Sapa Caminhada

Esta trilha pelo Vale de Muong Hoa em Sapa, no norte do Vietnã, guiada por uma moradora local, foi uma experiência inesquecível onde pude apreciar a deslumbrante grandiosidade da natureza por caminhos de terra e campos de arroz em terraços. Nossa guia local, Mai, foi incrivelmente gentil e profissional. Com seu inglês fluente, ela nos deu ótimas explicações sobre as vilas e paisagens pelas quais passamos, enquanto liderava com maestria nosso pequeno grupo multinacional. A refeição servida no restaurante local também foi muito boa e satisfatória. O percurso da trilha é excepcionalmente bem planejado, de modo que recomendo fortemente participar deste passeio se você visitar Sapa. Quero dar uma nota alta e minha mais profunda gratidão à nossa guia local, Mai, por sua liderança fantástica!

Khu was an absolutely fantastic guide for our trip to Cat Cat Village. Learning about the local Hmong history, traditional clothing, and village life directly from someone so passionate made the whole trip so much more special. She made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the walk and gave great tips along the way. Thank you Khu for an unforgettable day!

It's was a great experience and the entire journey is worth. But make sure to have proper attire as the weather can be hot at times (when we went it was sunny day) and proper walking/hiking shoes as some of the terrains need proper grip and a lot downhill at certain point. Overall a different experience. And if you can't go halfway, can let know the guide and she will arrange transport back to your hotel. No lunch is provided. The guide was super friendly and fun.

Tudo estava perfeito, e conseguimos entender e aprender mais sobre a cidade. O guia turístico explicou tudo muito bem, mostrando os aspectos mais importantes da cidade. Sou muito grato pela experiência completa e pelo jantar logo depois, assim como pelo cuidado e atenção dedicados.

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.
