08:30 – 11:00: The trekking journey begins from the center of Sapa town, leading to Y Linh Ho Village – a tranquil spot nestled along the mountainside. Crossing a suspension bridge stretched over a deep valley, visitors continue along narrow dirt paths winding through lush green terraced rice fields. 

The vibrant natural scenery unfolds alongside the poetic Muong Hoa Stream, guiding your steps to Lao Chai Village – home of the Black H’Mong people.

11:00 – 12:00: Stopping at a traditional Black H’Mong house, visitors will have the chance to explore the distinctive rustic architecture and listen to cultural stories passed down through generations, offering deep insight into the life and spirit of the ethnic people in the highlands of Northwest Vietnam.

12:00: Experience local life by joining the people of Lao Chai Village in the kitchen, preparing traditional dishes with your own hands, then gathering around a simple meal to enjoy a warm lunch rich in the flavors of the highlands.

14:00: Continuing the trekking journey along winding trails through the mountains and forests, visitors arrive at Ta Van Village – home to the gentle Giay people. The peaceful landscape unfolds with simple stilt houses and cascading terraced fields, reflecting the distinctive cultural identity of the highland ethnic communities.

16:00: A car will pick you up at Ta Van Bridge and take you back to the center of Sapa town.
