Full description
This is a 6-hour experience in Sapa. It is run by Sapa Trekking Hiking Tours, 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 Hotel pick up and drop-off, Villages entry fee, guide, Meal: Lunch at local restaurant and Water: 1.5L/per person. It does not cover Take herbal bath at Red Dao house, Personal travel insurance, Extra drink along the way and Tip for guide, 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 Trekking Hiking Tours 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
Wir hatten einen tollen und super freundlichen Guide (weiblich - Chi), die all unsere Fragen beantwortet hat und uns sehr viel über das Leben dort erklärt hat. Das war wunderbar! Allerdings wurde man nicht in die Dörfer gefahren, sondern wir sind eine knapp 12 km lange Tour durch die Reisfelder angetretenen. Die Natur war wunderschön und super beeindruckend. Allerdings ist die Strecke auch sehr anspruchsvoll gewesen, was nicht für Menschen geeignet ist, die nicht körperlich fit sind. Das Mittagessen bei einer Familie mit super Ausblick war ein Highlight. Alles in allem zu empfehlen, allerdings
