Sapa Homestay Treks
A Sapa homestay is an overnight in a village family home after a full valley walking day — shared meals, simple bedding, early morning mist, and routines that follow the household, not a hotel schedule. Main luggage stays in Sapa town; you carry a small pack only. These guides cover day-by-day pacing, bathroom expectations, what hosts provide, seasonal temperatures at night, and how homestays differ from town guesthouses.
