Vietnam-Sapa(1)

Sapa(Vietnam) was a surprise journey for us. We had never imagined at this small village near Vietnam highest mountain(Fansipan), we could encounter such an amazing exotic experience.  Trekking on Day 1 (from Sapa to Sapa market to Cat-Cat + Old Power Station to I Ninh Ho to Lai Chao to Tavan) was such an exhausting but fulfilling experience. Trekking on Day 2(from Tavan to Giang Ta Chai to Supan and back to Sapa) gave us another unique experience of passing through rice terrace.  It was a great journey of both scenic and life...
