Immerse in Vietnam’s vibrant heritage with group tours (Source: Internet)Sapa – nestled in the Hoàng Liên Son mountains of northwest Vietnam – is famous for its breathtaking rice terraces, colorful hill-tribe markets, and authentic homestay experiences with H’mong, Dao, and Tay families. For solo adventurers, Sapa is pure magic: challenging yet rewarding trails, jaw-dropping scenery, and the chance to share stories around evening fireplaces with fellow trekkers.
Legend Travel Group has been running Vietnam Tours focused on Sapa trekking since 2008. Our groups are intentionally kept small (max 12 people), filled almost entirely with solo travelers just like you – meaning instant friends, shared laughter over rice wine, and memories that last a lifetime.
Deposit only 10 % – pay the balance 30 days before departure – total peace of mind.
