Nestled in the Hoang Lien Mountains of north-western Vietnam, the popular market town of Sapa was originally built as a hill-station by the French in 1922. Dominated by the Fansipan mountain range beyond, Sapa is perfectly placed to offer some of the best trekking opportunities in Vietnam. The high altitude also makes for more comfortable temperatures during the hotter summer months. It is possible to arrange any length of walk from a short half day stroll through the rice paddies to longer treks for a week or longer taking you from village to village. Even short hikes offer the chance to get away from the bustle of town life, and provide an insight into a totally different side of Vietnam.
