Description

Fansipan Conquering 2 Days 1 Night

At 3143m, Mount Fansipan is the highest peak in Vietnam and the entire Indochina peninsula. This adventure trekking offers a lot of things to explore, 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. When we ascend through the foot of  Fansipan, we will pass terraced rice paddies and villages of the H’mong– one of Vietnam’s many ethnic minorities. Giant old pine trees and expanses of yellow bamboo mark the higher reaches of our climb and we may see the mountain goats and monkeys along the way. 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 are locals. They have deep knowledge about the different hill-tribe cultures. We pass along the way will add to the uniqueness of this exhilarating journey.
