Great trek with Sung ! - We had a great trek with Sung. Started from SaPa, generally the trek was easy, some roads but mainly paths however the first part was quite tricky and slippery due to construction work going on and trying to get down quite a steep bank, after that it was fine walking through the rice fields (no rice in January as it’s not rice season which is (April -August) A couple of young women joined us they were quite helpful getting us down the tricky bank, they staid with us until we got to a little drink stop where they showed us what they were selling. We bought a small handmade purse from each of them for around £5 each which they were very happy with, giving us bracelets for free then they left us. We continued to walk amongst the fields, up to a bridge then along the river into another village where we had a delicious lunch which is included but had to buy drinks. We continued through the village looking in a traditional home etc. All in all a very good tour. I would advise that if the weather has been wet then some parts could be slippery especially on rocks when crossing streams etc

Fulfilling experience - Highly recommend this journey through the valley experiencing the culture and lifestyle of the surrounding villagers. Sung was a wonderful guide and inspiration speaking great English and sharing her culture. A very humbling experience for us westerners. The amazing terrain can be a bit slippery at times, so be prepared to get your shoes muddy 👍 amazing views 👌
