Most of our clients take their tour to Sapa by night train. Here are some helpful tips to make your Sapa tours more pleasant.
- Always pre-book. It is best to have Sapa Tours is doing this for you at least 1 week in advance. And, always book an AC soft sleeper as they are the best value for money, the safest, and most comfortable. Our Trekking Sapa uses this class of train for all our services.
- Always get to the train station at least 45 minutes early so that you can find your train easily and without stress.
- Bring only what you will need for your Sapa travel tour and leave your other luggage at your hotel or at Trekkingsapa’s office. This is for ease of travel. There is plenty of storage on the train if you do end up bringing lots of luggage.
- The AC soft sleeper cabins have four berths. Two on the bottom and two on the top. If for some reason you think you might have trouble climbing up to the top bunk, be sure to let us know and we will reserve a bottom bunk for you.
- The cabins all have a little table, great for playing cards and other games. Some cabins do have an electrical outlet, but not all of them.
- Bring some of your favorite goodies and drinks with you.
- The toilets on the train are not consistent, bring some toilet paper and baby wipes just in case.
- Bring earplugs if you are not an easy sleeper.
- The last stop is Lao Cai so you don’t have to worry about missing your stop, someone will come and wake you up.
- Finally, when you get out of the train station to keep your eyes open for a sign with the logo and your name on it!
