We absolutely loved our day walking miles & miles through the Muong Hoa Valley, starting with Y Linh Ho, to Lao Chai, Ta Van & finishing in Giang Ta Chai. We learned so much from our guide about the lives & cultures of the Black H'Mong, Flower H'Mong & Tay peoples living here, as well as knowledge about the natural side of the valley's villages. We missed the rice harvest, but the terraces were still beautiful, the bamboo forest closest to Giang Ta Chai was cooling & mystical, the kids running home from school in Ta Van were spirited, the Ta Van homestay lunch was filling & yummy, the mountainsides were filled with greenery, wooden homes, farmers, water buffalo, fruit trees & squash, H'Mong women followed us everywhere looking to make a sale & the hike itself was long, not hard & a wonderful experience into a life unlike our own.

Very much enjoyed my trip to Sa Pa the local tour guides were great I very much enjoyed the hikes and the sleeper bus home was very nice. The bus to SaPa was old but I guess you just get what you get. For the price the trip was a good price. You need to see this place before it gets over commercialized. Zi Zi guide was great and Phac organizer in town helped out with getting me back to my hotel. The food was overall good breakfast was a buffet, lunch and dinner were set menus and if you wanted anything different it would be at your own expense. If you stay at The View Hotel my room was very spacious but the second night I was there. From midnight to 3 someone kept trying to open the emergency exit door next to my room which would set off the alarm. Front desk did not speak English at night so could not understand me when I called. The restaurant staff was excellent! It was a great trip overall meet great people! A word of advice as you pull up to your drop off spot at night make sure you have order a grab because once you get off you will be overwhelmed with taxi drivers. I took a taxi to my hotel and was ripped off!

We trekked through Muong Hoa Valley and discovered a tranquil oasis. The lush green landscapes and gentle streams soothed our souls. We loved the peaceful atmosphere and scenic views. A perfect escape from the hustle and bustle, Muong Hoa Valley is a must-visit for nature lovers. Take your time, breathe in the fresh air, and let the serenity sink in

The vibrant green rice terraces cascading down the hillsides were absolutely breathtaking. We couldn't stop gushing over the colorful traditional attire of the local ethnic minorities we encountered along the way. The trekking was challenging but so rewarding - each turn revealed a new stunning vista. We crossed picturesque bridges, wandered through charming villages, and even cooled off in a crystal-clear stream. This valley is a feast for the eyes and a balm for the soul. If you love nature and adventure, Muong Hoa Valley is an absolute must-visit!
