Travel Tips For Visiting Sapa In North West Vietnam

Travelers can hop on a train from Hanoi, get off at Lao Cai station and hop on a local bus for about 45 minutes to get to the Sapa town. Travelers coming to Sapa can go in organized tours or independently. Though home-stay tours are getting more popular, Sapa hotels are still the widely used way to spend a few days discovering the nature and people here.

April and May are the best time in year to visit Sapa. If the visit time is one month earlier or later, the weather might be constantly raining or cold and foggy for most of the time. Thus, there is really not much scenery you can admire in the dull weather, much less to stay energetic and cheerful. In the two peak month, there's sunshine and the clear sky will allow tourists to enjoy the different flowers blooming colorfully or go trekking and visit a few hill tribes on the way. The weather is also ideal to visit the session markets of the ethnic minority groups here. Come to Sapa and see how rugged nature and diversified culture become an eye-opener experience of life.
