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.

Da & Khang - An impressive experience, Du and Khu are very funny, along the way they explained many things about culture. During the trek we were given easier or more difficult options for us to decide where to go. They took us through busy places. We ate at Khu's house, went shopping with her, were taught to make Vietnamese rolls and met her family. After lunch we continue the route through the rice paddies. If you have the opportunity to come to Sapa and trek through its incredible mountains, definitely do it with them.

The best experience in Sapa - I met Khu and Pang over coffee and they suggested this excursion. The next day they were there at the hour I agreed with a smile on my face. Very friendly and friendly. All the way from 11 kilometers to their village of Lao Chai we were talking and explaining things and they answered all the questions we asked them about their visa form and whatnot. They suggested the easy way not to get muddy and so on. When we got home we ate on the patio, met his family and collaborated in making Vietnamese rolls. Fantastic food. 100% recommended. Homemade food to the max. Still authentic without tour operators and so on. They answer and we answer more. We returned in a taxi from Lao Chai to Sapa. Spectacular landscapes.

Favorite experience in Vietnam. - My partner and I met these lovely ladies whilst we were exploring the town. We were so taken by their humor and cheeky banter that we arranged a full day of trekking for the following day. The whole experience was amazing. They went out of their way to help us along the trek and even took us to the local river so we could have a nice swim. To top it all off we had lunch in their home with their family and it was the best flippin food we’ve had our whole trip. They were very accommodating with our diets (vegetarian) and made us feel so welcome. If we ever come back to Sapa we will definitely be going trekking with these beautiful ladies.

A great experience! - We had a great day with Khu! She was really genuine, funny and full of knowledge that she happily shared with us. She invited us at her place and cooked a delicious lunch and we had the chance to learn Batik technique wit her.

Fantastic, unique experience with Khu - If you are looking for a real authentic trekking then Khu (call sign) is the place to be. Especially if you go for a private draw. Khu is a real local, super cheerful, friendly and speaks very good English. We were 2 and went on the road with her for a day and later her sister also joined. We walked to the village where her sister lives where we helped her in the kitchen with preparing the meal (if you want of course). The trekking was very varied, including mountains, waterfall, bamboo forest, rice fields and villages. We had a wonderful day to remember and will definitely come back in the future or will advise others to do a trekking at Khu.

Highlight of our trip in Sa Pa. Beautiful views and learnt a lot about the villages and local people. - Had a brilliant time with these 2 ladies who showed us round their village and the neighbouring village.

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!
