Ta Van village lies on the floor of Muong Hoa Valley, about 9\u201310 km from Sapa, where the valley widens and the Muong Hoa stream runs between broad rice terraces. It is home mainly to the Giay people, with Black Hmong and Red Dao families living in the surrounding hamlets, and it has become the most popular place near Sapa to spend a night in a homestay.<\/p>\n
The Giay are a Tai-speaking people who came to the area generations ago and are known as skilled rice farmers. Their wooden houses sit close together along the lanes of the village, and many families now welcome guests with simple rooms, home-cooked dinners and a glass of local corn or rice wine.<\/p>\n
Ta Van is livelier than Lao Chai: along the main lane and the stream you will find homestays, small caf\u00e9s, massage and herbal-bath spots and craft shops. A suspension bridge crosses the Muong Hoa stream at the edge of the village, and from the fields behind it the terraces climb towards the mountains in every direction.<\/p>\n
From Ta Van, trails continue deeper into the valley. One of the favourites climbs through terraces to the Red Dao village of Giang Ta Chai, passing through a cool bamboo forest and a small waterfall \u2014 a half-day walk with a local guide. Others follow the valley floor towards Su Pan and Ban Ho.<\/p>\n
Ta Van is part of the Lao Chai\u2013Ta Van tourist area, and visitors arriving by road usually pass a ticket checkpoint. On our Muong Hoa Valley Jeep tour, the full-day jeep and motorbike tours and the Instagram tour with female riders, you walk from Lao Chai into Ta Van and stop for coffee beside the stream before the vehicle takes you back up to Sapa.<\/p>\n
