Sapa & Bac Ha In Style

Take an overnight rail journey on the Victoria Express train to Lao Cai.

Please note: Transfer without guide in Hanoi; no escorting guide on train.

On arrival in Lao Cai, you will be met and transferred to the Victoria Sapa Resort and Spa for breakfast and a chance to freshen up.

Start your day  with a short walk through Sapa and continue down a trail with a view of the expansive valley and terraced hillsides. Walk through traditional Black H’mong ethnic minority villages, learn how indigo is used to dye clothes, and enjoy watching children play in a local school. This mountain hike will take you on charming trails winding among the rice terraces. Pass the villages of Lao Chai and Ta Van, where you will be picked up by your car to return to Sapa.

Discover Sapa at your own pace. An interesting place to visit is the Sapa market where Red Dao, Black H’mong and other ethnic minority people converge from the surrounding countryside to sell their traditional embroidery, silverware and handicrafts.

Drive to Bac Ha in the morning for the Sunday Market and immerse yourself in the traditional life of local ethnic groups such as Lo Lo, Giay, Flower Hmong, Nung and Tay. Take a walking tour of Ban Pho village and observe everyday life there. Afterwards, transfer to Lao Cai railway station for the Victoria overnight train back to Hanoi.

Your driver will meet you at Hanoi train station and take you to your hotel.
