“We had a fantastic time around Sapa with TrekkingSapa. We spent 2 days trekking with Sinh who is a local guide and had the opportunity to spend the night in a nice homestay. The trek was beautiful and we learned so much about local traditions from Sinh his-self who was a perfect guide with fantastic English.
Prior to setting out, we were given a brief cultural overview of the H’mong and other tribes in Vietnam and throughout the trip, we learned so much about their traditions and challenges that they face. We have learned so much which is what travel should all be about.“

The custom of Hmong people
If anyone first come to Cat Cat Village, many people do not know that there is a special custom that is pulling his wife. When a boy acquainted and fell in love with a girl, he will organize a party to invite his friends and ask you to plan to “pull” the girl unexpectedly, holding her for three days. Then, if the girl agrees to be the wife of the boys then will conduct the official wedding ceremony. If she refuses, they drink a glass of wine together and everything goes back to normal as if nothing had happened. H’mong wedding in Cat Cat is usually held from 2 to 7 days.
Sapa tours will be even more complete when you have these experiences. Come to Sapa after the hard working days of the noisy city. Wish you have the most meaningful Sapa trip.
