What to pack for Sapa Trek ?

A good preparation is the beginning of a nice trip, Sapa hit the nail on the head. There is a list of specific things to pack for trekking in Sapa due to the unpredictable weather and unstable trekking paths. It will be a long route, so just bring along the most essential items to reduce unnecessary weight.

Rain jacket: It can be difficult to predict the weather during your trek. A lightweight, easily foldable rain jacket is a must-have. You can find one in any market in Hanoi or Sapa.
Backpack cover or waterproof backpack: In case it rains, these will be extremely useful to protect your valuable equipment, such as your camera or smartphone.
Comfortable hiking shoes: The trail can be super muddy, rough, and narrow in some parts. Therefore, a durable, comfortable pair of shoes can protect your feet well against sliding and falling. Water-resistant ones are even better since you might need to cross small streams.
Water bottles: It goes without saying that you don’t want to be thirsty and exhausted during your trek. Bring double the amount of water you think you’ll need.
Trekking hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen: In high altitude areas, the ultraviolet index is immensely high and can do more harm than good. Wear them even when it’s not too sunny.
Insect repellent: In a place covered by jungles, you will be provided with a mosquito net at night. However, during the day, apply some insect repellent to get rid of itchy rashes when you return.
First aid kit: Always carry a first aid kit.
Clothes appropriate for the season: Appropriate clothes are essential for a convenient and smooth trip.
