July 2026Trek itself was great, but the homestay room ended up shared with another group of four and got a bit cramped for sleeping.

May 2026Muddy but worth it
Trails were slippery after rain the day we went, and the guide had spare sandals ready which saved the day. Views over Lao Chải were stunning.

General
Layers for cool mountain nights
Bring layers for cool mountain nights, trekking shoes with grip, and cash for the homestay. Sa Pa weather changes fast — pack a light rain jacket regardless of season.
Questions travellers ask
Moderate — about 8-10km of trail over the two days on dirt paths and stone steps, no technical climbing; a walking stick helps but isn't required.
