Sapa: Trek Terraced Rice Fields and Mountain Villages

 


Sapa sits high in Vietnam's northern mountains, where terraced rice fields fall away in sweeping green and gold steps. Hike between villages of the Hmong and Red Dao communities, stay in a family-run homestay, and eat simple meals cooked over a wood fire. Fansipan, among the highest peaks in Indochina, can be reached by cable car for those who prefer views to climbing. Visit in September for golden harvest scenery or in spring for fresh green terraces. Pack layers, as mountain mornings can be cool and misty.
