FAQ

Before you come

What travellers usually ask me before a trek. Anything else? Just send me a message.

  • How do I pay?

    In cash (Vietnamese dong), at the end of the trek, so bring enough cash with you on the trek. There's nothing to pay in advance and no deposit.

  • Is the trek private?

    The set treks are shared: I put together everyone who books the same trek on the same day. If you're the only one booking, it's just you; if six people book, we walk as a group of six. The price per person stays the same. Want to be sure to walk only with your own group? Choose a custom private trek (it costs more).

  • What if I need to cancel, or the weather is bad?

    Just send me a message: cancelling costs nothing. If the weather is bad, we talk about it together and find a solution: leaving later, taking another path, or moving to another day. As you only pay at the end, you don't risk anything.

  • Where do we meet? What about my big luggage?

    We meet at Sapa Stone Church, in the centre of town (I don't pick up at hotels). On treks with a night at my homestay, my brother or my father takes your big luggage there, so you only walk with a small bag.

  • Am I fit enough? Can children come?

    Everyone is welcome, children too: I adapt the pace to each group. Only the Fansipan trek is really demanding.

  • When is the best time to come?

    Winter is cold but dry. Summer is the rainy season, but it rarely rains all day: more often in the evening, at night or in the morning, and a bit less down in the villages than up in Sa Pa town. Between the showers it's warm, and the views are at their best: the rice is growing and everything is green.

  • Can you help me get to Sa Pa?

    Yes. Just ask me when you get in touch, and I'll do what I can to help you.
