About This Activity

Start your adventure at 9:30 AM with a warm welcome from your friendly guide at Cinnamon Restaurant. After a short meet and greet, set off on a scenic drive with panoramic views of the mountains and valleys surrounding Sapa. As you descend toward Muong Hoa Valley, the road soon gives way to smaller trails that wind through the countryside, revealing breathtaking views of terraced rice fields and traditional rural life.

Your first stop is Y Linh Ho, a peaceful hamlet home to the Black Hmong people. Enjoy a gentle walk through the village as your guide shares insights into their customs, lifestyle, and ancient farming methods that have shaped these landscapes for generations. Continue your journey along the river to Lao Chai, one of the oldest Hmong villages in the region. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to visit local families, explore their traditional wooden homes, and learn about their daily routines — from textile weaving and clothing dyeing to herbal remedies and cultural traditions passed down through centuries.

After your visit, take a well-deserved break for lunch at a riverside restaurant, where you’ll enjoy fresh, local Vietnamese dishes surrounded by serene mountain views. In the afternoon, continue your trek to Ta Van Village, home to the Giay ethnic minority. Meet local residents, share a cup of green tea, and discover how the Giay people preserve their cultural identity while living harmoniously alongside other ethnic groups in the valley.

Your guide will provide fascinating insights into the blend of traditions that make this region so unique. After a day filled with culture, nature, and unforgettable encounters, relax as you travel back to Sapa via the main road, where your tour concludes in the late afternoon — leaving you with lasting memories of Northern Vietnam’s stunning landscapes and vibrant hill tribe heritage.
