What's on your mind before you go?
Hi there! I'm the MeTravel assistant. Visas, getting around, money, safety or where to eat — just ask, or tap a suggested question to see the answer straight away.
Should I stay in Sa Pa town or in a village homestay?
The Sa Pa town centre is the most convenient base, with restaurants, the market and easy access to tours. Homestays in valley villages such as Lao Chai and Ta Van suit trekkers who want to be close to the rice terraces. Note that the walk back up from the valley is steep.
