HOW TO GET TO SA PA BY YOURSELF?
One of the cheapest and most convenient way to get to Sapa is to take a night train from Hanoi to Lao Cai (SP1, SP2, LC6 are good trains). Tickets can be purchased from the train station in Hanoi. Berths come in three main classes: soft-sleeper (with or without a.c.), hard sleeper, or hard seat. Most tourists opt for the soft-sleeper. On arrival at Lao Cai station, look out for a minibus to Sa Pa. The cost of a one way trip is 30,000 Dong (approximately 2 USD). If you book in our hotel in advance, we can be there to collect you from the station.
