PM 12 Sapa Retreat : (4 Days)
Duration: 4 nights
Route: Ha Noi-Sapa-Ha Noi

Sapa is a former French hill station situated in the sweeping valleys near the Chinese border. Its high elevation of 1600 meters creates its cool climate which inspired the French to build villas there as a summer retreat. Today, Sapa still attracts visitors for its stunning scenery, comfortable climate, colorful markets, and a variety of ethnic hill tribes who live in nearby villages. This program has increasingly become popular through the years with improvements in the road conditions and the new 4-star Victoria Sapa Hotel making travel today much easier and more comfortable.

Day 1 : Hanoi – Sapa (Dinner)
Our adventure starts with the drive to the mountain town of Sapa. The journey to Sapa will take the best part of a day over some uneven roads. The drive is worth it though, as the scenery that unfolds on our northward journey, and into the highlands is dramatic and breathtaking. Arriving in Sapa late in the afternoon, we will check into our hotel and use what day light there is left to stretch our legs with a short walk around town. This evening we will dinner  at one of the local restaurants.

Day 2 : Sapa Trekking - Catcat -Tavan
Today we start by getting some exercise with a five or six hour trek to the hill tribe villages of Cat Cat, Ta Van and Cau May. As we walk to the villages nestled in the valley below Sapa, we will meet some of the local minority people on their way to and from Sapa. These minority people, including the Red Zao, Hmong and Tay people, walk to Sapa to trade at the markets. Tonight we spend a second night in our hotel at Sapa town. (Breakfast & Lunch included)

Day 3 : Sapa
Today our morning exercise is to make the short climb up Ham Rong Mountain for a panoramic view if Sapa and its environs. Once we have descended the mountain we will then drive six kilometers out of town. From here we commence a one-hour walk to Ta Phin, home to the Red Zao people. Here we have the opportunity to share cultural experiences with the families that live in the area. From here we will return to Sapa for lunch and free time in the afternoon. (Breakfast included)

Day 4 : Sapa - Hanoi
For trips in this area on Sundays, we have an extension tour to Bac Ha, home to the flower Hmong hill tribe minority people. A visit to the market on Sunday is a must. The very colourful flower Hmong people converge from far away villages to trade and exchange goods here. After lunch in Bac Ha, we begin our seven-hour trip back to Hanoi. For trips not in this area on Sundays we will make our way directly back to Hanoi. (Breakfast included)
