Just kidding …I’ve got so many great things to say.My group of 6 friends and I did the 2 day trek
Our communication with Mr Hong and the rest of the Trekking Sapa team was constant. They even allowed us to add on another friend with extreme short notice only the day before.
The tour itself is as customizable as they tell you it is. If you want to go for a hard hike, or a soft hike, that’s exactly what you’ll do.
Balance is required, hiking boots are needed. Im 26 and not as active as my friends so yes there were times I thought I was going to roll down a hill like a sausage. But alas I made it and the views were the best reward I could ask for.
Food was authentic and delicious. There was plenty to go around and I wasn’t hungry once.
Now, I saved the best for last. Our guides, Mu made the trip for us. We got to step into their world for 2 days and it was surreal. We opted for the homestay and they accommodated all 7 of us. We helped prepare dinner and ate with their family, drank some rice wine, played games with their kids
Their English was also very good so we got to really talk to them and learn about their lives and vice versa.
The accommodations are basic, this is not your mama’s house. This is what made the experience so special, don’t cut yourself short of it.
Having said that, there is power for you to charge your phone/cameras.
Thank you so much Mu,Hong and the rest of Trekking Sapa, for this amazing, once in a lifetime experience.
