SAPA TRAVEL GUIDE:
Hike to explore Giang Ta Chai Village (Dzao Tribe) | Trekking in Sapa, Vietnam Travel Video (Part 3)
On our final leg of our journey trekking all over the Sapa, Vietnam region, we hiked with the intention of reaching Giang Ta Chai Village - home of the Dzao Tribe. Our night spent at the traditional home stay was an enriching experience. The traditional beds with mosquito nets in a communal setting on the second floor was a far cry from our cozy bed with a view in Sapa; however, we were so tired and flat our exhausted from our full day hike that we could have slept on a bed of nails without even noticing it. Prior to sleeping we enjoyed chatting with a group of other travelers on our hike, while taking a few chugs of a local moonshine - provided by our tour guide - along with drinking several beers.

In the morning we woke up to a mountain high pile of pancakes and syrup that our group devoured. What appeared to be enough food to feed a small army ended up gone in mere minutes.
Finally we after packing up our belongings and having one more cup of coffee we began what would be our final hike of the trip.
Immediately, we were taken aghast by sheer steepness of the trail compared to our previous legs of the journey. Although I took time to record video and take photos, this was the most challenging part of the trail and I had to limit my time spent on documenting the journey in order to keep up with the pace of the group.
At times completely out of breathe, this was a far more arduous affair compounded further by the fact sections of the trail was muddy, making for slippery steps; luckily, none of us in the group ended up falling in it.
Our views at first were of magnificent vistas with engineered rice terraces descending in orderly fashion; however, we quickly reached a point where we entered a bamboo forest with terrain even muddier than what we had just experienced.
The reward for all of this hiking was a cascading waterfall offering shady reprieve and a much needed break-point prior to us all having lunch. I think our guide could instinctively tell we were knackered at this point, so we ended up hanging out in this area for at least twice as long as any other rest stop along the way.
The arduous trek had come to an end and we slept like babies the entire way back to Sapa in the passenger van that bumped along the unpaved sections of road. With just a few hours to kill before our train ride back to Hanoi, we spent time online getting caught up on emails, editing photos and stringing together clips of videos from our hike that would later be uploaded to YouTube and Vimeo.
Overall, our experience trekking in Sapa was both rewarding and challenging at the same time. Had I been in better health, I know I would have enjoyed it even more; however, oddly enough, I think the challenge of doing the hike just after dealing with a serious bout of food poisoning made the struggles more rewarding:
Trên chân cuối cùng của chúng ta về cuộc hành trình của chúng tôi đi bộ trên tất cả các Sa Pa, khu vực Việt Nam, chúng tôi leo với ý định đạt Giang Tả Chải Village - quê hương của tộc người Dao.
Đêm của chúng tôi với các cảnh ở nhà truyền thống là một kinh nghiệm phong phú. Các giường truyền thống với màn chống muỗi trong một khung cảnh xã trên tầng hai là khác xa với giường ấm cúng của chúng tôi với một cái nhìn tại Sapa, tuy nhiên, chúng tôi đã quá mệt mỏi và kiệt sức căn hộ của chúng tôi từ tăng đầy đủ ngày của chúng tôi rằng chúng tôi có thể ngủ trên một giường của móng tay mà không cần chú ý đến nó.
Trước khi ngủ chúng tôi rất thích trò chuyện với một nhóm khách du lịch khác trên tăng của chúng tôi, trong khi tham gia một vài chugs của một ánh trăng trong nước - được cung cấp bởi hướng dẫn viên của chúng tôi - cùng với uống nhiều bia.

Hike to explore Lao Chai Village (Black Hmong) | Trekking in Sapa, Vietnam Travel Video (Part 1)
In our latest travel video we venture off from the cozy confines of our base in Sapa, Vietnam to explore the village of Lao Chai renowned for its Black Hmong tribe. This trek almost didn't happen. Forty eight hours prior I was barfing out of my ass and mouth with a vicious case of food poisoning. Although we had tried pumpkin soup several times, at this one particular restaurant, something wasn't right with the soup when I had it alone that afternoon. The next few days were spent lying in bed, as though I had been run over by a mack truck, alternating with stints in the bathroom.

To say it wasn't pleasant would be a massive understatement. Already we had to delay our trek by a day and with an upcoming train ride to Hanoi with a flight leaving the country, it was now or never. Although, I didn't feel anything close to 100% I finally put my foot down making a final decision: we're going!
We ended up joining a group of travelers at nearby hotel where we were met by our local guide. As we descended down what was a fairly simple path we quickly deviated to a far more narrow trail that was more challenging of a hike.
After several hours of passing through smaller villages where we witnessed farmers tending their rice fields, water buffalo docilely wading in mud, and young villagers playing games while hopping around; we finally reached a point where we could see far off in the distance a pedestrian bridge, which would lead us to where we would have lunch.
Along the way a group of ladies wearing handmade traditional black leg warmers, embroidered overcoats, and regional hats followed our group asking a plethora of personal questions with the intention of trying to sell us trinkets later on during lunch hour.
Overall, this was the first part of our trekking adventures:
Trong video du lịch mới nhất của chúng tôi, chúng tôi liên doanh ra khỏi sự hạn chế ấm cúng của cơ sở của chúng tôi tại Sapa, Việt Nam để khám phá những làng Lao Chải nổi tiếng với nó đen Hmong bộ lạc.
Chuyến đi này hầu như không xảy ra. Bốn mươi tám giờ trước khi tôi được barfing ra khỏi mông và miệng của tôi với một trường hợp luẩn quẩn của ngộ độc thực phẩm. Mặc dù chúng tôi đã cố gắng canh bí đỏ nhiều lần, tại một nhà hàng đặc biệt này, có điều gì đó không đúng với các món canh khi tôi đã một mình vào buổi chiều. Vài ngày tới đã được chi tiêu nằm trên giường, như là tôi đã được chạy trên một chiếc xe tải mack, xen kẽ với thời gian làm việc trong phòng tắm. Nói rằng đó là không vừa ý thì đó là cách lớn. Đã được chúng tôi đã phải trì hoãn chuyến đi của chúng tôi là một ngày và có một chuyến xe lửa sắp tới Hà Nội với một chuyến bay rời khỏi đất nước, đó là ngay bây giờ hoặc không bao giờ. Mặc dù, tôi không cảm thấy bất cứ điều gì gần 100% cuối cùng tôi đặt chân của tôi xuống đưa ra quyết định cuối cùng: chúng ta sẽ!
Chúng tôi đã kết thúc tham gia một nhóm khách du lịch ở gần khách sạn nơi chúng tôi đã gặp hướng dẫn địa phương của chúng tôi. Như chúng tôi đi xuống ngã xuống là những gì một con đường khá đơn giản, chúng tôi nhanh chóng lệch đến một đường mòn hẹp xa hơn đó là khó khăn hơn của một tăng.
