  Nice sprays of fast flowing waterfalls
by SLLiew
 
 

Highly recommended. A nice standard trek from Sapa town, about 3km on well paved road downhill. A great introduction to see the country side of Sapa. There is a nice bridge across the fast flowing river and confluence of waterfalls at this disused small power station built by the French.

Recommend joining a tour with a guide. Of course, you can do it own your too as this is safe and clearly marked walk more than a trek and you come back the same way.

Going back is uphil and I recommend taking the motorcycle ride, xe om. Price is negotiable and reasonable. Save your legs for other longer hikes. I took the motorcycle back, the others walked back but were heavily drenched by unexpected downpour.

Directions: Start from the Sapa town main market. Wear a cap or hat or umbrella or raincoat for strong sun or rain.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
