Day 1: Sapa Motorbike Tour Plus Homestay to Villages from Hanoi: Sapa – Sau Chua – Muong Hoa – Bai Da Co – Lao Chai – Ta Van (breakfast, lunch)
Morning arrival in Sapa, we rest for breakfast and pick up a motorbike to explore the villages around Sapa
Ban Sau Chua is considered to be the Northwest Cinderella. On a sunny day, you will see rays of sunlight piercing through clouds. On a cloudy day, the top of the scene was even more beautiful. This is truly a memorable experience where you will admire a beautiful rose garden like paradise. This is also the destination for couples’ wedding photography. Muong Hoa valley is located in Hau Thao commune, about 8km southeast from Sapatown. The special thing in this valley is the ancient rocky beach with many different engravings, lying between grass, trees and terraced fields of ethnic minorities. Hundreds of sandstone stones are engraved with strange drawings and characters that have yet to determine the origin and meaning. In Muong Hoa valley, there is also a beautiful small stream stretching for about 15 km, passing through Lao Chai, Ta Van, Hau Thao communes and ending at Ban Ho.
Lunch in Ta Van village
In the afternoon, we visit Seo Ty Ty – a peaceful place under the Hoang Lien Son mountain range. This is a new land that still retains the characteristics of the Mong village in Sapa with the roof of pompat wood, the terraced fields winding around the tallest artificial lake in Indochina, the peach trees. Plum trees, vegetable gardens, herds of cattle make you feel incredibly peaceful.
It is impossible to ignore Lao Chai village – the residence of H’Mong, Dao, Tay, Giay ethnic groups… each has its own cultural color that creates unique cultures. Coming to Lao Chai in the early spring, visitors have the opportunity to lose themselves in the bright pink color of the cherry blossoms, the pristine white color of the plum blossoms and immerse in the vibrant atmosphere in the unique festivals of indigenous people such as Roong Po festival of Giay people, Tay festival in fields …
If the time and weather conditions permit, we have the opportunity to explore or stop at some villages to learn about the cultural life here.
Dinner and overnight at Ta Van village
