This is one of the iconic trekking tours of Sapa. It begins with beautiful views of terraced rice paddy fields taken from road overlooking the valley. Additional shots are taken along a dirt path into and through the village of Lao Chai and ends in the village of Ta Van. Most of the local girls seen in these photos are Black Hmong but there are other tribes living in the valley.
Lao Chai & Ta Van Villages, about 8 km from Sapa town, where black H’mong and Dzay people are living, it is also the beginning of the valley which is called Muong Hoa. From a high point of the main road, great view of the whole villages open wide to offer the marvelous panorama views, backed by high mountains and facing the river. Here you will enjoy the fresh air, see terraced fields and stream, discover and visit some of Black H’mong families. You will have a welcome feeling at any house of the hospitable people there. You can interact them, learn about their culture and customs.

Located in the Sapa region, the village of Lao Chai is currently positioned as a rest spot for tourists trekking onwards to the village of Tavan. Made up of almost entirely Black Hmong families, the only means to which the community has traditionally participated in the Sapa tourism industry is through street vendors following tourists along the trekking routes selling embroidered items. There are also a number of young women who have become tour guides in Sapa due to their ability to speak English.
For those who always want to find new travel experiences, Sapa is one of Vietnam attractions that they should not ignore. Homestay service, specialties, beautiful landscapes, and the special culture of ethnic minorities people in Sapa will truly not let tourists feel disappointed.
