Hiking from Sapa we originally planned to stay in Ta Van for the night
as all tours do, but we arrived in Ta Van after 2 hours of hiking and
were pretty shocked by the tourist infrastructure there. We decided to
go further and were rewarded with some of the most beautiful views,
meeting almost no tourists and got an insight into living in a Hmong
village.
Take the walk through the bamboo forest if you have some time left. The
views are superb and you’ll pass by a larger waterfall on the way to the
village. Take a bath if you feel like. Then you can search for a place
to stay, there are some home-stays around.
