3.2-day Sapa Homestay & Cooking class with locals

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 5 reviews · from $56Best value

Travel from Hanoi to Sapa by sleeping bus, stay at Nomadtrails Lodge in Muong Hoa Valley, cook Vietnamese food with your hosts, and walk through Y Linh Ho, Lao Chai, and Ta Van. The trip suits active visitors who want local contact, mountain scenery, and a small group capped at 15 people.

“It’s ok. Would have been better. The pick up and bus were late in the morning so I didn’t have the chance to do the Fansipan the day of arrival in Sapa as stated in the description of the activity. So I had to change my activity the next morning with extra pay obviously. The details are not precise, for example there are no foot massage at all in the homestay and learn the culture. The agency answers late, so I advice to contact them a day ahead.”
