our guide “Mme Nhu” was just amazing and really kind. I recommend 100%. Only one unpleasant thing with the last transfer back to Sapa. We had to wait for another group during 40 minutes in a van and we almost missed our bus to Hanoi.
From the moment you book, the company reaches out to you for any assistance required. The guide Khu was so friendly, always eager to answer questions and so helpful. The homestay had an amazing view - surprisingly had internet and outlet. Would recommend
