Our Take on Sapa

  1. Flair

    Spectacular mountain scenery meets authentic hill tribe culture.

  2. Best time to visit

    April–May and September–November generally bring the driest weather.

  3. How long to stay

    Two to three days is plenty for the highlights and a solid hike.

  4. Price level

    Homestays are seriously affordable — guided trekking tours cost a bit more.

  5. Food

    Don't leave without trying Thang Co or the local mountain-raised salmon.

  6. Getting around

    Grab taxis work well in town. A cable car takes you up to Fansipan.
