Description

The tour starts at Sapa Stone Church with an uphill hike to Ham Rong Mountain, offering a bird's-eye view of Sapa town nestled among mountains and mist. This initial climb introduces a rewarding experience.

Next, you ascend Sa Xeng Mountain, which provides wider views over Sapa city and the Muong Hoa Valley, revealing terraced fields, winding roads, and distant villages.
