From here you will start a beautiful bike ride through the valley near Sapa, towards the village of Ban Hoi. The cycling is mainly downhill, making it relatively easy
trip.

On the way down the valley you can observe the villages of Lao Chai and Ta Van and enjoy the beautiful scenery before arriving at Ban Ho. The scenery is beautiful and at Ban Ho there is the opportunity to meet people from the Tay minority.

Day 2: Sapa trekking (B / L / D)

After breakfast you will start a beautiful trekking through the famous rice fields of Sapa. Along the way you will visit authentic villages of local hill tribes (ethnic minorities), where you will learn more about their local culture. For the draw you have 3 choices:

Option 1: Standard trekking

• Route: Y Linh Ho – Lao Cai – Ta Van
• Difficulty: Easy – Medium

This is one of our most popular treks. The route takes you to villages in the Muong Hoa Valley, inhabited by a variety of ethical minorities, including Black H’mong and Zay. We move over
back roads and local paths between the terraced rice fields.

Option 2: Private trekking

• Route: Giang Ta Chai – Su Phan – Ban Ho
• Difficulty: Easy – Medium

The popularity of this trek lies in the fact that the traveler continues down the valley to the village of Ban Ho. The scenery is beautiful and at Ban Ho there is the opportunity to meet people from the Tay minority. It is one of the easier walks where part of the trek follows the main route on the paved road that winds its way through the valley and is therefore particularly suitable for families with children.

Option 3: Off track to be beaten (private)

• Route: Su Phan – Ban Ho – Thanh Pu
• Difficulty: Medium – Difficult

The main draw of the trek is the fact that it explores an area further through the valley that does not receive many visitors. The walk will take you to two Tay villages: the Tay village of Ban Ho and, after a walk through rice terraces and closed roads, the Tay village of Thanh Phu.

After the trek, you will be transferred back to the hotel in Sapa.
