Our location
The setting of Topas Ecolodge is truly the stuff dreams are made of. Surrounded by a dramatic scenery of mountain peaks and lush valleys filled with rice, corn, and wheat, you’ll find us within the boundaries of Lao Cai province’s Hoang Lien National Park, which encompasses an area of 30 km2 and stretches all the way south from just outside of Sapa town.
There are a number of ways to reach us, depending on your budget and schedule, the most comfortable of which is our join-in shuttle service which completes a daily journey from Hanoi to Topas Ecolodge within 5 hours before returning to Hanoi.
All aboard the Topas Mountain Express!
The Topas Mountain Express features eight comfortable, spacious seats and is equipped with private reading lights, Wi-FI, personal rechargeable USB ports, refillable water, and snacks for your convenience.
Our experienced and professional drivers will ensure you have a smooth and comfortable journey up (and down!) the mountains, as well as opportunity to stretch your legs and use the restroom approximately halfway between Hanoi and Topas Ecolodge (the 2.5h mark).
