Discovering Sapa: The Tonkinese Alps of Vietnam

Sapa, known as the ‘Tonkinese Alps,’ is a premier trekking destination in Vietnam. While it features more amenities than more remote regions, Sapa retains its traditional charm with stunning landscapes and ethnic minority cultures.

Reaching Sapa can be done via an overnight train from Hanoi to Lao Cai (around 10 hours) or a newly opened expressway (about 5 hours). The scenic views along the journey are worth the trip.

  • Activities in Sapa:

Trekking: Explore excellent trekking routes, including the highest peak, Fan Si Pan.
Cultural Visits: Experience remote villages and vibrant markets, where various minority groups trade goods over rice wine.
Scenic Beauty: Enjoy misty landscapes, traditional attire, and terraced rice paddies.

The area is also home to unique wildlife in alpine forests and dwarf bamboo habitats above 3,000 meters. Make the most of your early mornings for a more authentic experience away from the crowds.
