TRIP ITINERARY

Day 1: Sapa - Cat Cat - Y Linh Ho - Lao Chai - Ta Van (15KM)

Your guide will meet you at your hotel in Sapa at 9AM. You’ll start the day with a walk around Sapa town, popping into the local market, the old cathedral, and meeting some of the local ethnic minority people.

We’ll then begin the journey through Muong Hoa Valley. You’ll get to explore Cat Cat Village, Linh Ho Commune and Lao Chai Village, home to the H’mong people.

After a local lunch, we’ll continue hiking to Ta Van Village, where you will stay with a Giay family. Here you will have the opportunity to learn about their daily life and customs.

For dinner, your guide and host family will guide you through the cooking process so you can learn how to cook some Vietnamese food. After dinner, you will have free time and can get to know your hosts.

Day 2: Ta Van - Giang Ta Chai - Su Pan - Ban Ho (16KM)

After breakfast, we start uphill, passing by rice fields and small villages. We’ll enter a bamboo forest and take a break at a nearby waterfall, then head towards Giang Ta Chai Village. This village is home to the Red Zao people and sits on top of a hill, looking down to the Muong Hoa River. We’ll then continue to Su Pan Village and visit the local handicraft centre, where both H’mong and Zao artisans work.

Lunch will be eaten nearby and we’ll have time for a well deserved break. When you are ready, we’ll continue the trek to Ban Ho Village for an overnight stay with a Tay family. The family will make you dinner and if you like, you can try some ‘Happy Water’!

Day 3: Ban Ho - Nam Toong - Sapa (11KM)

On your last day, we’ll make a short trip to the remote Nam Toong village of the Red Dao people. Here you will learn about their unique customs and explore the village. If the weather is good, there will be time for a swim before heading back to the homestay for lunch.

After lunch, it is time to head back to Sapa. The tour ends here, but if you plan to head back to Hanoi on the night train, or by bus, we can help arrange this.

    Ha Chiang loop for an old boy

    Well what can I say about my Ha Chiang loop trip I did with Yesd. They were excellent from start to finish. As a 54 year old man I did the loop solo with my driver Chinh as I wanted to avoid the happy water and karaoke aspect. Chinh understood this perfectly and took me on a fabulous trip. We took local routes when he could, avoiding some of main routes. He kept ahead of the ‘Mongolian army’ as he called the throngs of other loopers and often arrived at view points before they arrived …

    A memory for life

    An amazing experience! Incredible guides! You almost feel privileged compared to other groups. The accommodation is top-notch; the house, the welcome, the meals—everything is perfect. The mountain trek is magical, the motorbike trek is insane (beware of sore bums by the end!), incredible views the whole time, and super enriching stories. It really puts things into perspective compared to our European comforts—it feels great! To conclude this review, thank you again to the entire YESD Travel team; they are truly wonderful people.

A portion of the profits also directly go back to supporting the communities and local infrastructure.
