Sapa Trekking Packing Lists

Packing for Sapa depends more on season than on route — rain jacket and grip shoes matter June through August; fleece and gloves for winter homestays; sun hat and water year-round. Valley treks need only a day pack; homestay guests leave main luggage in town. These guides list what our guides ask guests to carry, common packing mistakes from booking emails, and the difference between town-walk and full-day trek footwear.
