Viet Dan Travel is pleased to introduce to our valued partners and travelers a captivating destination that is gaining remarkable attention on Vietnam’s tourism map – Chai Ta Van Village, located in Ta Van Commune, Sa Pa Town, Lao Cai Province.

Recently, the prestigious Hong Kong-based newspaper South China Morning Post (SCMP) listed Ta Van among Asia’s most beautiful hilltop villages, alongside renowned destinations in Bhutan, China, Nepal, and India. This recognition not only marks a proud moment for Vietnam’s tourism but also presents an opportunity for international visitors to explore the authentic charm of the Northwest highlands.

Situated just 12 km from Sa Pa’s town center, Ta Van nestles peacefully in the picturesque Muong Hoa Valley – famed for its endless rice terraces, winding streams, and traditional stilt houses hidden in the morning mist. Unlike more commercialized areas, Ta Van retains its genuine rhythm of life and the rich cultural identity of the Giay and H’Mong ethnic groups.

Travelers to Tả Van can immerse themselves in the daily lives of local people through authentic homestay experiences – cooking traditional dishes, learning to weave brocade, or joining farming activities. Surrounded by breathtaking nature and fresh mountain air, Tả Van offers the perfect retreat for those seeking slow, meaningful, and immersive travel.

For travelers from India and the Middle East, Sa Pa is now fully equipped to meet their needs. Renowned hotels like Pao’s Sapa Leisure Hotel and Silk Path Grand Resort & Spa Sapa not only meet 4–5-star international standards but also offer Indian-friendly services: vegetarian options, beef/pork-free meals, and flexible menus tailored to guests’ preferences. Popular Indian restaurants such as Sapa Cuisine Indian Restaurant, Little India Sapa, and Namaste Omar’s Indian Restaurant are also operating smoothly and receiving high ratings on global travel platforms.

The best time to visit Ta Van is during the water season (May–June) or the golden rice harvest (September–October). During these months, the valley is dressed in its most vibrant hues, leaving visitors in awe of its natural splendor.
