Near the hill tribe villages
Location: camping by the stream, along the Muong Hoa stream flowing through Cat Cat, Lao Chai, Ta Van and Y Linh Ho villages
Camping by the stream, you enjoy hearing the water murmuring night and day, gentle fresh feeling.
While setting up a camping tent, you can go down to the stream to choose some standard kitchen stone to start a fire quickly. In addition, the cool stream will be the place to play of the whole group, making you really very happy.
On top of the terraces
Location: Y Linh Ho, Lao Chai, Ta Van, Ta Phin villages… Most of the Sapa areas have terraced fields with very nice views.
If you want to camp during the rice season (Aug – Sep) to enjoy the occasional gentle smell, you need to choose a more careful location to have enough camping space without affecting the rice field. In the October season, the rice has been harvested and the field has been cleared without transplanting new rice, now it is easier to choose a beautiful view right in the middle of the terraced fields because everywhere are hills terraced fields.
Camping at this point, the best thing is that you will see the immense sky, mountains, beautiful rice fields. And you might choose a position that help you get the whole of Muong Hoa Valley into sight. Sleeping under the blue sky and inhaling the smell of rice, the smell of mud, the rural really lovely, worth experiencing.
Beside Cau May waterfall
Location: homestead gardens or waterfall grounds in Cau May.
Here, the camping site cannot be located right next to the Waterfall because of the steep and rugged terrain. Important now you need to choose a large enough ground and can see the whole of Cau May waterfall. The day before I went to Cau May waterfall, I stopped by Joy homestay to see the large garden, beautiful view, so I immediately thought of next time I wanted to camp here. The host is very happy to accept support our group if we want to camp at their garden. He said he used to received some camping groups to his home.
CAMPING IN THE FOREST
