Full description
This is a experience from Sapa, built around Sa Xeng Hill and Ta Van. It is run by Sapa Nomad, 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, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Lunch in local restaurant, 1,5 liter of water / person and Entrance fees to villages. It does not cover Tips, 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.
Sa Pa. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Sapa Nomad 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
we had an amazing time exploring sapa with our tour guide nhu! communication before the tour was really good too, which made planning so pleasantly easy. our driver on the day was on time and friendly too. we learnt so many news things on the tour and that was thanks to nhu and her extensive knowledge! for someone looking to explore the valleys and the villages in them, this tour is well organised and no brainier
This is a great an authentic experience. Our guide was excellent and each local person we met was friendly. If you’re looking for a quiet and enjoy real mountain trekking, then this is for you. You must be physically fit (medium level at least) since we go up, quite high to have the best views of Sa Pa and rice fields.
Was a nice hike! The beginning was a little rough to get up the mountain on really steep path, but once you are on the top you have an amazing view. Our guide was very nice and spoke very good English! You will meet a lot of animals on the way ;)
This Tour was quite challeging pysically. But it was so worth the effort. The views were stunning and also we had the greatest guide. I would highly recommand this Tour. The organisation was great, even though we only booked the day before they went out of their way to plan everything for us. Dont book this tour if you are totally unfit or have knee issues. But if you like the mountains and are also interessted in the SaPa culture: Go ahaead!
Beautiful hike up a mountain with valley views. Delicious lunch with vegetarian/vegan options. Our guide was very knowledgeable and told is a lot about the Hmong people and their customs. Highly recommend
we had the trekking tour with a local Nhuand was great. No one tried to sell us something. A lot of information has been provided. Recommend this tour for everyone who wants to do trekking in the forest or rice fields.
Excellent trek. Require some level of fitness though as some parts of the climb and descent are steep. The trek took about 6 to 7 hours and was peaceful with no one trying to sell their items to you. Beautiful views. The lunch was tasty too. Overall, this is a highly recommended trip.
Everything perfect very beautiful tour
Nous avons adoré notre guide Zaa. Elle a été à notre écoute du début à la fin. Le tour privé que nous avions choisi a été modifié à notre demande car mon conjoint et moi avions le rhum au moment du départ et les modifications apportées à notre excursion nous ont permis de profiter de la belle journée. Merci Zaa.
Une guide incroyable (Nay) qui nous a fait découvrir des endroits magnifiques. Loin, très loin des sentiers touristiques. Une expérience incroyable et des paysages à couper le souffle !
Wir haben nicht das gemacht, was in der Beschreibung stand oder nur teilweise. Der Guide war nett, hat viel Interessantes erzählt. Die Tour endete viel früher als angegeben, vielleicht wegen TET.
Vu was a great guide, very kind and helpful. She told us a lot about the flora and fauna of sapa and her life here. Eventhough the weather was bad, we had a good time. Would recommend.
