Fansipan
Mt. trekking
4 days
INTRODUCTION
|
Are you interested in trekking? If you are, this tour is a
big challenge for you. Try your best to climb to the
roof of Indochina - Fansipan Mountain. At 3143m Mt.
Fansipan is the highest peak in Vietnam and the entire
Indochina peninsula. This remote trek provides plenty to
see and absorb, from the scattered rocks inscribed with
drawings and designs of unknown origin, to the French
influenced hill retreat town of Sapa with its minority
groups, beautiful
villas and cherry forests. Our trek to
the top of Mt. Fansipan is challenging and will be fully
supported every step of the way by our guides, porters
and cooks who's local knowledge and understanding of the
different hill-tribe cultures we pass along the way will
add to the uniqueness of this exhilarating journey.

Day
1: Overnight train to Sapa
In the evening our guide picks you up from the
hotel. Transfer to railway station for a 10 hour
night train to Sapa.
Day 2 : Sapa
Arrive at Lao Cai train station early in the
morning, from where you will be picked up and
transfer to Sapa (35km - about 1 hour drive).
Check-in the hotel. The guide will provide you
with more information about the trek. The rest
of the day is at your own leisure and free
exploration.
Sapa, 1,650m above the sea, a magical
combination of alpine landscape, ethnic
cultures, and bracing mountain air, was built as
a hill station inside a beautiful valley in
1922. It's home of various hill-tribe
communities, it's the only place in Vietnam that
catches extremely rare snow flakes in winter,
the base to start any conquest to Fansipan, the
highest peak of Indochina (3,143m) via primitive
forests and spectacular mountainsides. As in
other far mountainous towns, where the hill
tribal villages take some days to move to one
another, Sapa has a weekend market, during which
the town fills up with hill tribal people
selling their wares. If you prefer to be apart
from crowds of visitors who will also gather in
the marketplace in weekend, visit Sapa on
weekdays and hike to villages which are easily
reached by trekking or a short trip by car, to
reach the villages and hamlets of the
colourfully-dressed Hmong, Red Dzao, Dzay, Tay
and Xa Pho people and spectacular green terraced
fields along the roads.
Day 3:
Fanxipan trek
Start at 09:00
you travel by car toward the Silver Waterfall
