Arrive at any time. Meet your CEO and fellow travellers at the hotel tonight, before an optional group dinner.

With an early morning start, travel to the mountains of Sa Pa. Set out on your first trek to the village of Cat Cat. Meet locals going about their day as you pass giant wooden water wheels used to pound rice from the area's terraced fields. Stop by a village craft shop to see weavers at work on their looms. Trek back to Sa Pa for the night.

Today, embark on a 15km hike to reach the village of Tả Van. Uncover the beauty of this northern region as you wind your way down the valley, admiring peaceful villages and rice terraces intricately carved into the slopes. After a long day, savour a delicious dinner with your host family at tonight's rustic homestay. Throughout the trek, enjoy opportunities to meet local hilltribe communities. In the H'Mong village of Lao Chai, learn about a famous ancient rock and stop for a picnic-style lunch. In the village of Tả Van, meet with members of the Red Dzao community and experience local culture and customs at the homestay.

Set out for your final trek to the village of Giang Ta Chai, stopping by the Muong Hoa River en route. Hike through terraced rice paddies, a bamboo forest, and picturesque waterfalls as you take in the lush landscapes. This afternoon, transfer back to Sa Pa, before boarding an overnight train to Hanoi. At Giang Ta Chai, meet members of the local H'Mong community who still wear their colourful traditional garments. And if the weather is right, opt for a swim in the cool mountain waters of the Muong Hoa River.

Upon arrival at the train station, transfer to the starting hotel, where your tour will end on arrival. If you are continuing on a G Adventures tour that starts in the evening, your CEO can help you work our what there is to do for the day and how to get to your next tour.
