Sapa Rock Cave Village – where just one hand is needed to touch the clouds
Sapa Stone Cave is one of the hottest places to hunt clouds in Sapa – where you don’t have to work hard to climb the mountain or be crowded on Fansipan and still see the rolling white sea of clouds.
Where is the Stone Cave?
Sapa Stone Cave is probably a relatively new destination for many tourists. Because when it comes to villages in Sapa, the names Cat Cat, Ta Van , Lao Chai, etc. always appear first. However, if you have the opportunity to come to Hau Chu village, Hau Thao commune, you will discover the beautiful Hang Da village.

From the center of Sapa town to this cloud village is about 6 km. Although the distance is not too far, the journey to conquer is a bit difficult. Visitors go in the direction of Ta Van village about 3km, continue in the direction of Sapa Jade Hill Resort and ask for directions to Hau Thao. Once you have reached this commune, you can ask for directions to the village.

Because the location of Hang Da village is almost completely separate from the destinations in the central area, when coming here, visitors feel like they are “running away” from the hustle and bustle of the town. The village is blessed with picturesque scenery, but tourism in the village has not developed as strongly as other villages in Sapa. But in the near future, this village will surely be known by many people.

Like many other beautiful villages in Sapa , Hang Da village has a very fresh and cool air. Everything here is peaceful, relaxing and slow, different from the hectic pace of life in big cities. The scenery of this village is both somewhat similar and somewhat different from other villages of Sapa. Perhaps that “other” comes from the wild, natural features, not too many tourists.

During the journey in this village, you will encounter a few small shops, passing through the houses of the inhabitants of the village. This place does not have many professional services like Cat Cat village , homestay is also meager. However, perhaps because it has not been professionalized, everything still remains natural and original.

Coming to Sapa Stone Cave, it is not enough to experience walking and roaming on the roads. The most “already” here is hunting clouds in the early morning. You do not need to climb the mountain hard, do not need to spend money on the cable car to still have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the beautiful sea of white clouds in the early morning.

Here, the rattan hunting season is not specific from month to month like many other places. The sea of clouds in Ban Hang Da depends on the weather rather than appearing according to a certain season of the year. It is because of that “difficulty wetness” that not all tourists are lucky enough to see clouds in this village.

However, according to the experience of many visitors, if the weather forecast today is rainy, tomorrow is sunny, then surely “tomorrow” will be very beautiful clouds. Or on cloudy days without rain, then suddenly bright sunshine, it is likely that there is a very large white cloud waiting in the village.

In addition, if you want to know for sure when in the cloudy village to come and take pictures, you can contact the homestay owners here during your trip to Sapa. When it’s cloudy, ask them to call to notify you and just hurry to “fly” over, maybe you will see beautiful white clouds.
Notes when exploring Ban Da Cave
Hang Da village is a relatively new destination in Sapa , but not so that this place is less attractive. Only the ravishing sea of clouds in the village has created a “competitive advantage” with many other tourist coordinates in Sapa. However, the lack of many accommodation and other services causes many limitations for the village.

However, that is not why this village lacks places for tourists to stay. You can choose to stay at Rock Garden Homestay. This is one of the village’s coffee homestays that is well-invested, has a beautiful view, and has enough rest and dining services for visitors to experience.

In addition, visitors can also explore other villages and choose to stay in Cat Cat, Ta Van, etc. to immerse themselves in the crowded atmosphere in these villages. However, the best thing is still to stay one night at Ban Hang Da to really feel the beauty of nature, heaven and earth, and people in this cloud village.
