SAPA TOURS
Located north of Vietnam, Sapa has become the trekking capital of Vietnam with thousands of visitors arriving each year to explore this mountainous region. Home to many ethnic minorities, the biggest being the Black Hmong people, you’ll no doubt be struck by their colorful handicrafts.
Our trekking tours take you through numerous villages, gaining a glimpse into the lives of different ethnic communities. A mix of unique cultures and beautiful scenery, our tour of Sapa is highly recommended.
With such an increase in visitor numbers, YESD takes pride in offering tours that adhere to its Responsible Tourism Guidelines and actively assist disadvantaged people in the area.
