3-Day Trekking Tour in Ta Van Village Sapa

3 days (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English

Unlike standard group treks, this 3-day Sapa experience is designed for travelers who want more than just sightseeing. You won’t simply walk through villages—you’ll live alongside local families, share home-cooked meals, and learn about the unique cultures of the Hmong, Dzay, and Red Dao people.

Our routes are carefully chosen to combine famous highlights like Muong Hoa Valley and bamboo forests with less-visited gems such as Lao Chai San, where you can experience village life without the crowds. With the guidance of an experienced local, you’ll hear personal stories, discover traditional farming and handicraft practices, and enjoy a journey that feels authentic and personal.

Small-group or private options ensure a more intimate experience, giving you time to connect with locals and explore at your own pace. This is more than a trek—it’s a chance to create meaningful memories in the heart of Northern Vietnam.
