Sapa, in Vietnam's far northwest, is a patchwork of emerald rice terraces and hill-tribe villages beneath Mount Fansipan. It's the country's finest trekking, and easier to reach than you might think.
When to go
May–June (planting) and September (golden harvest) give the terraces their most photogenic colours. Winter can be cold and misty; summer brings lush green and occasional rain.
How hard is the trekking?
Routes range from gentle half-day village walks to full-day valley treks and the climb (or cable car) up Fansipan. We match the trail to your fitness and pace — and a homestay night with a local family is unforgettable.
Getting there
An overnight train or a scenic road transfer connects Hanoi to Sapa. We handle the logistics so you arrive rested and ready to walk.
