Y Linh Ho, Lao Chai, and Ta Van Trekking Tour in Sapa
Full description
This is a 4-hour experience in Sapa. It is run by Vietnam Travel Top Co., Ltd, 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 local guide in Sapa, Trekking through Y Linh Ho village, Lunch at a local restaurant in Lao Chai village and Transportation back to Sapa by van. It does not cover Beverages and Others not clearly mentioned above, 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 Stone Church. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Vietnam Travel Top Co., Ltd before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
