Full description

This is a 2-day experience in Sapa. It is run by LALA SAPA TREKKING & HOMESTAY., 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 English-speaking Hmong guide, 1 night stay at Cozy Homestay, All meal: Lunch, Dinner, Entrance fees to all villages and sights on the route and Round-trip transport between Sapa Town and ending points. It does not cover Personal travel insurance, Extra drinks or snacks not mentioned in the program, Tips or gratuities for your local guide and Additional transport outside the scheduled itinerary, 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.

078 Lương Định Của, TT. Sa Pa, Sa Pa, Lào Cai, Việt Nam. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with LALA SAPA TREKKING & HOMESTAY. before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Thank you to Su and Lala for this unforgettable experience. The trekking was fantastic and with constant beautiful view and Su often described plants, crops, animals and way of life during our hike. They have a big and cozy home where we were all welcomed. They are a lovely couple who really enjoys spending time with other people. I also had a lot of fun with the travlers in the group, they were super interesting and fun. You don't necessarily need to be a hiker to do this, as long as you enjoy nature and are interested in a local experience I can only highly recommend!

Such a great way to see Sapa and meet the locals. We trekked through rice fields and saw a waterfall. Definitely recommend if you have time while you’re in the Sapa area.

Best experience in vietnam so far, Lala her Sister and Lalas Husband are soo cool - they also have a very cute cat, dogs and kids. The trekking was amazing and the dinner + the happy water in the evening was so so so good and funny. We played funny games, laughed a lot and ended the night with karaoke. Thank you so so so much for this incredible nice experience :)

We had an amazing time with Lala Trekking. They were so friendly all the time and made sure we are safe and feel good all the time. Even though it was raining all the time, we had an amazing experience. The food in the homestay was so delicious and it might the the best chicken I ever had. In the evening we played some very funny games and had some shots of happy water. Thank you again for that amazing journey. Would recommend you 10/10.

I am so grateful to Lala and Su for their kindness and their warm welcome. Lala brought so much positive energy during our trek the first day which really made the whole experience worth while! We spent the evening together laughing and playing cards, everything you need after an active day! We spent the second day with Su, and again I couldn’t have wished for a better guide! The paths we took were truly beautiful and the landscapes just breathtaking! I would book with them again without hesitation, and you should too! 😊 Thank you so much! ☺️

We had an absolutely wonderful trekking experience in Sapa with Lala and her lovely family. ❤️ Lala was incredibly kind, warm and welcoming, and she shared so many fascinating stories about the daily life, traditions and culture of the local villagers. It made the whole experience feel very authentic and special. The trekking itself was beautiful, and staying with her family was a real highlight of our trip. The accommodation was comfortable, and the food was absolutely delicious! Everything was prepared with so much care and hospitality. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting

This was by far, the best activity and place we have been in all of Vietnam. Su and Lala were both so welcoming to their home and brilliant guides on our hike. We have learned so much about Vietnamese culture and they’re both great cooks. Lala is hilarious and should start her own comedy show, we had great fun playing cards with the hosts and sharing happy water. 10/10 experience, will recommend for anyone I know going to Vietnam. Thank you from Jimmy & Linda.
