Sapa HomeStay Trekking Tour 2 days

The combination of fresh mountain air, relaxed ambience, sweeping panoramas and fascinating hill tribes make Sapa a most-wanted destination. Adventure travel activities into variety of ethnic minority groups generally retaining their lifestyle, traditional costume with high mountains, deep ravines and terraced fields will excite our spirit of adventure. The adventurous trek takes us deep into a hill tribe region where tourists are still something of a novelty. Staying in local family house at nice village will allows us to experience, at first hand, a lifestyle that has been little touched by the modern world and a curiosity from our hosts just as great as our own. The trekking is fairly strenuous at times but the spectacular scenery and sense of adventure make this an outstanding trek.
