We change the local life to become better
We believe in building local and community-based tourism to help bring the local community out of poverty.
Our entire supply chain is carefully selected so that it benefits and strengthens the local community economy. From the trip to the trailhead, the guide, and the homestay, the food is fully run by small business owners and freelancers from the minority tribes that live and grow up in the valley.
We also pay our guide fairly. We are the first few companies that adopt a tiered payment system that ensures the tour guides benefit from the work they do.
With your support, we will create a more independent and robust community with every hike you make.
We will empower more independent women like us.

Homestay Activities – Traditional Cooking Classes & Batik Textile Workshops
During the multi-day treks we offer the option to include a traditional cooking class and/or batik textile workshop run by a member of the local Hmong community at the village of the overnight homestay (for an extra fee). We have developed these additional activities to share our local customs and to create much needed job opportunities and a source of income for our local minority people.
Traditional Cooking Class: Learn how to prepare traditional Vietnamese dishes and the traditional sticky rice dish of the local Hmong ethnic minority people.
Batik Textile Workshop: A local artisan demonstrates the traditional Batik technique used by the local ethnic minorities and then helps you to create your own Batik pattern on woven hemp cloth.

My partner and I had a wonderful experience trekking Sapa! Mai and her team help us navigate the villages and take us to a great local restaurant in Lai Chau. Our guide Sue has great knowledge of the area and very friendly! She has great English 😊

We had a wonderful day trekking up Fansipan mountain with an extremely kind and experienced tour guide. Our guide also had great snacks throughout the trek and a lovely lunch for us at the top.
Mai was very easy to work with.
We had an incredible experience with Mai and her team.

Had three amazing treks with Sapa Weather. Met some lovely guides from the local communities, they were so informative and made each tour so special! We had a relaxing night at the Homestay where we luckily did the local cooking course and batik making, they were awesome! Would recommend to anyone who wants an authentic trekking and Homestay experience in Sapa!!

We did a few different tours with Sapa Weather and they were absolutely amazing! On each walk we saw different parts of the valley and villages - it was so beautiful and felt really well tailored to us 🙂 At the overnight homestay we tried the cooking class and batik workshop - it all turned out surprisingly well which must be a testament to the teaching! Mai, our guide was wonderful and taught us so much about the local way of life and her hopes for her community - these tours really made our stay in Sapa special, we would highly recommend Sapa Weather Trekking Tours!
