This trip includes a 3 day
trek through the hills and valleys in the Sapa region,
visiting several different Red Dao minority villages.
Three nights are spent in these minority villages - so be
warned you will have to do without some creature comforts
on this one. Often there is no electricity or running
water and in some cases bedding can be a layer of straw
covered with a mat. The apparent hardships are worth it
though, as we walk through some of the most spectacular
scenery that Vietnam has to offer and learn more about the
unique and charming customs of the Red Dao people.
