Sapa Homestay Experience 3 Nights
Flexible Itinerary
At 20:30 PM, let the allure of adventure beckon as Asia Tour Advisor's seasoned guide warmly collects you from your hotel in Hanoi. Glide through the city's evening streets, heading to the Ha Noi Railway Station, where the night train to Lao Cai awaits. Nestle into a cabin adorned with four berths, soft sleeper amenities, and air-conditioning, ensuring a cozy and restful overnight journey. Emerge in Lao Cai at the early hours of 5:30 AM or 6:00 AM.
As you set foot in Sapa, the veritable epicenter of mountain travel in Vietnam, the vibrancy of the markets unfolds. A convergence of ethnic minorities paints the town in a riot of colors and an atmosphere that captivates the senses.
Note: The night train journey from Hanoi to Sapa takes approximately 9 hours.
What’s included:
- Tour guide pick-up from the hotel to Hanoi station
- Train tickets for a 4-berth cabin, A/C Wooden Soft Sleeper.
As the train pulls in at approximately 6:00 AM, seek the familiar "Asia Tour Advisor’s Logo & Your Name” sign, guiding you upon exiting the station. Our guide awaits, ready to transfer you to the former hill station of Sapa. After a delightful breakfast at a local restaurant, take a moment of repose and prepare for the enchanting Sapa exploration.
The initial leg is on the road, veering right to embark on a small path winding down the valley to the Muong Hoa River along Y Linh Ho valley. This trail leads to the Black H’mong community in Lao Chai village. The Black H’mong, a prominent minority group in Sapa, takes pride in preserving their culture, traditions, and distinct way of life. Their language is unique, and their traditional indigo blue clothing sets them apart. The journey continues to Ta Van village (1,200 m), home to the Zay people—a smaller minority group of about 38,000 residing in the mountains of Northwest Vietnam. While modernization has influenced some of their customs, many women still don traditional shirts with vibrant hues of purple, blue, or green. Check into your room, savor dinner, and relish an overnight stay at a homestay.
Approx: 10 km of trekking, Over 30 km of driving from Lao Cai to Sapa.
What’s included:
- Private car transfer
- English-speaking guide
- Breakfast, lunch, dinner
- Entrance fees
- Private homestay in the village.
With the 'Homestay' experience, your overnight abode is hosted by a local family in their traditional house-on-stilts. Private rooms on the first floor offer comfort, with shared toilet or bathroom facilities. The sleeping quarters feature a single mattress (thin but adequate), blankets, pillows, and a mosquito net. The restroom is standard and a few steps from the main house.
After a breakfast immersed in local flavors, soak in the morning's breathtaking scenery. Leave the village to explore the Red Dao community at Giang Ta Chai, where a short break awaits near a hanging bridge crafted from cane and a mesmerizing waterfall. Adorned in colorful red embroidery and coins, the Red Dao women showcase their unique attire. Following small paths through rice fields, you'll cross the Muong Hoa River and trek to Su Pan village. Here, a jeep awaits to transfer you back to Sapa. The rest of the day is yours to explore the local market and the charming town of Sapa. In the late afternoon, a car will whisk you away for the night train back to Hanoi. Arrive at Lao Cai train station and embark on the night train to Hanoi.
Approx: 8 km of trekking, 10 km of driving back to Sapa, Over 30 km of driving back to Lao Cai.

Sapa is famous for both its fine, rugged scenery and also its rich cultural diversity. If trekking is your thing, why not opt for a two or three day experience incorporating homestays in the villages of your choice. What better way to expose yourself to the cultures and colour of Vietnam’s ethnic minorities on a trek through terraced rice paddies, bamboo groves and traditional villages all in the shadow of Mount Fansipan.
