Day 01

After meeting your local guide and driver, head about 30 minutes out of Sapa Town to visit the Silver Waterfall, Love Waterfall and Tram Ton Pass. Explore the area before leaving for the traditional village of Ban Khoan.Unlike other tourist attractions of Sapa, the Thac Bac Waterfall is located 12 kilometers from the center of Sapa, making it rather quiet and peaceful. Although it may take quite some times to get to the waterfall; however, at the end of the journey, you will find the distance absolutely worth it.

On the way to Thac Bac Waterfall, you will easily spot the diverse and lively beauty of Sapa. On one side of the road, there are mountains with vast with breathtaking pine forests, rubber rigs and other types of plants. On the other side, you shall find extensive fields which all never seems to end. Such stunning landscapes lie in the land of Sapa, so serene and soothing, almost like there has never been a single person set their foot there. The tranquil way will make you relax and calmer than you ever thought.Located about 14 km to the Southwest of Sapa town, Love Waterfall lies in San Sa Ho Commune, Sapa district, Lao Cai province. The waterfall itself is also the starting point of climbing travel to Fansipan peak. Therefore, on your trip to the peak, you will have a chance to drop in the waterfall to relax and get your money back to be ready for another journey.Tram Ton Pass is on the way between Sapa and Lai Chau. Even if you do not travel to Lai Chau or you do not have a plan to go further north-west, it is worthwhile to go to the top of the Tram Ton Pass and see the amazing view. There is a viewpoint here from which you have a great view of Fansipan on the other side of the valley with lush forests. The view is especially good to see on clear days. The best time to take photos is at sunset or dawn. At the lookout point you will find wooden buildings that are dangerously built on the outskirts, that sell souvenirs and food.From there, begin your trek. The trek, about 4 hours and 15 kilometers (9.3 miles), takes you along mountain trails and through remote tribal villages. Enjoy amazing views of the surrounding rice paddies, and take plenty of photos as you learn about the unique cultures of the Hmong and Red Dzao people.

Take a break for a picnic lunch before continuing the trek to the home of the Red Dzao tribe in Ta Phin Village. In the afternoon, meet your driver to begin the 30-minute transfer back to Sapa.
