Easy (although a bit long) trekking with many terrific spots. We stop for lunch and also many times for pictures, so actually it can be done much faster.

Nice trail in total. Two mountain tops. 3 villages. We had a guide but due to my trail you do not really need one. What you need though is a ride back to sapa. We should have had a mini bus but it was full so we had to ...
Incredible trekking around Sapa Town, Vietnam, with local guide from a local company, Sapa O'Chao. Super higly recommended! 2 days tour around Sapa mountains and rice fields guided by a local using small paths and non to...
Physically easy but technically moderate due to mud. Very slippery and you may need to ford some streams... But amazingly beautiful!!! There may be easier alternatives in some parts of the trek. You can probably do this...

Nhiu co san is the number 4th worth to trek in Viet Nam. High 2965 need 2 days 1 night trek. You dont need to bring camping equipments . There are "Láng" ( Lang is the wooden house of the local poeple build for trekker s...
Trek from sapa town till Tra Van village.
Circular walk from Sapa through the Hmong village of Cat Cat and Tien Sa waterfall. From Sapa the track go down to the bottom of the valley where the village and the waterfall are located. Much of the path runs between H...
You can probably do this tour by yourself, but I strongly recommend hiring a local guide. It will improve your experience, help your contacts with locals, and you will be contributing to the local economy instead of just...
Improvised path from Ta Van till Ban Ho.
This trail is a bit tricky with the mud if it rained the night before. You will need to have good trekking shoes and maybe a stick. I reckon that the trail would be easier in dry seasons. If you are arachnophobic, I reco...
This route starts from Sapa and goes through the forrest and rice fields with scenic views. Note: the first 100 meters are messed up, please start where the path leaves the road.
Really hard trekking to do it in one day, but the views and the route are worth it 😅. Normally you can do only one way up, and then go down with the cable car, but this time it was close for maintenance, so there was n...
Nice loop to the waterfall and a remote village. Way back is through ricepaddy's and along the river. Begin is difficult to find (feels like jumping in to someones garden), but so nice to do. In the and you can cross the...
Hiking from Sapa to ta van. Beautiful landscape crossing rice fields. 1: in our opinion cat cat is totally unnecessary. Is more like a folk market than a village; tourist trap. 2: is easy to follow the track. There are...
Easy loop starting in Ta Van. We did the trek without guide an we didn’t have troubles. The way was easy to follow and there were many people walking on it.
Once you are out of the town turn right when we did and you will find the counter to pay the local support fee. First half of the trekking is mountain and second half road back(walkable but of course not as nice as keep ...
Avoid the entrance fee to Cat Cat! This route takes you through a tiny village and some rice farms, past paddies and water buffalo, and down to a river. We walked along the river barefoot and climbed up a little further ...
This was based on another very similar hike we found on Wikiloc, but sometimes following the Wikiloc trail would have taken us off the actual trail. A little steep for half an hour, flat for half an hour and down for ha...
Very steep uphill in the first 2 km. Careful when it’s slippery. On clear days the view must be amazing!
Easy hike to make. You need some good shoes as some parts are slippery. I stopped a lot for photography but overall you don't need more than half a day.
Nice route from Ta Van to Cat Cat and back. All mostly easy roads, just a few small, or when wet, slippery paths. The route on the south side of the river has some beautiful sections and is less touristic than the way on...
This trail combines good scenery (lake, terraced paddy fields, valley, river) with paths through village areas in North Vietnam where traditional activities can be viewed. Buffalo could be seen in many places. The only d...
We left from Giang Ta Chai, went through Ban Den and came close to Thanh Kim village. Most of the trail is on the road, very easy to follow. Amazing landscape from high in the mountains.
Route from My's HomeStay. It's actually a loop but I forgot to record the first section. I call it difficult because of the steep slippery muddy sections. We used a guide provided by the HomsStay owners for a very reason...
