Good to know
- Trails are muddy in the rainy season (about May to September); wear shoes with grip.
- Sapa is cold from December to February; bring warm layers.
- Upgrade to a Sapa hotel instead of the homestay; ask for a quote.
- Prices are per person in Canadian dollars. Vietnam uses the dong (VND); cards work in most hotels, but bring some cash for markets and tips.
