The original lodge was built in 2013 by one of Nam Cang’s oldest Red Dzao minority families who have lived in the village for four generations. Prior to building the lodge, the family worked in agriculture and woodwork. Then, when Sapa’s tourism scene emerged, the family partnered with Topas to accommodate guests from all over the world, sharing lovingly prepared meals and authentic interactions.
Since 2019, the lodge is now fully owned and operated by Topas Explorer Group, incorporating all of these original aspects with modern updates to the facilities and excursions.
