This is a unique experience that will remain with you forever.

You will have the chance to spend the night in homestays, where you can enjoy Wi-Fi and hot showers. Alternatively, you may opt to stay in a local house with a local family. Either way, you will experience this incredible place and its amazing people. Gather around an open fire, spend time chatting, and get to know your host family. In the local house, there will be no luxuries, no Wi-Fi, but there is an opportunity to disconnect from the internet and, for a while, connect with nature. You’ll be amazed by the positive impact a “back to basics” lifestyle (even for a few days) can have. Instagram and Facebook can wait!

All our treks are private with your own tour guide. We avoid other tourist routes (unless you request otherwise). Our guides speak excellent English, are local, and possess extensive knowledge about Sapa, its surroundings, history, culture, and the various tribes.

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
