Bac Ha Market and Ban Pho Village Day Tour from Sapa
Overview
Skip the typical beach holiday and opt for a cultural trip with this tour of Bac Ha Market and Ban Pho Village! Board an air-conditioned transfer from Sapa and make your way to the most notable farming villages in the province. Enjoy the scenic view of mountain ranges, thick forests, and vibrant greenery from the comfort of your plush seat. Arrive at Bac Ha's Sunday market just in time for lunch and set your sights on the wonderful commotion that is the market crowd. Watch as the locals haggle prices with each other over various products that may seem exotic to visitors like you. Don't be intimidated by the abundance of unfamiliar items, instead, learn the culture through communication with the vendors or the buyers. After your group's mini shopping trip, your tour will then take you to Ban Pho Village. Here, you'll meet an indigenous farming community that will welcome your group with warm hospitality. Learn how they sustain themselves through agriculture and get to know them better as they share stories with you. End the tour with a ride back to your preferred drop off point.
