Your overnight train arrives in Lao Cai early in the morning. Upon arrival, your luggage will be loaded onto the support vehicle for a scenic one-hour drive uphill to Sapa. The journey offers breathtaking views of mountains and lush valleys lined with terraced rice fields.

Once in Sapa, enjoy breakfast at a local hotel and drop off your luggage at the reception. You'll then set out to explore the ethnic villages of Lao Chai, Ta Van, and Su Pan. Discover the rich cultural traditions and daily life of the Black Hmong and Red Dzay people. A delicious lunch will be served at a local tribal home before you return to Sapa by vehicle.

In the afternoon, check in to your hotel and take a rest before embarking on a cable car ride to the summit of Fansipan—known as the “Roof of Indochina.” The 6-kilometer cable car ride, which takes around 15 minutes each way, provides panoramic views of the surrounding valleys, tribal villages, and the legendary Heaven Gate. Once at the top, enjoy a walk through the mountaintop complex, soak in the 360-degree natural scenery, and take time to appreciate the spiritual landmarks.

After descending via cable car, return to Sapa and enjoy the evening at your leisure—exploring the town's charming cafes, local markets, and vibrant culture.
