Hiking in the Sapa Valley

The most popular hiking routes are: Lao Chai to visit the village of Tovan and the Giay mountain tribes, the bamboo forest, the village of Giang Ta Chai of the Red Dao, Matra, the village of Taphin, and the Gio Cave. In some cases, you can take a car to the trailhead so you don’t have to walk along the open highway. You can also have cars pick you up again at the end.

So, what’s there to see during your treks? Aside from seeing the different villages, tribes, and customs, you’ll also see amazing landscapes of rice paddies, bushy pineapple forests, bamboo forests, and jungles. Sometimes the trails are surrounded by gardens full or orchids and exotic flowers.
