Sapa, in the mountains north of Hanoi, is one of the more interesting places to visit in Vietnam, with emerald-green and craggy mountains and small, hill tribe villages to explore.
This remote, northwestern hill station is best accessed by one of the luxurious overnight trains from Hanoi.
The area is populated by small pockets of different ethnic minority groups who are very happy to show you around their villages. Most itineraries include a couple of days of light trekking around the area, visiting several different villages.
We will try and plan your journey so that you might experience one of the lively weekly markets, which provide wonderful photographic opportunities, as the locals all turn out in their full traditional costumes.
