Your day begins with a pickup from your hotel in Sapa by a local guide and driver, followed by an 18-kilometer transfer to Ban Lech Village, home to the Red Dao ethnic group. From the village, you will embark on a scenic trek along a narrow valley, descending for approximately two hours to reach the Ngoi Bo River. After crossing the river, the trail ascends for about one hour to Muong Bo Village, situated at the center of Thanh Phu Commune. Here, a traditional lunch will be served in a local house.
Following lunch, the trek continues with a gradual uphill walk to Nam Cum Village, then onward to Sin Chai B, another Red Dao village. You will spend the night in a local home, offering an authentic cultural experience in a remote and peaceful setting.
Approx: 1-hour driving/ 6 hours walking/ 1-hour lunch.
After breakfast, begin the day with a downhill trek toward My Son Village, home to the Xa Pho ethnic minority—one of the smallest and least-known ethnic groups in northern Vietnam. After approximately an hour and a half of walking, you will arrive at Nam Toong, a Red Dao village, where a local lunch will be served.
In the afternoon, continue your journey to Ban Ho Village. Weather permitting, there will be an opportunity to enjoy a refreshing swim—please consult your guide before entering the water. From Ban Ho, your vehicle will be waiting to transfer you back to Sapa, marking the end of your tour.
