At Cat Cat Village, look out for tubs of indigo dye used to colour the hemp cloth used in the traditional Black H'mong dress. Cat Cat Waterfall is just below the village and only a short walk.

For longer walks in this area there are two main options. From near the waterfall, a path takes you up a series of steep concrete steps, circling part of the valley, before dropping down hill towards a bridge.The road then climbs back up the hill towards Sa Pa town. If you don’t fancy the walk back up the hill, motorbikes are available to transport you back to the hotel.

Sin Chai is another Black H'mong village further on from Cat Cat. After an hour or so of walking, the main paved road becomes a dirt path: this is the beginning of Sin Chai Village. Look out for the water buffalo taking their afternoon bath!

Sin Chai and Cat Cat Village can be combined into a full day trek and extended to take in Silver Waterfall and Tran Phrom Pass

Located in the centre of Sa Pa, from here you can see the whole panorama of Sa Pa town. Ideal for walking (2.5 hours round trip). Discover the artificial orchid garden and enjoy the art show program of the ethnic minority groups.
