Though only officially established and beginning operation in 2007, Vietdiscovery has already created a famous brand name for itself, not only in Sapa (Lao Cai province) but also nationwide. In addition to successful development and organization of international and domestic tours in a professional manner, Vietdiscovery provides tourists with wonderful experiences of enjoying splendid scenery through adventure mountain climbing tours and unique features of mountain ethnic people.

Mr Do Trong Nguyen, the company’s director, shares that adventure tourism in Vietnam is still new. To organize such tours successfully is not a simple task. Thorough preparation, including provision of basic information and necessary equipment for tourists during the tours, is required. The company has successfully held a lot of adventure mountain climbing tours for young tourists passionate about making discoveries. Together with Vietdiscovery, tourists will be entitled to explore the amazing and mighty beauty of the Northwest, Sapa and experience the unique cultural identities of ethnic minority people in mountain villages where traditional living lifestyle is preserved.
Furthermore, Vietdiscovery offers tourists chances to taste delicious and new food and see valuable cultural features.

Located in the heart of the town and designed with unique local architectural features, Vietdisovery restaurants serve guests with such specialties as Thang co, salmon hot pot, sturgeon, local chicken, local pig, sticky rice and bacon, all prepared with unique, local ingredients and herbs.
Particularly, every Friday and Saturday night, tourists will delight in the wonderful atmosphere of local music performances organized by the restaurants. In the often cool weather of Sapa, they gather around the delicious hot pot of Thang Co, sipping a glass of apple/maize wine flavoured with forest leaves and letting their souls indulge in local melodies.
