The best mean of transport to Lao Cai and Sapa is still the train, however, car or van can be also good to reach to this beautiful mountain town. It will take about 10 hours (not including possible traffic jam) in a distance of 400 km from Hanoi. In deed, there is not much of sightseeing we can make en route. We strongly recommend to travel by train, but for some reasons, you would wish to travel there by car, please check with one of our travel consultants to see the road conditions since it sometimes has construction and will make your journey to Sapa even longer than 10 hours. Road travel should be at day time.
It is recommended that you extend your stay at the hotel, you stay the night before so that you can leave your bags and shower or changes before your night train with us. In case that you won’t need a hotel, just a place to store your luggage, please contact your tour operator at Sapa Train Ticket to arrange this for you at our Office, this is FREE!
The best time to visit is from September to April. But each season has its own specials?
During this time, the temperature is ranging from 15 – 25 Degree Celsius, this is not a raining season so the trekking routes are dry, bears great chances to do long trekking and hike to mount. Fansipan.
Named as a town of fog, so it could be sometimes in a day with fog and mist
soon as you arrive to Lao Cai, Heritage guide & driver will welcome you our side (please notice for Heritage logo sign).
It is 38 km from Lao Cai to Sapa, the road is constantly zigzag and steep up hills, since we are approaching to the height of 1600 m.
It is comfortable by AC Van or Car, our driver will bring you to Sapa within 59 minutes.
are different types of trekking in Sapa and its surrounding mountains, so when booking Sapa tours or Vietnam tours including Sapa, you will need to check with our travel consultants to see which kind of shoes will work best.
For the light or easy trek, we recommend using good sandals or walking shoes, but for intermediate and hard trekking trips, we have to use really good shoes or kind of sport shoes which must have really strong grips for hiking up and down
We try not to bring our influences to the local host. CBT means that the locals will make all the arrangements of bedding like: cushions, mattress, blankets, pillows, mosquito-net, with their own materials. Authentic and simple but clean and safe.
Please bring your own sleeping bags to the homestay if you feel the need and it is also recommended for some of the visitors with sensitive skin
