Sapa Muong Hoa Valley Trek through Lao Chai and Ta Van Villages

This day walk starts in Sapa town and follows trails and village paths down into the Muong Hoa valley, with terraced rice fields stepping down the slopes all around. Your guide, often from one of the local communities, explains how the terraces are farmed and how life in the villages changes through the seasons.

The route passes through the Hmong village of Lao Chai and on to Ta Van, home to Giay families, where lunch is served. A car brings you back up to Sapa in the afternoon, so you only walk downhill and along the valley.
