Hanoi
Catch a charge in Vietnam's colorful and frenetic capital city
Dive deeper into the nature and culture of Vietnam by journeying north to Sapa. Led by your guide, go trekking through the hills to reach waterfalls and small villages where you’ll have the chance to connect with ethnic minority hill tribes including the Red Dao and Black Hmong.
The Red Dao have called these mountains home for centuries and still continue their traditional rice farming, while Red Dao women are famous for their embroidery and bright traditional clothing. Visit remote villages totally off the beaten track, where you can share a cup of green tea with the locals. Back at Topas Ecolodge, a rustic yet elegant hilltop hideaway, you can decompress from a day outside surrounded by the mountains of Huang Lien National Park. Refresh yourself with an infinity pool dip, taste the local terroir at three different restaurants offering panoramic views, or unwind at the spa with a massage and traditional Red Dao herbal bath.
