IMPORTANT NOTE FOR SAPA TRAINS!
Dear Passengers,
Recently we have received many questions in regards to your tickets from Hanoi to Sapa. The main concern is why will you be stopped at Lao Cai Train Station in stead of Sapa Train Station while the booking mentioned that ticket is for Hanoi to Sapa?
Please be advised that Sapa is a small town located at 1500 meters (4921 feet) above sea level in Vietnam's remote northwest mountains, in Lao Cai province. So, no train station or airport could be built or operated there. That's why you will be stopped at Lao Cai Train Station - the only gateway to Sapa. The reason why we posted on the website that the route is from Hanoi to Sapa because most travellers do not know about Lao Cai but only Sapa. It'll cause you problem in searching and purchasing the ticket.
Back to the concern how to get to Sapa from Lao Cai Train Station, kindly buy the bus ticket, which is simple and easy since there're lot of buses waiting in front of the train station. It's about 38km far from Lao Cai to Sapa and takes you about 45 minutes to 1 hours to get there. Bus ticket price is ranging at 60.000 VND to 70.000 VND/ pax
