Staying in a local village for a night can be a great experience as can longer treks over the 2 or 3 nights to more remote areas.  

Note: The information provided in this review was correct at time of publishing but may change. For final clarification please check with the relevant service

Several Hanoi and Sapa based tour operators offer treks that include an overnight stay in a minority village. Like most things in Sapa, you can select the degree of difficulty that suits.   These are a great way to get a closer look at village life and get away from the more touristy spots. Longer 2, 3 and 4 night treks are also popular and use local villages throughout for accommodation.
