Full description
This is a 7-hour experience from Sapa, built around Bản Ý Linh Hồ, Lao Chai Village and Ta Van. It is run by HELEN, 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 Transportation, guide and Lunch with locals. It does not cover Tax invoice, Drink, Visa and Personal expenses, Tips and Gratuities, 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.
Hoàng Văn Thụ, tt. Sa Pa, Sa Pa, Lào Cai, Việt Nam. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with HELEN 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
The best treeking trip, everything was perfect, I considered when I saw the 2 star rating from the previous review, but because the price was so good, I still decided to book this trip. I couldn't believe that the trip was successful beyond my expectations, the scenery was beautiful, the tour guide was enthusiastic and thoughtful. I very like her. A plus point to highly recommend is that I didn't need to go to the meeting point, the tour guide picked me up and dropped me off at the hotel I was staying at. It is very convenience. I'm a vegetarian and they thoughtfully asked in advance and prepa
Escursione molto bella in mezzo alle valli vicino a sapa, cibo buono e posti fantastici, consiglio di portare delle buone scarpe
Un grazie a Su che ha reso l’esperienza non solo un meraviglioso trekking nel bel mezzo dei campi di riso, dei bufali e di tanto altro, ma anche un vero e proprio viaggio all’interno della cultura dei popoli locali. Simpatico, con un estrema conoscenza delle usanze e molto molto paziente. Oltre a questo sicuramente l’esperienza vale il prezzo, se non di più. Paesaggi magnifici e un gran bel pranzo a lato del fiume in uno dei villaggi. Super consigliato. E dategliela una mancia che se la merita tutta !
Very nice excursion in the country side and among nice villages. Beautiful landscapes. Nice lunch. Guide very friendly.
Our trek with Mao was amazing. The views along the trek was incredible. Walking through ricefields and seeing the beautiful landscape was a very nice experience. Mao was kind and invited us to her home where she told us about her life. Really recommend this trek!!
The trek was very interesting although my legs were a bit tired cause of walking a lot. Luckily the provider gave me a discount voucher for a massage at a local massage store in Sapa center. Very convenient, a very worthwhile experience in Sapa and the price was extremely reasonable.
Mama Mao à été une super guide. Elle nous a fait découvrir de super paysages dans des lieux reculés du monde de la ville que nous connaissons habituellement. Nous avons fais l’excursion d’1 journée seulement mais elle propose des excursions plus longues durant lesquelles vous pouvez dormir chez elle. Nous y avons fait l’escale final où elle nous a offert du thé et les lieux étaient très beaux: petit chalet individuels avec vu sur la montagne et la piscine. Si j’étais en meilleure forme physique nous serions restés plus longtemps ! Mao est quelqu’un de très gentille et rigolote nous avons aimé
trek très physique avec un paysage magnifique dejeuner bon et guide excellent
Nos encantó el trekking por los arrozales, sin duda fue una gran elección. Su, el guía, es un chico encantador y atento que además de enseñarnos paisajes espectaculares, nos contó cómo es la forma de vida de las etnias de la zona. Además habla perfectamente inglés por lo que la comunicación es muy fluida. Muchas gracias por todo Su, fue un placer conocerte :)
Su, la nostra guida, era un ragazzo veramente gentile e carino, e’ stato sempre presente e ci ha raccontato tante cose sulle etnie del Vietnam. Il paesaggio, seppur noi abbiam trovato una giornata con la pioggia, e’ bellissimo e vale la pena. L’unico appunto che mi sento di fare e’ che il trekking e’ indicato come facile ma in realta’ e’ stato abbastanza impegnativo a causa delle belle pendenze del territorio,
Su a été un super guide tout au long de la balade. Il s’est montré attentif à chacun de nous sur un chemin glissant à cause de la pluie. Les vues sur les rizières étaient magnifiques et nous avons pu en apprendre davantage sur les différentes minorités du pays !
Guide très sympathique agréable, disponible, soucieux du bien être des participants., à l écoute. Très belle journée dans de magnifiques paysages. Merci Châu À Su
