Our guide and driver will pick you up around 7:30am for your 5 hour drive to Sapa. Simply sit back, relax, and enjoy as the scenery transforms from bustling metropolis to rolling hills and endless rice paddies. Around midday you will arrive in Sapa, at which time you’ll get to enjoy a local lunch. Then for your first trip use the longest cable car system in Asia, departing from Sapa Town to the highest mountain top of Southeast Asia, Fansipan, once known as the ‘Roof of Indochina’. The highest point of the mountain culminates at 3,143m above sea level. The ascension by cable car takes about 30 minutes offering you on the way a stunning view of terraced rice fields as far as the eye can see. Once arrived, you will be able to visit the temples and finish the climb by foot, just 600 stairs, or by funicular before you head back to Sapa Town by car for an overnight stay in a hotel. It is recommended to bring a jacket as the temperature drops and the wind blows at this altitude.

After lunch you can sit back and continue enjoying the amazing scenery, before arriving in Yen Minh around 17:00 at which time you’ll have free time to explore this charming Dzao village as well as the twin mountains of Tam Son. Dinner in the homestay will consist of some local specialties before you settle in for an overnight stay with your Dzao host family. - 3 - 5 km of trekking
