The Hmong Hill tribe typically plants their rice in June, and by July and August, the fields are lush and green, creating a stunning view for visitors. The sapa harvest season usually begins in early September, and by the end of September, the sapa harvest season is mostly complete. If you’re planning a visit to Sapa at the end of September, you might miss the vibrant green and golden hues of the rice terraces, as most of the fields will have already been harvested by that time.
However, even after the sapa harvest season, Sapa still offers beautiful landscapes and cultural experiences, such as visiting local villages, trekking through the hills, and learning about traditional practices and see the Hmong of sapa harvest season.
Y Ly Ho village is renowned for having some of the most beautiful rice terraces in Sapa, especially during the sapa harvest season. The best way to experience these breathtaking views is by trekking through the area to immerse yourself in the golden rice fields fully.
Sapa Weather Trekking Tours offers treks tailored to showcase the beauty of these landscapes, providing opportunities to explore not only Y Ly Ho but also the surrounding villages with expansive terraced fields.
