This tour is infinetely customaizable. I can make a trek for you of all different levels - whatever is best for your group. If you like very easy, very hard, or something in between. Again, we will message on Whatsapp before so I can plan the best route for you. Because I am from here I know all the secret pathways- so we can do either the most common or the less known.
My favorite parts of the trek are seeing you all experience Sapa life - the views, wildlife, and food. Some things you may see are each families rice fields and what animals they farm. Depending on which level of difficulty you choose you will see different things like bufalos or handicraft stores. What makes this unique is my ability to give you the exact experience you are hoping for.
And of course, you will take home many souvineers.

What To Expect
Experience an amazing & authentic day in Sapa and surrounding areas. After I pick you up from your hotel or meeting point, we will begin on our adventure. Lasting 6 hours, I will take you from Sapa town through the more rural villages where I was born. Luckily, through talking to many tourists I have learned how to speak English and we can exchange stories of our cultures. Loa Chai Village where I grew up is full of culture, handicrafts, and delcious food. We will see the famous Sapa rice fields including trekking through them together. Along the way we will encounter lots of wildlife: buffalo, chickens, ducks, and pigs. You can watch the wildlife and have the opportunity to purchase local handmade goods. Halfway through the day we will stop for lunch at my friend's house for a delicious meal that will give us energy to keep going. Finally, after a long and rewarding day of trekking we will make a loop to bring you back to your hotel.

5.00We had the tour with Khu today in beautiful weather and so were able to enjoy the breathtaking view of the mountains around Sapa. On the way to Lao chai we learned all about growing rice as the harvest was in full swing. Through rice fields, past water buffaloes and the steep slopes down we reached a fabulous vantage point after the. Once in the valley, we had the choice of food in the restaurant or at Khu's home. We accepted this personal invitation thankfully, of course, and so we were served a wonderful meal at her home. We also learned a lot about the traditional costumes and dyeing with indigo leaves. The final walk past the river to the taxi towards Sapa, led once again through the rice fields of her neighbors and so she was able to tell us a little about life in the village. We can only recommend this tour to anyone. Khu speaks excellent English and is just a very nice person to whom you like to ask questions and get them answered friendly.
Highly recommended!

5.00The trekking tour with Thào Thikhu was an incredible experience. It was my favorite activity in Sa Pa, and I highly recommend it. Thào Thikhu picked us up from our Airbnb with two of her friends and we embarked on a 3-hour trek down the mountains. She then took us to her village house where she prepared a delicious meal for us. We had the option to hike up or take a car, but we opted for the car as we were exhausted after the trek. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sa Pa.
Challenging and wonderful...

5.00Challenging and wonderful trak. Lunch at our guides home was the crowning touch. Khu, our guide was informative and caring. Helped me to manage the rougher parts of the path. Great day! Try to have her as your guide.

5.00We booked this tour as part of our visit to Sapa and loved it! Khu was so kind and funny, she really made the tour fun and engaging. We started off along a trail with a few other tour groups but then she took us in a different direction with less tourist that provided a more authentic experience. The trek is pretty long but she provided lots of interesting facts and it was a really great experience. She took us to her home for lunch and it was delicious!! We loved this experience and would recommend it for anyone wanting to visit the rice fields and local villages in Sapa.
Khu - An extraordinary guide!

5.00Khu was simply fantastic. Most of the views of the mountains and valley were engulfed in clouds and mist. But Khu succeeded in making everything come alive and dazzle. She speaks excellent English and is both informative and entertaining, I would do the tour again in a heartbeat and I heartily recommend it to one and all.
