Sapa

Some parts of Sapa are well-trodden, but many villages and routes still offer vast wilderness and untamed corners. A 10-day adventure takes in an impressive array of Sapa’s challenges and pleasures. Start with a warm-up walk to Muong Hum Commune, then explore deeper into more indigenous communities such as those of the White Hmong, Dao and Giay. On this trek you’ll wind through some fabulous valleys, mountain peaks with spectacular views and crystal clear streams. A walk to Nam Pung Village is followed by six days of uphill and downhill walks that include the most remote villages, imbued with Sapa’s tribal history. The highlight for many travellers is the homestay, where you can explore the local culinary and cultural traditions.

Four days is all it takes to complete one of the finest hill tribe treks in Vietnam. An unmissable stop is Vietnam’s largest waterfalls, which is also one of the most majestic cascades in Southeast Asia — Ban Gioc Waterfall. The trek takes you past a series of tribal villages of the Tay, Hmong, Nung and Red Dao people, before heading to Pac Bo village. There lies Coc Bo Cave, famed for its involvement in the revolutionary activities that Ho Chi Minh led in early 1941. This comparatively easy walk also affords fascinating views of Ba Be National Park, which is home to plenty of caves, lakes, and ponds, so pack your swimmers.
Ha Giang

The pinnacle of the Ha Giang trek is the ascent to the highest peaks of Dong Van, a border town with a series of awe-inspiring mountain pass and valleys. Several trails run along the mountains from Dong Van to Meo Vac town can be challenging, as they cross many passes and climb several summits. The views, however, are tremendous. At the top of Ma Pi Leng Pass is a panorama of mountain ranges, limestone peaks, and canyons. Then, descend into the beautiful deep valleys dotted with fields and rocky mountains. Make sure to visit the Hmong Palace, which features a traditional Chinese-style mansion with four double-story wings, built by Chinese traders with the consent of French colonial rulers in 1902.
