Why we love it?

This two-day tour begins with an overnight sleeper train from Hanoi to Lao Cai, setting the pace for an immersive visit to the vibrant Bắc Hà Market, known for its colorful hill tribe costumes and traditional bartering among the Tay, Dzay, Red Dzao, and Black H’mong communities. After exploring the market, the itinerary includes a trek to Trung Do village and a boat trip along the Chay River, passing under waterfalls and visiting Flower Mong and Black Dzao minority families, followed by a stop at the Ha Khau Vietnam-China border gate before arriving in Sapa for an overnight stay. On the second day, guests trek through Y Linh Ho and Lao Chai villages of the Black H’mong people, enjoy lunch in a local house, then continue along the Muong Hoa stream to Ta Van village of the Dzay people before returning to Lao Cai for the night train back to Hanoi.
