An unforgettable experience to stay with a local family and learn about our traditional culture.
Here are the details:
Itinerary
Day I: Sapa - Y Linh Ho - Lao Chai - Ta Van (9-11km, ~5.5 hours)
• The tour starts at 9:00 AM. I will meet you at your hotel in Sapa Town or in front of the local main church.
• After a brief introduction, we'll leave Sapa and trek down to Y Linh Ho village, passing beautiful landscapes along the way.
• We will stop for lunch at a small, traditional restaurant run by a local Hmong family.
• After lunch, we continue to Lao Chai, one of the oldest and largest Hmong villages in the area.
• From there, we trek to Ta Van Village, home to the Giay and Hmong ethnic minorities. Depending on the season, you may see locals planting or harvesting rice. Along the way, I will share insights into the cultural differences between ethnic groups.
• Upon arriving at my family's homestay, you'll have time to rest, take a hot shower, and relax.
• In the evening, you can join an informal cooking class with my family to prepare a traditional dinner.
• During dinner, I will share my story about supporting 10 local children's education, and my students will perform a traditional dance to welcome you! You'll also get to play with the kids, enjoy some fun drinking games with
“Happy Water” (local rice wine), and experience an authentic Hmong-style evening.

DAY 2 : Ta Van - Giang Ta Chai - Sapa (7-8 km, ~4 hours)
• Start the morning with a cup of hot coffee or tea while enjoying the peaceful surroundings of the homestay.
• After breakfast, we'll trek through bamboo forests and terraced rice fields, leading to the beautiful waterfalls of Giang Ta Chai.
• If you'd like, you can swim in the cool waterfall, a refreshing experience in the middle of nature!
• We will then enter the Red Dao ethnic area before making our way to the main road.
• Enjoy a final lunch before taking a taxi back to Sapa.
• The tour will end between 2:00 - 3:30 PM. You can book bus back from 4pm
