What the trek is like

On the first day, you climb toward Dragon Mountain for wide views over the valley, then walk down through the villages. Instead of returning to Sa Pa in the afternoon, you continue to my family homestay in Hau Thao village. In the evening, you can cook with my family, share dinner, and swap stories. The second day is lighter, walking through rice terraces, bamboo forest, and to a small waterfall where you can swim before returning to town.

Not sure you can manage the climb up Dragon Mountain? Just tell me when you get in touch: we'll talk about it and find a better option together.

    I did a 2 day 1 night tour with May and her family and had the most wonderful time! She took us around gorgeous landscapes away from the most popular trails, shared stories from her life and culture, and made us feel so welcome. Can’t wait to come back!

    We trekked from Sapa to May’s home and then stayed for 3 nights. We had the most amazing time. May is such an incredible, easygoing, fun woman, and her family is equally kind. The food was delicious as well - some of the best food we had in Vietnam. We stayed one night extra because we couldn’t bear to leave. We will definitely go back when we can!!

    The best trekking guide in Sapa!

    Amazing 2 day trekking with the kindest guide May! She speaks english perfectly and she will try to give you the best impression of Sapa from a local view. You will walk through the ricefields and the mountains with amazing views! You will sleep at her familyhouse in a local village. You can choose to play some games and cook a delicious meal together in the evening! Had the best time!
