Epic Trek + Homestay In Sapa, Vietnam | What To Know BEFORE You Go
Sapa is one of the most beautiful regions of Vietnam that has rolling mountain rice terraces, waterfalls and lush valleys. It is also home to some very interesting ethnic minorities like the Hmong Tribe which originally came from China, but has settled in northern Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar. If you are looking for a culturally rich experience you can join a hiking trek lead by a local guide and stay in homestays along the way. I did the 3 day / 2 night option and had an absolutely incredible time. But having said that, it was significantly more difficult than I was expecting and there are some things you should know before you go and even decide if it’s really the right trip for you to do. I hope this video will be helpful and below is the contact info of two companies I would recommend in doing this trek:
Who I used (not sponsored)
Adventure Indochina Travel:
*My agents name is Thien and you can contact him directly by whatsapp: 84 96 323 3197
He helped arrange all of our bus tickets from/to Hanoi, the whole Sapa trek and also Ha Giang Loop. Super easy to book everything in one go but if you wanted to do just trekking (I found this group after I went), it looks like a great company to support and the most direct way to help the local community continue to prosper: Sapa Sisters:

*** I USE AFFILIATE LINKS ***
Affiliate links do not cost you as the consumer any more than you would normally pay, but it does offer a kickback to the person who initiated the sale. This allows me to financially continue to be able to make content for you and I only endorse products I genuinely love. Any sponsored content will be stated as so.
