Sapa Travel Guide via Photos

The hill tribes of Sapa cultivate their crops on terraces on mountain slopes that could be breathtaking if you happen to visit the area at the right time: in late May and early June when the terraces are filled up with water and local farmers start transplanting rice, and in late September and early October when the rice gradually turns into golden colors. Paradissa operates photographic holidays to Sapa during these 2 wonderful periods so that shutterbugs will have lovely photographs of Sapa's landscape and people.
