Full description

This is a 2-day experience in Sapa. It is run by Mimi SaPa Trekking Tour, 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.

Arashiyama, on Kyoto's western edge, is the bamboo grove, the Togetsukyo bridge over the Katsura river, the gardens of Tenryu-ji and the monkey park on the hill above. The bamboo path is about 500 metres and is photographed empty in every guidebook because those photographs are taken before 7:30; by mid-morning it is a procession. Rickshaw runs, the Sagano scenic railway along the gorge, and boat rides down the Hozu rapids all start here. Autumn colour peaks in the second half of November and cherry blossom around the first week of April.

The price covers local guide, 1 night homestay and 2 lunches, 1 dinner, 1 breakfast. It does not cover Personal expenses, Tips for guide, Travel insurance and Drinks, 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.

Mimi SaPa Trekking Tour 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 Mimi SaPa Trekking Tour before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

We had the best 2 days trekking through the villages. Our guide Mimi was so sweet and taught us a lot about the area. The home stay was great and in an amazing location and all their family are so kind! Great food and great views the whole way. Highly recommend doing with this company !!

Most day treks are 10 to 15 km on village paths, steep and muddy after rain, done in trainers or light boots. Local Hmong or Dao women guide and set an easy pace.
