    We were in Sapa and the weather it was not cold but rainy . We took a night train and we were in a cabin of four persons nice and clean , it was not the Victoria In Sapa you can make easy and nicetrecks Try to go on the week end that is when the markets are, Sapa on Saturday and on Sunday you may return in the night train to Hanoi but during the day you must arrange a trip to BaHa where there is an impressive market Buen viaje

    I had my hotel in Ha Noi booked tickets to Sapa for my family. The brand was Orient Express, and we stayed in a nice and clean 4-bed cabin. There were many foreigners on my train, you can refer here for more info. sapaadventure.com/orient_exp... The weather at Sapa in winter is freezing, sometimes there are snow, so trekking is a good choice to warm up your body. Remember to enjoy foot massage there!

    Hi, I've been in Sapa few times already; for the train i have book directly in Hanoi train station, you can try with Sapalit or vietravel. For trekking in Sapa i book with SapaTravelmate who are very serious and propose every kind of trek so i think you should fine what you expect. One more its better to book in Sapa that in Hanoi, for the price and the serious. Hope it can help you
