06:30 – Morning Pickup from Lao Cai Railway Station
With me as your guide, you can count on a friendly smile and local knowledge as you commence the drive up the legendary O Quy Ho Pass, one of Vietnam’s four great mountain passes. Pine-forested mountain peaks are shrouded in mist as you drive up into the clouds, bound for a region where nature and culture mix.
08:00 – Trekking in Lao Chai – Ta Van – Muong Hoa Valley
We arrive in Ta Van, a quaint Dzay village, and begin our gentle trek in the Muong Hoa Valley, full of ancient rice fields and ethnic minority groups of the H’mong. As we hike, we pause to watch as locals dye their fabrics indigo, view water-driven rice mills at work, and listen to traditions that have been passed down through generations.
11:30 – Arrive in Sapa Town and Drop Off at Horizon Hotel
Time to catch your breath and an opportunity to absorb your initial impression of the hotel. Trust me, your Sapa Horizon Hotel balcony view will rob you of your breath before the mountains do.
12:00 – Lunch at Authentic Sapa Restaurant
It’s not just lunch, but a culinary welcome. Signature dishes such as steamed chicken infused with lime leaves, su su greens, and mushroom soup, prepared by the team at the Authentic Sapa Restaurant, positioned at the hotel’s ground floor, are served with warm smiles.
14:00 – Afternoon Visit to Cat Cat Village
In the afternoon, we visit Cat Cat Village, at the base of Fansipan Mountain. Strolling along the stone paths through flower gardens and craft shops, we discover the culture of the H’mong, witness the old looms in action, and listen to the soothing roar of Tien Sa Waterfall. This is the heart of Sapa.
16:30 – Return to Horizon Hotel – Check-In and Relaxation
Now it’s time to relax. My suggestion is always the Executive Room with Balcony or the Premier Room, both with unforgettable views of Mount Fansipan as the sun sets behind the mountains.
19:00 – Free Evening in Town or Optional Night Walk
Take a walk around Sapa Town, stop by the Stone Church, or savor a warm glass of cinnamon tea in a local coffee shop. On a Saturday, don’t miss the Love Market, as ethnic groups congregate to sing, exchange, and share stories under the moonlight.

Booking a room in the Horizon Hotel is more than just reserving a space and packing a bag, it is preparing for an experience of a lifetime in the very heart of northern Vietnam’s upland regions. As your lead, allow me to outline the necessary tips to make your trip smooth, secure, and amazing.
You’ll need layers for the Sapa Tours experience. Sapa’s weather can change radically from sunny mornings to cold nights, even during the height of the summer season. Bring light, warm clothing (jackets, sweaters), moisture-wicking trekking pants, and waterproof outerwear in the rainy season (May to August). Trekking shoes or sturdy walking shoes are a must, particularly for visiting Muong Hoa Valley and Cat Cat Village. Bring a small backpack, a reusable water bottle, personal medication, and a universal power adapter (Vietnam operates on 220V, type A, C, or F outlets).
Muong Hoa Valley (Sours: sapanomad)
The ideal season to book your Sapa tours stay at Horizon Hotel is from September to the dry season in April. October and November are amazing if you want golden rice fields, whereas March to May have flowers in bloom and sunny skies. Weekdays and holidays such as the Vietnamese Lunar New Year (Tet) tend to book up very quickly, so booking early is strongly recommended.
There are two principal routes from Hanoi to Sapa:
To enjoy the ultimate in travelling immersion, I always suggest the train and private transfer combination; it’s romantic, secure, and perfectly scheduled to arrive early in the morning.
Sapa is at around 1,500 metres altitude, so gentle altitude symptoms such as breathlessness or tiredness may occur. Drink plenty of water, walk at a pace you feel comfortable, and rest whenever you need to, particularly along trekking trails or at the top of Fansipan. Always apply sunscreen and wear sunglasses; the mountain sun is stronger than you realize!
Visa exemptions of 15–30 days are permitted in Vietnam for most nationalities, such as the UK, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and members of the ASEAN community. Some other nationalities (such as the USA, Australia, and India) can apply for a Vietnam 30-day e-visa. Make sure to verify the most recent entry regulations from official government sources in advance of your visit.
The local currency is the Vietnamese Dong (VND). While Sapa Horizon Hotel accepts credit cards, it’s handy to carry some cash for market shopping or tipping. Tipping is not mandatory, but always appreciated. About 50,000–100,000 VND for guides and hotel staff goes a long way. English is spoken at the hotel and by our guides, but learning a few Vietnamese words like “xin chao” (hello) and “cam on” (thank you) is always a beautiful gesture of respect.
The Sapa tours stay at Horizon Hotel are more than an escape from the scenery, more a chance to unwind, get back into the rhythm, and feel the heart of Sapa Tours. Step by step, from mountain peaks to mist-shrouded mornings, each step is full of significance. Let Impress Travel lead the way, one heartfelt step at a time.
