Day 1: Sapa – Park Rangers Station (L, D)
Activities: Have breakfast at your Sapa hotel, then climb to Fansipan Mountain and learn about the biodiversity at the Park Ranger’s station
We begin this tour at a practical time of 09:00 am. After meeting both your guide and driver, we are transferred by car, a short distance of 15km to begin the start of the climb to Fansipan Moutain.
We start the climb at the Park Rangers’ Station at a height of 2,000m. Throughout this climb, we can observe and learn about the local cardamom plants, and the uses they have for this local area.
Local birds can also be seen throughout this walk, with seasons varying, and the time of year you visit. As we trek up to the height of 2,200m, we relax with a picnic lunch. We then keep on trekking up to the height of 2,800m, taking in the spectacular views along the way. After setting up camp for the night, dinner is cooked on the campfire. Ready to unwind from the day, you will find yourself sleeping soundly, while nestled in amongst the rugged beauty of the mountains.
Day 2: Top of Fansipan (B, L)
Activities: Climb to the top of Fansipan Mountain, then trek back down to Tram Ton Pass before returning to Hanoi by train
With an early rise of 6.30-7.00am, we have breakfast together before we undertake the final ascent to the very top of Fansipan Mountain. Around 10.00-10.30am, we can celebrate the victorious achievement as we arrive at the very top, 3,143m above sea level. Take some time out, as you absorb the combination of the fresh crisp air, and beautiful views while overlooking Sapa town, admiring its thick green forestry landscape.
After enjoying the remarkable views, we commence the descent to 2,800m and enjoy a picnic lunch around 01:30pm. Feeling revitalised after the break, we trek back down to Tram Ton Pass at 2,000m, where our driver awaits and we are transferred back to Sapa Town.
