We are arriving in Hanoi on July 25th and after afew days there would like to visit Sa Pa. Please could you help with our questions?

1. what the weather would be like
2. what type of clothing would be best
3. Should we book the overnight train from Hanoi before we leave England.
4. should we book an organised tour before we leave England or can we do it from Hanoi when we arrive?
5. Any suggestions as to how long we should stay in Sa Pa?

Thank you for your help in anticipation

I have a limited time in Hanoi for weekend. I would like to visit Sa Pa by train on Friday night. And I need to back to Hanoi by Sunday evening. Is there a bus or other trasportation from Sa Pa to Hanoi on Sunday ?

Hi everyone,

Is there anyone know about markets info in sapa or area nearby, So far i have info on Bac Ha, Muong Hon and Coc Ly but i don't know if where is located.please enlighten me?

Many thanks

Visiting Sapa end of February. Different tours offer a variety of trek options. I've identified the following villages: Cat Cat Village, Ta Phin, Giang Ta Chai (is that the same as Lao Chai?), Y Linh Ho, Hau Thao, Su Pan, Ta Van, Nam Keeng, Ban Ho, Cau May, Nam Toong, Nam Ken, Mi Son and Than Phu.
My questions are:
1. Have I missed out any?
2. Which ones are in the cannot-miss category? (which are the best from a scenic and cultural perspective?)
3. Which village would offer the best home-stay experience?
Would appreciate any advice, recommendations, ideas.

What will be the expected weather at the end of October, will the rice fields be green? What would the best out of the way treks and markets be?

Suggested attire for this area?

i will be in hanoi at the beginning of may and would like to go on up to sapa and the highlands...i guess i can take the train or fly to sapa and would appreciate recommendations for really out-of-the-way places to visit from sapa...i can hire a car and guide if necessary...would like to see areas that are not visited by hordes of tourists. i have been teaching in danang for three months and really appreciate the scarcity of tourists here (as compared to hoi an and hue). thanx...
