Sapa

Cat Cat Village sits 2.5km below Sa Pa town in a steep valley - an original Black H'mong settlement with traditional indigo weaving, a 100m waterfall, and a walking trail that gives an easy introduction to highland village life.

Fansipan - the Roof of Indochina at 3,147m - is Vietnam's highest peak, rising above Sa Pa's clouds in the Hoàng Liên Sơn range. Reach the summit by cable car in 15 minutes or conquer it on a 2–3 day trek through ancient forests.

Muong Hoa Valley - Sa Pa's most spectacular trekking corridor - stretches 15km through terraced rice fields, H'mong and Giáy villages, ancient carved rocks, and the Hoa Stream. Vietnam's largest terrace system changes colour with every season.

Tả Van Village - home of the Giáy people deep in Muong Hoa Valley - is the best homestay base in Sa Pa. Surrounded by sweeping terraced fields, 10km from Sa Pa town, it offers an authentic overnight experience that most visitors to Cat Cat or Fansipan never reach.
