Y Linh Ho - Y Linh Ho Village is home to various small ethnic groups scattered across the mountain slopes, with the Black H’Mong and Dao being the most populous. The village is now divided into two communes: Y Linh Ho 1 and Y Linh Ho 2, each housing around 100 Mong and Dao families. Visitors to Y Linh Ho Village will be captivated by the stunning views of terraced and corn fields. These fields, a primary source of livelihood, are meticulously maintained by the locals, resulting in lush landscapes, especially during harvest season. This period attracts numerous visitors eager to admire the natural beauty and capture unique photographs of the ripe crops.

Lao Chai - Lao Chai Village is located approximately 7 km southeast of Sapa town’s center, nestled in the serene Muong Hoa Valley and surrounded by the majestic Hoang Lien Son Mountain range. It is adjacent to Ta Van Village, another popular tourist destination in Sapa. For those weary of city life, Lao Chai offers a chance to rejuvenate in the peaceful countryside. Visitors can harmonize with nature, leaving behind their worries and troubles.

Ta Van Village - In Ta Van, visitors are enveloped in the picturesque natural scenery, accompanied by the soothing sounds of streams and birds. The village, backed by the Hoang Lien Son Mountain and fronted by Muong Hoa Stream, features houses facing the Northeast.

The Giay people have preserved their unique culture, customs, religion, and festivals for centuries. The day will conclude at a Hmong sister’s house, where a delicious traditional meal will be shared.

In the dialect of the Hmong people, it is often stated “No mountain is too tall for the knees of a Hmong“. Traditionally, Hmong communities have resided high in the mountains, unfazed by even the sharpest of inclines. Even slopes of 70° are scaled with their customary honeycomb sandals. This trek invites you to emulate them and test if you can walk the path of a Hmong. Along the way, our less traveled route promises to gift travelers with gorgeous landscape amidst the Sapa valley, also known as the Muong Hoa valley. You’ll also traverse through primary villages, experiencing the local culture and traditions first-hand.
