Starting the day by driving down town Sapa to Ban Ho village, where you will take a trek to the remote village - from Thanh Phu village to Nam Sai village, a village of Xa Pho minority. The Xa Pho in these villages are among the poorest people in Vietnam due to backwards farming technique. They mainly live on slash and burn agriculture, hunting, gathering forest products such as bamboo shoot, mushroom.
A tough trail which takes about 5 to 6 hours walk from Ban Ho village which offers fabulous scenery and a chance to explore, meet and witness the amazingly hard life of the Xa Pho in these villages.
