In the fabulous scenery of hills and rice terraces around Sapa, this Vietnam adventure holiday avoids the main trekking areas and explores hidden valleys and remote villages. The area is home to many different hill tribe people. Each tribe has their own culture, costumes and language. You can even spend some nights in their homes; this is a unique experience but accommodation is very basic.

Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is a city with many interesting sights; the bustling old town with its street food, Ho Chi Minh’s mausoleum, museums, French colonial buildings and lakes. If you wish to extend your stay at the end of the trek an option is the world heritage site of Halong bay. Cruising through the bay around the islands of limestone karsts makes for the ultimate Vietnam adventure holiday.

The terrain is hilly, the trekking undulating and in parts fairly steep. Therefore, a degree of hill walking fitness is an advantage.
