for its unique minority tribe such as the Hmong, Dao and Tay tribes. The Hmong

Best time to visit:
The monsoon season is usually from November to April while the dry season is
from May to October, where it is usually very warm and humid.During December and
January, the weather can be pretty hard on tourists as most houses and hotels
lack heating systems. The temperature could reach as low as 00C when it rains.
It usually gets very foggy during year end and early year periods. Going during
the dry season is advisable as you do not want to risk having a foggy day in Sa
Pa
Things to do:
* Trekking
When you are in Sapa Mountains, trekking is a must-do. They have different
routes which takes you to different parts of Sapa. Each route has a view of its
own both in terms of culture and nature. We spent the three days in Sa Pa
trekking and I must say that what I saw while trekking in Sa Pa was one of the
most beautiful thing I have ever witnessed in my travels. The Hmong people who
were selling handicrafts actually followed us for kilometers, they were a
friendly bunch and could speak simple English. You could also visit different
tribes and observe different customary. Its seems as though the deeper in you
walk the more majestic it gets. Its almost as though you begin to slip into
another world. A world of beauty in simplicity. The memories I had in Sa Pa is
something I will never forget in a long time.
* Home Stay
When we went to Sa Pa Mountains during January, the temperature hit 00C plus it
was raining and everything was wet. So it pretty much scared away the tourists
who intended to stay in the Home Stay of Sa Pa. We were crazy enough to go ahead
with the plan and were the only tourists there, and we do not regret that
decision we made. It's a great way to submerge youself in the great nature and
culture of Sa Pa. Our balcony was actually overlooking terraces of
plantations,greeneries and a stream. In the night we made ourselves a fire and
just sitting around the fire in the great outdoors was a rewarding experience by
itself.
