Ta Van Things to Do Tips by galy

RED ZAO VILLAGE

The Red Zao people are very freindly, and colorfull. They were very willing to invite us to see their homes. It was TET so we participated in the Tet celebration. Food alcohol and a lot of loughs.

Directions: Trekking from Sapa

HOME STAY - with TAY FAMILY

Our fondest memory of Vietnam is the night we spent at a local TAY family house in TaVan village. The house was prety nice, close to the river. The people were very welcomming, and dinner was superb. We slept in the gallery, on matrasses.
I realy recomend the experience, not just for backpackers!!!

Directions: Can be arranged by any tour operator in Hanoi or Sapa

TREKKING to MINORITY VILLAGES

One of our best experiences in Vietnam. Trekking to, and around Tavan is easy. Even if you are not a backpacker, as we were not. Even if you generaly prefer the limosine ride and the 5 stars hotel, it's still worth to leave it all behind and go trekking in this area.

Directions: Usualy starts and end in SaPa
