SAPA
Tucked high in Vietnam ‘s remote northern mountains, close to the Chinese border, the former French military outpost of Sapa offers some of Vietnam ‘s most colorful experiences with the majestic beauty of Fansipan.
The views are breathtaking. Vietnam ‘s highest peak, the 3,143-metre Mount Fansipan, looms overhead, while the surrounding valleys feature terraced rice paddies cut by fast-flowing streams. Layer upon layer of neat farming ridges fades into the distance, edged by sharp, rocky peaks. The region is home to several ethnic minority groups all wearing their traditional and colorful attire.

FANSIPAN Via Tram Ton route (Grade 2.5/5, suitable for beginner with good fitness lvl)
Fansipan is branded “the Roof of Indochina” at the height of 3, 143m; Fansipan Mountain is one of the very few eco-tourist spots left in Vietnam, with about 2000+ floral varieties and 300+ fauna species. It was once only attempted by fit adventures seekers due to the strenuous trail but now this mountain offers various routes suited for all type of hikers. Regardless of the new tram that brings people to the summit of this large peak, you should make the trek to meet travelers, experience adventure, and talk with locals. We will attempt the hike through Tram Ton route which is considered the easiest and safest among all other trails.
Post summit and sunrise, we will descend via the cable car. The Sun World Fansipan cable cars holds a Guinness World Record and the ride is a highlight of many travellers’ time in Sapa. The cable cars runs every day, and each one can hold up to 35 passengers. Once you leave the station, you’ll immediately start to float high above the rice terraces and rocky cliffs below. Huge windows let you take in the sights all around.
Trekking To CAT CAT Village (Grade 1/5, suitable for beginner with good fitness lvl)
Cat Cat cultural village was formed in 19th century by the gathering of some families belonging to some ethnic groups living in mountainous areas of northern Vietnam, especially Black H’Mong .They lived next to each other along the mountain side and cultivated surrounding their home. Rice and corn were grown in terraced fields, while traditional handicrafts such as twisting flax and weaving fabric have been well-kept. Through times, Cat Cat Village has transferred to one appealing feature of Sapa.
To visit village, you walk through Sapa Market down the valley. Visitors to Cat Cat have an opportunity to admire a lively and colorful picture of the local crowd and lifestyle with looming mountains in the background.
