Sapa - Bac Ha Market 2 Days 1 Night in Hotel

This 2 days / 1 night cultural journey takes you into Sapa, weaving together Sapa at a calm, well-paced rhythm. A mountain town suspended above terraced rice valleys, with H'mong, Dao and Tay villages threaded along the slopes.

You travel with an English-speaking guide and comfortable transport, so the timing stays flexible. Pickup, pace and stops are shaped around your group rather than a rigid coach timetable, and the route favours quieter moments over the busiest tourist spots.
