Sapa Tours & Activities
Overview
Day one walks the length of the valley — Y Linh Ho, Lao Chai, then Ta Van, where you sleep in a family homestay: dinner cooked over the kitchen fire, rice wine if you’re up for it, terraces outside the window at sunrise. Day two is a short 6 km through Giang Ta Chai’s bamboo forest and waterfall to Su Pan, with the car back by 2 PM. Your guide — usually Nhu or Nay, H’mong women from these villages — stays with you both days.
Tour Options: This trek runs as a Private Tour — $52–89/person depending on group size, with your own guide both days. The homestay night, four meals, entrance fees and an English-speaking guide are included.

FAQs
The trail is not technically difficult, but it does require endurance. You’ll be walking for hours each day (around 12 km on Day 1 and 6 km on Day 2) on varied terrain including dirt paths, rice terraces, and small hills. As long as you’re comfortable walking and enjoy being active, you’ll be fine!
You will stay in a cozy eco-homestay in Ta Van village, hosted by a local Giay/H’mong family. The room is clean, rustic, and comfortable, offering a true local experience. If another kind of accommodation is preferred, please don’t hesitate to tell us in advance.
Yes, all meals during the tour are included: lunch and dinner on Day 1, breakfast and lunch on Day 2. Meals feature traditional dishes prepared by the local families.

Yes. It’s suitable for reasonably fit beginners, couples, and teenagers aged 12 and above. The overnight stay in Ta Van also gives your legs a proper rest between days. We just don’t recommend it for children under 10 or guests with significant mobility limitations.
We recommend packing light for this trek. A small daypack (20–25L) is ideal — just enough for your personal essentials. For clothing, bring thin, lightweight layers that are easy to move in; heavy luggage will slow you down significantly on the trails. Here’s a quick packing list for the 2 days:
- 1–2 changes of light, breathable clothing
- A light fleece or thin jacket for cooler evenings in Ta Van
- Packaway personal item bag
- Refillable water bottle and light snacks
- Cash in Vietnamese Dong, your phone and a small power bank
The homestay provides bedding and towels, so there’s no need to pack those. If you’re traveling with a larger suitcase, we can arrange secure luggage storage at your hotel in Sapa while you trek — just let us know in advance.
A family house in Ta Van village: clean bedding, hot shower, shared or private room (tell us your preference when booking). You eat what the family cooks — and it is the best meal of the trip.
