For typically leisure trips

If you are in a leisure trip in which everything is taken care of the travel agencies and tour guide, all you need to bring is your own personal stuff. In comparison to Hanoi and other tourism destinations in Northern Vietnam, Sapa is colder, with the temperature around 13-15oC. Consequently, do not forget to bring some long sleeve shirts in summer; and warm coat in winter, as it may even snow in this season.

In hot season, it is really easy to get sunburn so suntan cream, hat and umbrella are indispensable items. The road leading to Sapa from Lao Cai Station is quite bumpy, so bring some motion sickness medicines if you are not familiar with slopes and mountain pass.
