Meeting a guide at Lao Cai railway station in the early morning we spend an hour driving up hills to Sapa. Checking in a hotel and then we embark on a lovely trek that will take us along buffalo paths and trails and through several hill tribe villages
Lao Chai & Ta Van, home to Black H'mong, and Dzay people. This is an absolutely spectacular walk through stunning scenery inhabited by some
of the friendliest people you can meet.  Once on the valley floor you
can really appreciate the wonderful scenery that surrounds you. The
walls of the valley are covered with multi-layered rice terraced fields and
scattered villages. Return to Sapa by car.
