Northern Vietnam in 6 Days: Sapa Trek, Hanoi Food Tour & Cooking Class

Six days across Hanoi and Sapa, mixing city food culture with mountain scenery in the north of Vietnam. You get a proper feel for both the capital's street life and the terraced hills further out.

In Hanoi you walk the old streets and go on a local food tour, then head up to Sapa for rice terraces, ethnic communities and some of the country's best mountain views, including a trip up Fansipan, the highest peak in Vietnam. There's also a choice between a cooking class and a coffee workshop, so you can pick whichever suits your interests.

It's an easy-paced introduction rather than a deep dive, good if you want a taste of both Vietnamese food culture and northern landscapes without a long trip.
