Sapa Vandring

Denne trekkingtur langs Muong Hoa-dalen i Sapa i det nordlige Vietnam, guidet af en lokal, var en uforglemmelig oplevelse, hvor jeg kunne opleve den betagende og storslåede natur ad jordveje og rismarker på terrasser. Vores lokale guide, Mai, var utrolig venlig og professionel. Med sit flydende engelsk gav hun os vidunderlige forklaringer om de landsbyer og landskaber, vi kom igennem, samtidig med at hun kyndigt ledede vores lille, multinationale gruppe. Måltidet, der blev serveret på den lokale restaurant, var også ret anstændigt og tilfredsstillende. Trekkingruten er så usædvanligt godt tilrettelagt, at jeg varmt vil anbefale at deltage i denne tur, hvis I besøger Sapa. Jeg vil give en høj karakter og min dybeste taknemmelighed til vores lokale guide, Mai, for hendes fantastiske lederskab!

Khu var en absolut fantastisk guide på vores tur til Cat Cat Village. At lære om den lokale Hmong-historie, traditionelle tøj og landsbyliv direkte fra en person med så stor passion gjorde hele turen så meget mere speciel. Hun sørgede for, at alle var tilpasse under hele gåturen, og gav gode tips undervejs. Tak, Khu, for en uforglemmelig dag!

Det var en fantastisk oplevelse, og hele turen er det hele værd. Men sørg for at have passende tøj på, da vejret til tider kan være varmt (da vi afsted var det en solskinsdag), samt ordentlige gå- eller vandresko, da noget af terrænet kræver godt vejgreb og byder på en del ned ad bakke på bestemte strækninger. Alt i alt en anderledes oplevelse. Og hvis du ikke kan klare den halve vej, kan du sige det til guiden, som vil arrangere transport tilbage til dit hotel. Der er ikke inkluderet frokost. Guiden var super venlig og sjov.

Alt var perfekt, og vi fik en større forståelse for og indblik i byen. Rejselederen forklarede alt så godt og viste byens vigtigste seværdigheder. Jeg er så taknemmelig for hele oplevelsen og middagen bagefter samt for den omsorg og opmærksomhed, der blev vist.

We did the 2 day 3 night Ha Giang loop motorcycle tour, the tour was lead by Dai (Big Mouse) supported by his friendly and helpful team. The bikes were well maintained and ideally suited for the terrain. The scenery was spectacular, but we also visited a castle took a boat trip which added an unexpected bonus to our trip. We met some lovely people and made some fantastic memories. Without question I would recommend this trip.

scenery: Awesome, going through the paddy and corn fields, Village to village. We are lucky some lady is working on her paddy field so I have good shot. difficulty of the hike: Easy hike but the downhill is actually quite steep. Our hiking day is shine bright but not freaking hot. Track is dry, not muddy so it was easy. It surely will be slippery downhill if it's muddy guide: Different guide texted night before and another texted me in the morning. They change our guide but both of them is friendly and easy to communicate. itinerary: We take this so no need to go find lunch after coming back. And food is simple but good. mostly vegetarian, and only chicken. Drinks is separate but the price is cheap and reasonable. The only things I'm a bit annoyed is how persistent the village kids/lady trying to sell things. Try help a bit and 10more coming. Nego until satisfied coz their opening price is scam. I bought from the lady that help me during hike, consider as her tips so it's fine.

Climbing through the steep bamboo forest while the guides personally foraged for various herbs and explained their medicinal properties in detail was a wonderful experience. Walking along the ridge after passing through the forest trail—taking in the terraced rice fields unfolding below and the magnificent scenery of nature created by the passing mist across the valley—felt like the greatest gift. ​Upon arriving at the village, it was fascinating to witness the process of boiling the freshly gathered herbs over a firewood fire to create a foot-soaking spa. Communicating with the friendly guides also offered a wonderful glimpse into the daily lives of the ethnic minority people. I highly rate the well-designed trekking course and the guides' deep knowledge and hands-on experience with local herbs.
