Itinerary description
Sapa to Lao Chai.
The people in Sapa, especially the women trying to offer their services as guides, will tell you that you need a guide to enter Sapa, or that the route is difficult and you'll get easily lost. Neither are true! This route follows the same road all the way to Lao Chai village, which is clearly signposted. A very easy hike to a small village where you can see lots of farms, rice paddies and (sadly) lots of locals trying to sell you souvenirs! But the scenery (on a clear day) is very pretty.
NB - You need a ticket to walk this route, purchased from the roadside ticket office just outside Sapa. Tickets in Nov 14 were 40,000 VND pp.
