You will have the opportunity to walk around the village and observe how local artisans create beautiful textiles and jewelry, their customs and traditions, habits of daily life, etc. Also included in your tour is the picturesque Cat Cat waterfall. Its sound is in full harmony with the nature surrounding you.
Another highlight of our Sapa Tours is Ham Rong Mountain, a beautifully landscaped area with a mix of natural and man-made attractions. Stroll through the orchid gardens, see the incredible rock formations, and climb to the top for a bird’s-eye view of Sapa town. On top of the mountain, this wouldn’t be a disappointing view: a great deal of greenery, only made more stunning with vibrantly colored blooms.

Thịt trâu gác bếp (Smoked Buffalo Meat)
This is one of the local specialty dishes of Sapa’s ethnic minorities. The buffalo meat is marinated with many spices before being slightly grilled over the kitchen fire for some months to give it a smoky flavor and chewy texture.
These wild mushrooms are harvested from the forests around Sapa. Noted for their rich flavor and high nutritional value, they join the menu in soups and stir-fries.
This unusual seasoning mix is prepared from salt blended with special herbs: mắc khén, thảo quả, and chili. It is a well-rounded condiment that goes equally well with grilled meats and fruits.
This spicy sauce is made from locally grown chili peppers, uniquely flavored, and sour. It’s great with any meal if one likes a bit of heat.
These mushrooms have a delicate flavor and are most commonly used to create an exact professional touch for gourmet dishes. They are found in the wild, with health-enhancing values attached to them.
