09:00 Meet your guide at your hotel in Sapa and leave town for the starting point of the trek.
We begin with a short drive toward Cat Cat Village, then start walking downhill through beautiful mountain scenery. Along the route, you can enjoy views of terraced fields and the surrounding valley. Cat Cat is one of the best-known villages near Sapa and is especially associated with Black H’mong culture and traditional hillside scenery.
After reaching the waterfall and hydroelectric station, we take a short rest before continuing the trek along a dirt trail through the rice terraces. This section of the walk follows a scenic route toward Y Linh Ho, passing through an area of forest and cultivated mountain slopes.
We then arrive at Y Linh Ho Village, inhabited by the Black H’mong people, where we will take another short break before climbing up to the main road. A vehicle will meet us there and transfer us back to Sapa. Travel listings for this route commonly describe Cat Cat – Y Linh Ho as a half-day scenic trek with terraced fields, H’mong villages, and mountain views.
