Itinerary

Be ready at your hotel in Sa Pa at around 9:00am. Our local will pick you up. Hiking uphill on a rocky path for 2 hours along the narrow valley which runs between two high mountains, passing two villages of the Black H'mong people: Sau Chua and Sa Seng.

The H'mong people here have just recently changed their living way from swidden cultivation style into the sedentary one. So, there are still a lot of traces of the past that can be seen: rudimentary houses, stone walls around houses, etc. Lunch will be served in the village.

After lunch, we will continue along the same trail, travelling uphill towards Den Thang Mountain. After about an hour, we will reach Hang Da Village of the H'mong people, which sits at a height of 1,800m and overlooks the Muong Hoa Valley, paying visit to several local houses.

Leaving Hang Da Village, we will enjoy an easy walk on high elevation for half an hour which will offer a great view of the Muong Hoa Valley until arriving at Hau Chu Ngai, another village of the Black H'mong. This portion of the trek offers great opportunities for taking the best photos of local landscapes.

Travelling downhill from here will take approximately one more hour. We will travel along a dirt track to Pho Village at the center of Hau Thao Commune. You will be picked up from here and taken back to Sa Pa.
