Before shoving your bags for any of our top-rated Eco tours in Sapa from Hanoi, here are some quick must-know tips to help make your trip smarter, lighter, and more comfortable. Having led hundreds of Sapa Tours for travelers over the years, I can tell you, these tips do help!

What to Pack

Weather in Sapa can be temperamental, particularly in the highlands, so packing wisely is crucial to have a good trip:

  • Footwear: Pack sturdy shoes for walking or trekking that grip the ground well. It’s a bumpy landscape of stone paths, muddy trails, and rice field fringes.
  • Clothing: Layer up! Mornings and evenings can be cool, even cold in winter months. A lightweight shirt, fleece jacket , and windbreaker are perfect.
  • Rain gear: Bring fold-up ponchos or a waterproof jacket,  you might get caught in a shower unexpectedly.
  • Sun protection: Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat will help prevent you from getting cooked by UV rays, especially when trekking at higher altitudes.
