Train schedule from Lao Cai (Sapa) to Hanoi

There are both daytime and overnight sleeper trains from Lao Cai to Hanoi. You may prefer to take a privately-run sleeping car to Hanoi. In addition to the normal Vietnamese Railways sleepers and seats, overnight trains SP2, SeP4 and SP8 between Lao Cai and Hanoi convey a bewildering range of privately-run deluxe sleeping-cars for tourists.

Vietnam Railways operates some of the cars on these trains, but other cars in the train are operated by private companies (Hara, Tulico, King Express, Fanxipan, Livitrans, TSC and many others). If you want extra comfort and cleanliness, go for one of these private cars as they’re all significantly better than the standard cars.

Below is the train schedule from Lao Cai (Sapa) to Hanoi: Trains SP2, SP4, SP8 and LC4.
