“We did two days treks with TrekkingSapa. They were completely manageable for all of us. Our guides were very patient and understanding, They allowed time for stopping and playing in a river. Hanging out at the TrekkingSapa office was great as well – Hung is welcoming and comfortable. We absolutely recommend trekkingSapa for everybody. You won’t regret it!”

Sapa Trekking
You know, there’s no second place in Vietnam that you can find such amazingly beautiful and unique landscapes like Sapa. This destination is absolutely a perfect place for trekking lovers, who like to enjoy a slow, meaningful and full of surprise life.
If you’re afraid whether it can be too hard to make a trekking tour to such a primitive and undiscovered Sapa, don’t worry, we divided all the trekking tours into 3 levels: easy, medium and hard. Up to your experiences and passion, you can choose which level suits you the most, so that you can really enjoy your trip.
Here we have compiled a few tips for your Sapa trekking tour:
- Hire a guide: There are full-day hikes and even half-day hikes (like Cat Cat Village) which you may want to attempt on your own, however, if you want to spend a few days experiencing the hillside we would recommend hiring a local guide who is familiar with the terrain, the changes in weather, and the best lookout spots.
- Pack light: In our personal experience, towels and bedding were not necessary. The accommodations arranged by our tour were at a small family-run guesthouse. wet was a bit of an open-concept with lots of mattresses lined side by side and a mosquito net over the top, but we had clean bed sheets, warm blankets for the night, and fresh towels.
- And lastly, don’t forget your camera: The scenery in Sapa and the surrounding region is stunning so you’ll want to make sure you bring your camera and that the battery is fully charged.
