Highlights
  • Notre Dame Cathedral - Experience an amazing & authentic day in Sapa and surrounding areas. After I pick you up from your hotel or meeting point, we will begin on our adventure. Lasting 6 hours, I will take you from Sapa town through the more rural villages where I was born. Luckily, through talking to many tourists I have learned how to speak English and we can exchange stories of our cultures.

Loa Chai Village where I grew up is full of culture, handicrafts, and delcious food. We will see the famous Sapa rice fields including trekking through them together. Along the way we will encounter lots of wildlife: buffalo, chickens, ducks, and pigs. You can watch the wildlife and have the opportunity to purchase local handmade goods.

Halfway through the day we will stop for lunch at my friend’s house for a delicious meal that will give us energy to keep going. Finally, after a long and rewarding day of trekking we will make a loop to bring you back to your hotel.

Additional Information

This tour is infinitely customizable. I can design a trek for you at any difficulty level that suits your group best, whether you prefer it very easy, very hard, or somewhere in between. We will communicate on WhatsApp beforehand so I can plan the optimal route for you. Being a local, I know all the secret pathways, so we can explore either the most popular or the lesser-known trails.

My favorite part of the trek is watching you experience Sapa life—the views, wildlife, and food. You might see family rice fields and the animals they farm. Depending on the difficulty level you choose, you’ll encounter different sights like buffaloes or handicraft stores. What makes this tour unique is my ability to tailor the experience to exactly what you’re looking for.

And of course, you’ll take home many souvenirs.

Amazing walking tour with Khu - We enjoyed a day walking tour with Khu that was our BAST EXPERIENCE in Vietnam! We walked in rice fields view to Khu's village (about 4 hours walk from our hotel in Sapa) and talked the whole time. Khu is so lovely, interesting, explaining everything during the walk and answering every questions. Of course, she is a great english speaker. Our lunch in her home was so tasty, and she also arranged our ride back to our hotel. We had such a great time with her!

Amazing trekking journey! - Loved Khu’s sharing of the history and culture of the villages. She brought us on a trekking path with beautiful views, and the team helped us through challenging parts. The home cooked lunch was delicious too. Highly recommend this trekking tour! This was the best part of my Sapa trip.

An amazing experience - We met Khu and Pang whilst exploring Sapa and we are SO glad we did! We took their WhatsApp and arranged a two day hike. The first day we walked with Pang, followed by a home stay at Khu’s home in Lao Chai village and a trek with Khu the following day. Both Khu and Pang are extremely knowledgable, friendly and generous, and it was a pleasure to spend time with them both. The treks were stunning through mountains and paddy fields and we learnt so much about the surrounding villages of Sa Pa and the culture and traditions of the local hill tribes. The trek was completely tailored to our ability and the second day we opted for a slightly easier route to factor in for our achy legs! The hospitality of Khu and Pang was above and beyond, we learnt about the process of the crafts they make, the traditional clothing (which we tried on) and helped make dinner - which we all enjoyed together and was absolutely delicious. We couldn’t recommend this experience enough 😊 Contact Khu directly on WhatsApp to book: +84 98 237 94 43

Sapa- Lao Chai Private Trek+Amazing Lunch - Pang and Khu met us on the streets when we were exploring Sapa. Unlike many of the other local hosts Khu was extremely knowledgeable, polite and clearly explained her options with no pressure to decide on the spot. After exploring our options we touched base with Khu via WhatsApp ‪+84 98 237 94 43‬ and we ARE SO GLAD WE DID! We have returned from one of the most incredible days we have had travelling. Our party was 2 adults and our 10 year old son. Khu had her sister Pang meet us at our hotel and lead us on an adventure of a lifetime. We walked approximately 9km through some of the most beautiful landscapes with incredible photo opportunities. As we had our own guide we didn’t need to follow the large commercial tour parties and were taken on private tracks with only a handful of others along the way. We were also lucky enough to remove our shoes and complete at gentle river crossing before arriving to Lao Chai village. Here Khu was waiting for us at her beautiful home she and her husband built where we made and cooked spring rolls and were served ice cold drinks while Khu and Pang made us a fresh lunch that would knock over many restaurants. (Chicken Stir Fry, Pork Stir Fry, Rice, Vegetables, Spring Rolls and fruit). After lunch we had the opportunity to dress in traditional clothing and have our photos taken in-front of the rice fields. We are so glad we didn’t book our trek through the large commercial groups as we got so much more for the same price. As we ate lunch we saw the 12km commercial groups walking by and they genuinely looked over it while we had the time of our lives. To top it all off a driver was called at no extra cost who delivered us back to our hotel in Sapa. If you have read this far and are exploring your options this family are truely beautiful and us three Kiwis couldn’t recommend them enough. ♥️ 🇻🇳

Khu is highly recommended. - You’ve got to go with Khu. Her happy manner, and enthusiasm are infectious. Her love of the region and local knowledge helped us understand the culture. We were lucky enough to have lunch at her house. She is a gear cook, has good English, and I would highly recommend Khu. Penny from Australia.

Khu is a special guide. - Khu is a special guide. We are a party of four, all over 60 years of age, and she catered for everyone’s differing fitness level. Khu is very positive and cheerful, an extraordinary cook; and we had great day. David, Sydney.

Khu you are the best! - My fiancée and I were lucky enough to meet Khu on the street in Sapa. He immediately inspired us with sympathy and so it was! Nice, kind and super friendly is the right way to describe her. We did the full day trek and she accompanied us all day and even made us an amazing lunch! I recommend her and everyone, she is the best.
