Leader was originally meant to be a girl called Meg and instead got changed to Adam Case- so glad about this as he was everything we needed in a leader! Made sure we had lots of knowledge and facts about the areas we were staying in, all the hotels were nice and any issues we had were resolved asap. I’m an emotional wreck constantly and Adam kept checking I was okay throughout the trip and if I was ever feeling low he picked up on it and brought me back up. Couldn’t recommend the trip enough- got to see and do so much (the home stay in nihn binh defo my fav jsut wish we had longer here!) :) x

What people love about fully guided tours in sapa.

Danny was very organised and conscientious throughout my whole tour! It was great to have different guides in the various places we visited as they had a lot of personal knowledge from growing up in the area. Cha, our guide in Sapa, was from a local tribe & taught me some of their language, and Guang, our Hanoi guide, was incredibly knowledgeable, interesting and entertaining. My dietary requirements were taken care of in each place, which made things a lot easier too. A wonderful tour overall which gives you a great introduction to the best places in Northern Vietnam!

I was really apprehensive about going on my first solo trip, however, after meeting Bobby on day 1, I knew the trip was going to be great. Bobby is an absolute credit to Intro and to Vietnam. We really hit the jackpot in getting him as a tour guide! He’s caring, kind, patient and fun to be around. He went out of his way to make everyone feel included and comfortable, giving options for additional activities and recommendations in our free time. He also made himself available at all times. Having such a knowledgeable expert of Vietnam history, culture and language just made this trip exceptional. The tour itself was filled with a variety of places and activities. The accommodations were all great and varied making the experience even more unique. This trip is not for the faint hearted. You’re on the go a lot, but in return you see so much of Vietnam.

Our tour with Tourradar was very well organised and because last minute alterations to the tour needed to be made these were handled very well.

Sapa town is situated in the Lao Cai province , in the northwest region of Vietnam. It is located approximately 350 km northwest of Hanoi city and is close to the border with China. Sapa is renowned for its stunning and rugged landscape, as well as its rich cultural heritage and diverse cuisine. In the early 20th century, the French regarded Sapa as the Summer Capital of Northern Vietnam. Since then, Sapa’s natural beauty has continued to attract an increasing number of visitors who choose to spend their vacations there. It is especially popular as a honeymoon destination for couples.

Sapa enjoys a cool climate, making it a suitable destination for year-round travel. However, it’s best to avoid the stormy season from June to early August, as this period can bring about extreme weather conditions like floods, flash floods, and landslides.

From February to May, Sapa blossoms with a vibrant spring season, showcasing a variety of flowers such as cherry apricots, peaches, and plums. During the summer months of June to August, Sapa becomes a popular getaway for tourists seeking respite from the heat. It’s a great time to witness the lush green rice terraces.

Autumn graces Sapa from September to November, offering a picturesque landscape with golden hues from the ripened rice field, and the weather starts to turn cooler. Winter arrives from December to February of the following year, and if you’re fortunate, you may even have the chance to witness snow and ice atop the mountains.

Bus or train

To travel from Hanoi to Sapa, you have a few options available. You can book a limousine or a bus from My Dinh bus station, with prices ranging from 230,000 to 350,000 VND per person, depending on the seat class. The journey typically takes around 5-6 hours.

If you prefer to take the train, you can choose the Hanoi-Lao Cai route. The train ride lasts approximately 7-9 hours, and upon arrival in Lao Cai, you will need to take a bus or taxi to reach the center of Sapa. Train ticket prices vary from 160,000 to 800,000 VND, depending on the seat class and train type.

Alternatively, you can opt to drive to Sapa on your own. Take the Noi Bai-Lao Cai highway and then turn onto 4D road, which will lead you to Sapa. The road is generally easy to navigate, but it’s important to pay attention to road signs and maintain an appropriate speed. Before setting off, make sure to check your tires, brakes, lights, and other essential components, especially during cold rain, fog, or when the roads are slippery. The driving time is approximately 5-6 hours. It is advisable to depart from Hanoi no later than around 12:30 PM to ensure that you reach the mountain pass to Sapa before it gets too dark.

Book a tour from Hanoi

One of the best ways to save energy and effort when planning a trip to Sapa is by booking a tour. By doing so, you won’t have to worry about transportation, food, and accommodation, and you’ll have the opportunity to visit the most prominent travel destinations, which are tailored to be interesting. There are numerous tour providers that can help you arrange a tour from Hanoi to Sapa, but we recommend booking through Klook. Klook is a trusted platform that qualifies and rates its tour providers based on feedback from thousands of tourists, ensuring peace of mind throughout your journey.

Rent a Motorbike

Motorcycles are a popular mode of transportation in Sapa, favored by many tourists. This vehicle allows you the freedom to explore the captivating attractions of this misty town at your own pace and convenience.

Furthermore, motorcycles are an excellent option for adventurous young travelers who are passionate about exploring both picturesque and thrilling roads. It is advisable to travel in a group, ensuring convenience in movement and minimizing the risk of encountering difficulties on the road.

If you don’t have a motorcycle with you, you can rent one from the following locations:

Hire a motorbike taxi

To make your way around Sapa, you can opt for a motorbike taxi service. This is a suitable choice for those who may feel uncertain about navigating on their own. By hiring a motorbike taxi driver, they can serve as your guide, taking you to popular tourist attractions. The rental price for a motorbike taxi typically ranges from 100,000 VND to 150,000 VND for visiting 4-5 attractions located near each other in Sapa.

If you are traveling in a group, another option is to rent a tourist car with 4 to 16 seats. The rental price for such a vehicle ranges from 400,000 VND to 500,000 VND per attraction. Alternatively, you can negotiate a full-day rental. Apart from serving as a motorbike taxi driver, these drivers can also act as guides, providing you with valuable insights about the various places to help you better understand Sapa.

Renting a taxi in Sapa is a convenient option, especially for group or family travel. However, it’s important to note that taxi rental prices in Sapa can be relatively high, and the fare is typically calculated based on the number of destinations, rather than the duration of the rental. Therefore, it’s advisable to inquire about the price beforehand to avoid any surprises.

By renting a taxi, you can have some assurance regarding weather conditions. On the flip side, taxis may have limitations when it comes to venturing deep into the villages, and their access may be restricted to the outer areas.

Trekking in Sapa offers a wonderful combination of walking and exercise while immersing yourself in the majestic beauty of the region. It allows you to explore Sapa without any obstacles holding you back.

However, trekking requires good physical health, so make sure to prepare the necessary items, especially good hiking shoes with arches support to ensure a smooth journey. With this activity, you won’t have to worry about parking or taking care of a vehicle. Additionally, it’s easier to navigate shorter distances and reach nearby destinations on foot.

One great option is to join a trekking day tour specifically tailored for destinations like Cat Cat, Ma Tra, Ta Phin, Cao Chai, and Ta Van.

You can allocate approximately 3 days and 2 nights to exploring the famous attractions in Sapa.

Ham Rong Mountain

Ham Rong Mountain is a popular spot teeming with tourists, offering a mesmerizing and misty landscape. It has a range of elevations, with the lowest point at 1,450m and the highest point exceeding 1,800m. From the mountain’s summit, you can enjoy panoramic views of Sapa’s notable tourist destinations such as Muong Hoa Valley, Ta Van Village, and Cat Cat Village.

Ham Rong Mountain is an ideal place for a picnic, combining dining, shopping, and sightseeing, as numerous shops and beautiful flower gardens line the way up the mountain. The entrance fee for Ham Rong Mountain tourist area is 70,000 VND for adults and 30,000 VND for children.

Sapa Stone Church

Following your visit to Ham Rong Mountain, you can return to the town center, not far away, to explore Sapa Stone Church. This architectural gem holds symbolic significance for the mountainous town and was initiated in 1895. The church, designed in Gothic style, features elements like a cross-shaped structure, arched doorways, and a bell tower, all showcasing exquisite craftsmanship.

Cat Cat Village

Situated just 2 km from the center of Sapa, Cat Cat Village offers the choice of trekking or motorbiking to reach its serene Hmong community. The village proudly preserves various customs and traditional crafts, including weaving, silver carving, and jewelry making.

The journey to the village is picturesque, with winding roads flanked by terraced fields and ethnic dwellings.

Lao Chai – Ta Van

To reach Ta Van, located approximately 10 km from the town, you can opt for a motorbike, taxi, or trekking. The road leading to Lao Chai – Ta Van is narrow, enveloped by the soothing green hues of rice and corn terraces. Although it is no longer entirely untouched, Lao Chai – Ta Van maintains its peaceful ambiance and is inhabited by various ethnic minorities , including the Mong, Dao, and Giay.

The captivating feature here, apart from the local ethnic life, is the sprawling terraced fields that adorn the hillsides, which we already listed in the top places to watch golden rice fields in Vietnam . Late summer is a particularly enchanting time as the rice ripens, painting the entire mountainous area in a golden hue. If you have ample time, it is recommended to spend a day here to immerse yourself in the local way of life. The entrance fee to the area is 70,000 VND per person.

Fansipan Peak

For a less strenuous ascent to the highest peak of Fansipan mountain , you can take advantage of the cable car and mountain train. In the morning, head to the mountain railway station across from Sapa town square to purchase tickets. The cable car ticket costs 715,000 VND per adult and 525,000 VND per child, while the mountain train ticket is priced at 99,000 VND per person.

PREBOOK YOUR CABLE CAR & TRAIN TICKETS TO AVOID PEAK TIME

To reach the summit of Fansipan, follow the route of the mountain train and cable car, then proceed with either another train ride or a walk up 600 steps. Each leg of the train journey lasts approximately 6-7 minutes, while the cable car ride takes around 30 minutes. Walking enthusiasts can leisurely ascend the stairs and explore the spiritual complex on Fansipan, which features attractions like Kim Son Bao Thang Pagoda, an 11-storey tower, and the largest bronze statue of Amitabha Buddha in Vietnam.

At the cable car and mountain train stations, you’ll find stalls selling souvenirs and restaurants catering to the shopping and dining needs of visitors. It is advisable to wear comfortable shoes with low heels and bring a jacket, raincoat, or umbrella in case the weather at the mountain peak suddenly becomes chilly and overcast.

This picturesque attraction, known as Swing Sapa, is situated at 87 Nguyen Chi Thanh, near the town center, approximately 2 km from the Stone Church in the direction of the cable car.

Featuring captivating sculptures such as a man and woman statue, a giant stone hand, a Buddha statue, the “stairway to heaven,” and swings, Swing Sapa offers countless photo opportunities with its unique settings.

Prior to visiting, it is recommended to prepare your own photo props, or you can rent them on-site for 50,000 VND per set. Ensure that your camera and phone batteries are fully charged. If traveling with a group, you can even organize a camping trip or a small picnic in this area. The entrance fee is 80,000 VND per person.

Seo My Ty Lake

To reach Seo My Ty Lake, located in Ta Van commune, you must traverse a challenging 20 km road filled with large and small stones, making it quite difficult for inexperienced drivers. The lake was formed by constructing a dam for the Seo My Ty hydropower plant, and it holds the distinction of being the highest artificial lake in Vietnam. When viewed from above, the lake resembles a silk ribbon running alongside the Hoang Lien Son mountain range. Visitors can seek permission from local fishermen to sit on boats and rafts, enjoying the lake’s beauty and learning about salmon farming practices in the area.

Heaven’s Gate

From the center of Sapa, follow Highway 4D for approximately 15 km to reach Heaven’s Gate, situated at the highest point of the O Quy Ho pass. Standing here, you can marvel at the panoramic view of the vast valley below, adorned with terraced fields and winding roads. Several newly built establishments such as restaurants, cafes, and hotels can be found at Heaven’s Gate. Admission to Heaven’s Gate is priced at 80,000 VND per person and includes a drink.

O Quy Ho Pass

O Quy Ho Pass, known as the “King of the Passes,” features a deep valley on one side and rugged cliffs on the other. Stretching for about 50 km, it connects the provinces of Lao Cai and Lai Chau. For those seeking great photo opportunities, it is recommended to visit O Quy Ho Pass around sunset, between 17:00 and 17:30. As the sun gradually sets behind the mountains, the entire pass is bathed in a mesmerizing golden hue. However, Sapa’s weather can change rapidly, with dark clouds often rolling in just minutes after sunset.

Along the road to Silver Waterfall and Love Waterfall, you’ll find numerous stalls selling local specialties, food, and drinks, providing seating for weary travelers. When visiting O Quy Ho Pass, it is advisable to bring a raincoat and warm clothing. If traveling by motorbike, remember to wear a helmet and exercise caution on the winding roads.

Silver Waterfall – Love Waterfall

Located on the road of O Quy Ho Pass, approximately 3 km from the pass’s summit, Silver Waterfall and Love Waterfall are must-visit destinations, particularly popular among young people. Silver Waterfall features steps leading to the top of the waterfall, but be cautious as the higher you climb, the colder it gets and the water flow becomes stronger, making it important to watch your step to avoid slipping. Love Waterfall, although a 1.5 km walk from the entrance, takes visitors through a scenic forested area. Admission to Silver Waterfall is priced at 20,000 VND per person, while Love Waterfall tickets cost 75,000 VND per person.

Grilled food & hot pot

When visiting Sapa, indulging in grilled food is a must as it is a ubiquitous dish with a wide variety of options. You can enjoy skewers of pork, chicken, and vegetables, as well as grilled eggs, corn, potatoes, and lam rice. The prices for these delicious barbecue items range from 20,000 to 100,000 VND each. Another popular choice is salmon and sturgeon, which can be enjoyed in hot pot dishes or even raw. A hot pot typically costs between 300,000 and 600,000 VND and is suitable for 3 to 6 people to share.

Sapa: Your Essential Guide + How to Ditch the Crowds [2024]

Secret trails, homestay adventures, & local vibes.

Sapa is Vietnam's most popular spot (other than Halong Bay!) for a reason – stunning views, easy for all ages, and most locals speak English. It's crowded, but worth a visit for its unique mix of nature, hill tribe communities, and social impact.

TLDR: For a less-crowded Sapa experience? Check out nearby Sin Suoi Ho village for a glimpse of how Sapa used to be. If that's too far then just do a homestay + private trek to avoid the mega touristy hotspots.

Is Sapa Worth Visiting?

Sapa's a must-visit if you want breathtaking rice paddies, easygoing hikes, and a chance to experience Vietnam's diverse ethnic groups. Be prepared for crowds though, as it's a popular backpacker spot.

What makes Sapa truly special to us is how it empowers local women. Traditionally in the H'mong hill tribe, women were homemakers, but tourism has flipped that! Women here are your guides and shopkeepers, breaking traditional roles and gaining a stronger voice in their community. Just by visiting Sapa, you are giving local women a voice in a predominantly patriarchal society! 

Getting There

The closest international airport to Sapa is in Hanoi. You can reach Sapa from Hanoi by various means , with the most common options being sleeper buses and trains.

• Bus: To get from Hanoi to Sapa, many travelers choose the overnight sleeper bus , which takes about 6-7 hours and costs around $10 USD for a one-way ticket. These buses are quite comfortable for sleeping, and many of them have reclining chairs . Most people take the 10 pm bus from Hanoi, arriving in Sapa Town around 4 am. You're allowed to stay on the bus until about 6 am, which is perfect timing because many trekking tours start around 7 or 8 am!
• Train: For a more comfortable journey with a better night's sleep, we'd recommend the night train. All the train companies basically operate different cabins on the same train. So although you're booking with different train companies, you'll actually be on the same train. Take Chapa Express for a more premium experience. The night train departs from Hanoi train station at 10 pm, arriving at Lao Cai train station, where you'll then hop on a shuttle bus to reach Sapa Town by 7 am. This option allows you to maximize your time and start exploring as soon as you arrive.
• Private car : If you're looking for a private journey, you can also take a car. It's 5.5 hours each way to get to Sapa, and you can also make it a road trip and visit other places along the way!

Best Time to Go

• Best: Our favourite time to visit Sapa is during autumn in September and October, because that’s when the rice fields turn a beautiful golden yellow and farmers begin harvesting. The weather during this period is also great for trekking.
• Good but Touristy: If you want green, go to Sapa in June when the rice fields turn an amazing lush green colour. But this is also the busiest period with lots of domestic travellers. Summer is also the rainy season, so be prepared for sudden storms.
• Avoid: If you want to do a homestay, avoid winter in Sapa (December - January) as it gets very foggy and cold. The homestays are very basic with no heating, so it may not be the most comfortable!

Things to Do in Sapa

1. hike iconic rice terraces.

You can explore Sapa's rice paddies with a one-day tour from Sapa town, or opt for a deeper experience with a 2-3 day trek and homestay. Treks offer stunning scenery – rice terraces, waterfalls, bamboo forests – and a chance to connect with local ethnic communities.

While the scenery is beautiful, it's the heartfelt interactions with the hill tribes that make Sapa trekking truly special. It's a simpler way of life, and full of heart.

• Be aware that day tours can be mega-touristy, often visiting the same spots like Cat Cat village. To experience the rice fields in a more authentic way, consider a homestay or a private day trek where you can request quieter routes.
• Support local social enterprises by choosing trekking companies that empower local communities and offer a more responsible tourism experience.

2. Enjoy a Local Homestay 

We’d highly recommend spending at least a night in a homestay because it’s the best way to experience Sapa. Not only will you get to explore more hidden routes, you’ll also get to enjoy home-cooked meals and really get to immerse in the warm hospitality of Sapa. 

We’d go as far to say that you haven’t really experienced Sapa unless you’ve done a homestay, because that’s by far the best bit of Sapa!

3. See the Hidden Sapa that No One Knows

If you're looking for the real Sapa, this is it. Just a short drive from the tourist crowds of Sapa town, Sin Suoi Ho offers equally stunning views, a powerful story of resilience, and a peaceful, uncrowded atmosphere. Sin Suoi Ho feels untouched by time, offering the Sapa experience of years ago – pristine rice terraces, cascading waterfalls, and peaceful village life. But beyond its beauty, this village has a remarkable story. Once struggling with opium addiction, Sin Suoi Ho chose a different path. Through determination and a shift towards sustainable agriculture and tourism, the village has built a brighter future. Guesthouses are cozy and clean, and while a bit further than Sapa, Sin Suoi Ho rewards visitors with a truly authentic experience and a chance to support a community that overcame hardship. Your homestay can likely arrange transport from Sapa Town.

4. Climb Mount Fansipan 

Sapa is also home to Mount Fansipan , Indochina’s highest peak! There are a few ways to climb Mount Fansipan: climb with overnight camping; a day climb , or pair a Fansipan climb with a homestay and rice terrace trek. Pro Tips:

• Fansipan is seriously tough! It's harder than Mt. Kinabalu and meant for experienced hikers who enjoy a challenge. Ascending takes 5-7 hours, and has boulders and ladders!
• The summit is often foggy, so don't climb just for the views. Focus on enjoying the journey itself.
• Climbing down is brutal. Opt for the cable car descent to save your knees. 

5. Visit cosy cafes in Sapa Town

Before leaving Sapa, be sure to spend a few hours in Sapa Town and popping by a few local cafes. One of our favourites is Gem Valley, and is known to have the best views in Sapa. Enjoy a banana pancake, drink some Vietnamese coffee and have one last look at the beautiful Sapa scenery before heading back to Hanoi. Another cosy place that trendy locals love is Color Bar. This cosy and hip place has a selection of exciting and yummy cocktails. 10/10 for ambience too!

6. Learn about Indigenous Crafts

If you want to learn more about indigenous culture, start with the fascinating traditions of the Black Hmong people. Here, you’ll learn about the indigo dyeing and cloth-making traditions of this vibrant community. It is perfect for those looking to understand more about the local culture, and traditional crafts that are fast disappearing.

7. Try a Red Dao Herbal Bath 

One of our favourite things about Sapa is being able to experience the way various ethnic communities live, and the Red Dao community is particularly fascinating. We'd highly recommend trying out the Red Dao herbal bath which is steeped in tradition.

The Red Dao community have been using medicinal plants for their baths for generations, with each family passing down their own unique recipe. It's not just relaxing; it can do wonders for tired muscles and has a bit of that magical touch to it! Plus, taking part in this tradition makes you feel a little more connected with the local culture.

8. Support a Social Enterprise 

Trek with a social enterprise in Sapa to directly support local communities. These organizations empower H'mong youth by funding education, providing hospitality training, and creating fair job opportunities. While slightly pricier, the knowledge that your adventure makes a lasting impact is worth every penny.

9. Visit a Local Market

Sapa and its surrounds has lots of local markets, so if you're looking for souvenirs or you just love markets, you may like to visit.

Traditionally markets are not just for locals to trade at, but they're important social places for locals to gather and find love. While the main market in Sapa Town is now very touristy, you can find some fascinating, colourful markets further out. Here are some of the main ones from most touristy to least.

• Sapa Market (Every Day, in Sapa Town) : this two-story traditional market is right in Sapa Town and opens daily. You can get all sorts of cheap souvenirs here, as well as fruits and vegetables. It's generally quiet Monday through Friday. Saturday mornings are somewhat busy, but Sunday morning is the big market day when the Black Hmong people from the furthest reaches of the district come to trade. It's not super special but it's fun to come on Sunday mornings to see the buzz of local activity.
• Bac Ha Market (Sunday mornings, 100km from Sapa Town): This is the largest market in the area, and has become more touristed in recent years. It's a great place for people watching as ethnic communities come from all around the area, and try local market food. But watch out for over-inflated tourist prices, and some degree of hassle!
• Can Cau Market (Saturday morning, 120km from Sapa Town) : If you want a really local experience, this is probably it. There are far fewer tourists here, and it's really fun to people watch and just take in the buzz. You may not find much to buy here as it's mainly local household goods (e.g. fresh produce, livestock, farming equipment, and clothing), but it's a fun adventure.

1. Pack light

• Bring a backpack: For homestays, ditch the luggage and bring a backpack – it'll be way easier on steep hills. Motorbike rides can accommodate backpacks if needed (up to 60L in front with a smaller one on your back). If you're doing a day trek, the guides will let you drop your bags at their office.
• Good shoes: Trekking shoes with good grip are essential for safety, and bring lightweight, water-resistant clothes for Sapa's cool and often foggy weather.
• Bring layers ! Layer up for winter, as it gets cold but you'll still sweat while trekking. Layers are also necessary for Fansipan!

2. Homestays are a must - but don't expect fancy!

Homestays are a must in Sapa! Having experienced both Sapa town and homestays, we can safely say that homestays let you truly connect with the heart of Sapa.

• Don't expect anything fancy. You'll have proper (non-squat!) toilets and showers, but expect simple sleeping arrangements with mattresses and no air conditioning or heating.
• Pack for cold! If visiting in winter (December-February), layers are essential as there's no heating. We wore 4 layers!
• Spring to Autumn stays will be pleasantly cool (averaging at around 25°C/77°F in July).
• A headlamp or flashlight is useful for navigating at night.

3. Do buy local crafts to support the local community

We don't usually go for touristy souvenirs, but Sapa is an exception. The beautiful handmade embroidery sold by Hmong women is a vital source of income for their families. You'll likely encounter these friendly women on treks, where they offer both assistance and their wares. Each piece takes days to create and costs less than $10 USD. While there's no pressure to buy, consider supporting these artisans and their families if you can!

4. To avoid the crowds, do a private trek

If you prefer a quieter experience and want to enjoy stunning views without the crowds, you might consider visiting Sin Suoi Hoi nearby, or take a private guide and request to go to less-touristed spots. 

Frequently Asked Questions

How many days is enough for sapa.

Most travellers come to Sapa for 2-3 days. We’d highly recommend spending at least 3 days here. If you'd like to visit a local market or go to Sin Suoi Ho, stay for an extra day! It'll be worth it because you'll get to see a side of Sapa that few travellers have seen.

• Day 1: Arrive in Sapa town from Hanoi in the morning. Spend the rest of your day wandering about Sapa town and the little cafes here. Spend the night in Sapa town. 
• Day 2: Start your 2D1N trekking and homestay trip in Sapa valley. Take the ones that go a bit further away from the tourist trails so you can really appreciate the beauty of Sapa away from the crowds. Overnight at a homestay. 
• Day 3: Explore rice paddies, local villages and enjoy the warm hospitality of the Sapa peoples. Finish your adventure at 8:30pm in the evening. Take a sleeper bus to Hanoi back at 10pm.

What is the weather like in Sapa?

The weather in Sapa, Vietnam, varies depending on the season though you can generally expect some level of fog!

• Spring (March to May): Spring in Sapa has mild temperatures and blooming landscapes. It's a great time to visit for trekking and enjoying the lush green scenery.
• Summer (June to August): Sapa's summer is warm and wet, with occasional heavy rains. While the temperatures are relatively high, it can get quite foggy. This season is ideal for those who enjoy the vibrant, green rice terraces.
