Sapa’s stunning natural beauty and friendly people are fast becoming a favourite spot of extensive travellers. It is never short of spectacular sights as visitors trek through hill-tribe villages nestling amidst green terraced rice fields with splendid cloud-capped mountains in the background. The region is home to many ethnic groups (Black H’mong, Red Dao, Day, Tay, etc.), with their traditional and colourful attire. |

The undeniable attraction of this region is the presence of more than 30 ethnic minority groups: H’mong, Thai, Dao, Lu, Tay, whose habitat is primitive villages clinging to mountain sides or clustering on valley floors. Isolated from the modern world, these communities have kept their traditional customs alive. No doubt it is a land of unique and captivating beauty, with much amazement lying in store for visitors. Make sure that the tour coincides with Coc Ly Fair on Tuesday, Can Cau Fair on Saturday or Bac Ha Fair on Sunday. |

A compact tour of the northeastern mountains and Ba Be National Park is one of the most desirable programmes in Vietnam.
