Ha Noi - Sa Pa -

( 4
days / 3nights )
HIGHLIGHTS:
. Sapa hill station
. Trekking
. Bac Ha weekend market
Day 1: Ha Noi
- Sa Pa
An early morning start to drive along the Red River to
Sa Pa. The roads are bumpy at times, but various scenic landscape changing
from the delta area to the Tonkinese Alps make for an interesting journey.
At an elevation of 1,500 meters, Sa Pa was once a hill resort of French
administrators when the summer heat became unbearable. The remoteness and
the simple lifestyle of ethnic minority people are a highlight of Sa Pa
although conditions are basic. After checking into hotel in Sapa we can soak
up the fresh climate as much as we want by spending time to wander around
this hill town. O/N in Sa Pa.
Day 2: Sa Pa
The Phan Si Pang range boasts Vietnam’s highest
mountain and lends an alpine feel to the area surrounding this hill station.
Today we have time to visit the bustling Sa Pa Market where the Red Dao,
Black Hmong, Tay and Xa Pho ethnic minorities converge from the surrounding
mountainsides and valleys to trade their goods and buy provisions. We then
get well off the beaten track as we embark on a walk to explore this
beautiful mountain region. Along the way we cross over several hill villages
and see many hill tribe people doing their daily works such as logging,
herding buffalo and tilling the field. O/N in Sa Pa. (B)
Day 3: SaPa -
Bac Ha
Upon leaving Sapa we set off on our scenic drive
through the border town of Lao Cai to the colourful Sunday Market at Bac Ha.
This market also attracts a wide variety of ethnic minority groups including
the Variegated Hmong, Dao, Phu La, La Chi and Tay. They still retain their
age old cultural traditions and are recognisably distinct from each other by
their dress. The experience of this congregation is colorful and unique.
After the market we enjoy a walk around the area, visiting the Hmong King’s
former residence and Ban Pho where the villagers make the potent local maize
alcohol. O/N in Bac Ha. (B)
Day 4: Bac Ha -
Ha Noi
The return journey begins as we depart Bac Ha Town and
pass through the verdant and rugged mountain scenery to Hanoi. These back
roads are a great way to explore the real Vietnam. We see very few other
travellers, mostly rural dwellers who are just as interested in finding out
about our lives as we are of theirs. The drive is very long , but we can can
make many stops along the way to stretch our legs and take wonderful
photographs. The trip ends on arrival in Hanoi. (B)
