MARKETS
Every trip has one spare week and too many trails. These 4 market walks justify it, priced and graded so you can decide in minutes and get back to packing.
Travel from Hanoi to Sapa by night train or sleeper bus, trek with a local English-speaking guide through Cat Cat, Lao Chai, Ta Van, and Giang Ta Chai, then visit Bac Ha Market and Hoang A Tuong’s Castle. Guide Sua is one possible guide.
“Should bring sport during the trip, prepare water, amzing tour guide and the view, highly recommend!”
Join a group of up to nine for a six-hour Chiang Mai outing through Doi Suthep-Pui National Park. You’ll browse a fresh market, visit Doi Suthep Temple, hike downhill to Monthathan Waterfall, and eat local dishes such as khao soi. Hotel pickup, a guide, lunch, snacks, and water are included.
“Aom was wonderful, the walk through the national park was a highlight. Lunch was just the right amount of spicy.”
Join a live guide from Kph Hotel for a tuk-tuk ride to Moshi’s large second-hand market. Spend two hours shopping and learning to bargain, then enjoy local lunch, a drink, and return transport. Guides speak English, Swahili, Turkish, and Portuguese.
Travel from Hanoi to Sapa by bus, then hike through Y Linh Ho, Lao Chai, and Ta Van. You will sleep in a local homestay, eat family-style meals, and trek through bamboo forest to Giang Ta Chai with an English-speaking guide.
“Great guide, but needs a bit more knowledge on flora and fauna. Lovely host family. Great to learn about the native people. Thoroughly enjoyable time. Lots of exercise”
Pick a range, a cone or a valley.
