Sapa Pagha-hiking

Huge thank you to Pang for an unforgettable trip through Muong Hoa Valley! Her knowledge of the area and culture is top-notch, and her warm personality made the whole day feel so special. Thank you for being such an amazing guide!

Ito ay isang masaya at di malilimutang karanasan. Ang aming tour guide na si Pam ay napaka-accommodating at madaling lapitan. Ang isang tour na may karagdagang kaalaman kung paano sila nagtatahi at nagtitina ng mga damit ay isang magandang karanasan! Ang pagkakaroon ng pagkakataong maranasan ang kultura at tradisyonal na pananamit ng Vietnam ang pinakamagandang bahagi ng tour. Bukod pa rito, ang rainbow ride at trekking ay masaya para sa akin. Kung may pagkakataon kang makahingi ng tour guide, isaalang-alang si Pam, siya ay mabait at napakapalakaibigan!

it was a very beautiful one of a kind experience! liked the sceneries, knowing the culture of vietnamese locals and cant forget the hospitality of pan, especially when i told her that i havemt eaten pumpkin flower for a long time. we were given options which way to go and we chose the harder one, and indeed made me sore tje following day.

Everything was perfect, and we could understand and learn more about the city. The tour guide explained everything so well, showing the most important aspects of the city. I am so grateful for the full experience and dinner afterward, as well as for the care and attention provided.

Napakagaling na gabay, isa sa mga pinakamahiwagang karanasan na naranasan ko sa Vietnam! Ang gabay, ang tour, ang ruta, lahat! Gustung-gusto ko talaga ito.

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.

Nasiyahan kami sa aming oras kasama si May. Iniayon niya ang lakad batay sa aming kakayahan (marami kaming pahinga, kailangan ko ang mga iyon). Gumawa siya ng mga tungkod na kawayan para sa bawat isa sa amin upang makatulong sa pag-akyat. Ipinaliwanag din niya ang bawat isa sa mga katangian ng halaman na pinulot niya sa daan. Siya ay mapagmalasakit at matulungin. Ang aming lakad ay nagtapos sa tanghalian (nagpaalala sa akin ng luto ng aking ina) at isang herbal na paliguan sa paa/binabad. Dahil pareho kaming Mien (kilala rin bilang Red Dao sa Vietnam) at kami lang, nag-usap kami sa Mien. Nakakatuwang malaman ang mga banayad na pagkakaiba sa aming wika batay sa aming heograpiya (Thai/Lao Mien kumpara sa Vietnam Mien). Kung bibisita ulit ako sa Sapa, gagawin ko ulit ito. Paalala: may mga babae (Red Dao at Hmong) na susubukang ibenta sa iyo ang kanilang mga tela sa huli. Alam kong makukuha ko ang parehong bagay sa palengke sa mas murang presyo, ngunit wala akong puso na makipagtawaran para sa ilang dolyar. Binili ko na lang sa nakasaad na presyo upang suportahan sila.
