Lao Chai - Tavan Villages in Sapa

Situated 7 Kms from Sapa, Lao Chai is a village of black H’Mong ethnic group. It is quite approachable from Sapa for a travelers who do not have much time. In this village which you will have a welcome feeling at any house of the hospitable people there. You can interact them, learn about their culture and customs.

As a tiny village, Ta Van is set in a picturesque valley of Muong Hoa . A night stay here will give you a close-up experience of the life-style and typical culture of the area.

It is convenient to the town center, this popular day trip from Sapa is a good chance to traipse around the rice terraces and experience a bit of rural village life. Hire a car or motorbike for the 9km (5 1/2-mile) road down the valley from Sapa to the Hmong village of Lao Chai (some folks even walk it); it's a nice ride in itself, with huge views of the lush terraces. From there, you'll only follow the valley for a few miles to the next town of Ta Van . Along the way, you'll walk through terraced rice fields and among some picturesque villages, and experience a bit of rural life. (I even had the chance to help with some rice threshing -- a process by which grains are isolated from harvested stalks; you whack a handful of shoots, utilizing a wooden holder, against a bin and loosen the grains onto a mat for collection.)

When you go through unlike illtribe villages (Hmong and Dao people), it's helpful to have a guide to explain customs or practices to you and perhaps translate. You're sure to see other tourists on the trail (which puts many people off), but this is a typical example of the lots of great treks in the religion to travel to Vietnam.
