Step 1

Local Tours SAPA Guide & Driver will pick you up at hotel in Sapa or Lao Cai station in the early morning to travel by car about 2.5 hours through winding mountain roads to Bac Ha Market.

Step 2

We should arrive in the market as soon as possible to see the local minorities arriving Bac Ha market wearing colorful clothes, its different costumes at the sunrise. Bac Ha market is the big outdoor market known as the venue for the largest fairs in the region. Watch the colorful market lively with minorities of various groups buying and selling assorted goods including working tools, handicrafts and livestock. Have lunch at a local restaurant.

Step 3

Ban Pho is a highland commune in Bac Ha district, Lao Cai. With its simple beauty and sincerity, Ban Pho has gradually become an interesting and attractive place for tourists coming to the Northwest.

Like many Northwest highland villages, the first thing that attracts tourists in Ban Pho is the rustic, highland natural scenery. To get to Pho village, you have to go through winding roads, close to the Hoang Lien mountain slope, about 4km to reach Pho village. Right down the road is a green valley filled with corn and rice, and on the side of the road are forests of Tam Hoa plums, filled with fruit and heavy branches. In the distance are the houses of the H'Mong people clinging to the mountainsides and cliffs.
