Auberges de jeunesse à Hau Thao

Found the Hmong Sister house after briefly researching local guides to take two of us on a hike around the Sa Pa area. I had few expectations for the hike, beyond hoping to see some stunning scenery - which we did! - the hills and rice paddies in the Lao Cai area are a sight to behold. We sent the sisters a WhatsApp the evening before, and they swiftly replied and arranged to pick us up at our preferred time the next day. Our fantastic guide, Bam, picked us up from our hotel and we walked through Sa Pa town to the start of our hike. It was a bit of a challenge at first - it had rained the night before, so descending a muddy forested hill was slippery to say the least - but the sun soon came out and we saw some of the best views Vietnam has to offer. Bam answered all of our questions about the local area and was very patient when we were taking the hike quite slowly! The ”bamboo trek” (which was the hiking option we chose) took about 4 hours. It is very accessible for anyone who is capable of long walks, but do wear some proper boots! Our hike ended with the best pho we had eaten during our entire time in Vietnam at a Hmong-owned restaurant! Bam then kindly ordered a taxi to take us back to our hotel. Overall, a fantastic experience and a memory I will treasure for a very long time! Thank you again to the sisters, and particularly Bam!
