Description

Join this private full-day cultural experience that takes you from Sa Pa town to Sa Xéng Village — a peaceful Hmong community surrounded by majestic mountains and vegetable garden fields. Your journey begins at Sa Pa Market, where you’ll start an easy 2.5 km walk. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking views of Sa Pa town from above, the lush valleys, and the tranquil countryside atmosphere. Upon arriving at Sa Xéng Village, you’ll join a local Hmong family for a hands-on cooking class. Together, you’ll prepare one of their traditional dishes — such as sticky rice, Bánh Dày, or colored xôi. Learn each step of the process, from preparation to cooking, and then taste the delicious results of your own work. After lunch, stroll around the quiet village to discover daily Hmong life. Your guide will share stories about their customs, language, and traditions — giving you a deeper understanding of local culture that most tourists miss. Finally, your motorbike will take you back to Sa Pa, ending a day full of authentic experiences, cultural exchange, and local flavors.
