It was so amazing experience because I went to the sa pa mountains and the load on there was so exciting. and mr lang so sweet and kind. he know in the village people so also I experience in there. all of things are so interesting and I remember forever my life ^=^

First of all, please consider that I am not an experienced hiker, nor in great shape. I found this hike to be on the edge of doable and safe. There were some moments that I felt my feet slip away at places I would not wish to fall. Also, with the thin mountain air I found it somewhat hard to regain composure at the moments I got winded from a steeper climb. Additionally there were a couple of local joining us through out the hike; these were (intentionally) not introduced and hope to sell wares and/or collect a tip for hand-holding and or trinket giving activities along the way. Lunch was nice but nothing special. Do not go on rainy days, it will be slippery.

We did the draw in January. Generally not the best time to go. Fortunately, the weather was not too bad, which made the draw doable. If it comes out of thin air, I would recommend putting on clothes that can get very dirty because of a lot of mud! Even though the rice fields were not at their best, it was still fun to learn a bit about the inhabitants and their traditions. The woman who led our tour was extremely friendly and certainly not afraid to answer all your questions! She spoke good English and had a good sense of humor. Unfortunately I never asked her name ...
