Topas Ecolodge  

Topas Ecolodge Customer reviews (write review)

Address:
24 Muong Hoa, Sapa, Lao Cai Province, Vietnam

Code words for our little place are simplicity, quality and character. The Ecolodge consists of 25 individual lodges placed in a circle around the hills. From the lodge there are breathtaking views across the scenic valleys below, which are home to villages of the Tay and Red Dao minorities.

Location:

Topas Ecolodge is situated in the perfect location at two cone-shaped hills set deep in the spectacular Sapa valley of Northern Vietnam. Topas Eco Lodge provides daily transportation according to schedule from Sapa to the Eco Lodge. Even though the road is under constructing some parts are still dirt road. It takes about one to one and a half hour to go from Sapa to the Eco lodge. Despite the fact that some parts are dirt road it is an interesting journey. On the way you will see daily life in the rice fields, minorities on there way to Sapa to sell handcrafts, vegetables etc.

Facilities & Services:
Restaurant:

A restaurant and a reception will provide the service needed to satisfy 50 guests at a time. In the Thai stilt house restaurant we offer a buffet three times a day. 
Sport & Leisure:
Relax

The list of things to do when visiting Topas Ecolodge is long. However, you are also welcome to just sit down and relax. Enjoy the solitude and the peaceful environment as it is. If you are more into active holiday, then Topas Adventure offers a number of activities starting from the lodge. You can book them direct at the lodge at the Topas Adventure Travel desk. 
Walking 
We define walking as easy tours on foot with duration of approximately 2-3 hours. We will have enough time to visit the nearby Red Dao village of Thanh Kim and the local school, black smith and observe the local agricultural traditions. 
Trekking
With endless trails ahead of you, trekking and exploring the area is an obvious activity to participate in. Our Ecolodge guides will lead tours to local villages and sites of interest. Should you be interested in multi-day treks just let us know - we can arrange it for you. The trekking tours are especially designed for guests staying longer that one night at Topas Ecologde. Trekking tours last 6-8 hours and will take you to remote trails and villages with cultural content, wildlife, fauna and flora and not least the minorities of Northern Vietnam. 
Silverstone View point Tour
Just behind Topas Ecolodge you will not fail to see the rough green peak called Peak Silverstone over-viewing the complete valley system. The hike up is strenuous but in clear weather the reward is worth it all.
Mountain biking 
For the more adventurous guests our quality mountain bikes are available. The mountain hills and trails are well suited for biking. But remember - down hill is fun, up hill is tough. Mountain bike tours will be arranged in groups and in two levels. Easy level tours last 2-3 hours and will bring you to local villages where you will learn about local handicraft, agriculture and social systems. Hard level tours last 6-8 hours and will bring you deep into the Hoang Lien valley.
