Before you travel to Sapa
The soft trek route is adjusted for weather, rice season, how you are feeling and where your property is located. On rainy days the village paths can be slippery, so bring shoes that are easy to walk in, a light jacket, a thin raincoat and sunscreen. If you are vegetarian, have food allergies, do not eat pork or have other dietary requirements, let us know when you book.
The better Sapa resorts and ecolodges have a limited number of rooms, particularly at weekends and in peak season. The published price is a reference rate and can change with travel date, resort class, room type, vehicle type, group size and the operating partner's policy before the booking is confirmed.
