SAPA TOUR 2 DAYS 1 NIGHT (Fansipan + Morning Bus)
Tour Overview
ABOUT FANSIPAN MOUNTAIN
Lying at an altitude of 3,143m above sea level, the peak of Fansipan is dubbed the “Roof of Indochina”. Sun, clouds, wind, and mountain seem to consist of a harmonious and colorful chorus. Gazing down the fairy scenery at sunrise as well as sunset would always be an unbeatable experience for those who love nature.
Surrounding Sapa are the Hoang Lien Mountains, dubbed the Kinkiness Alps by the French. These mountains include the often-cloud-obscured Fansipan (3143m), Vietnam’s highest peak. Fansipan is accessible year-round to sensibly equipped trekkers in good shape with a guide, but don’t underestimate the challenge. It is very wet and can be perilously slippery and generally cold.
For the satisfaction of earning that view, the summit of Fansipan is 19km by foot from Sapa. The terrain is rough and adverse weather is frequent. The round trip usually takes three days; some experienced hikers do it in two days, but you’ll need to be fit. After walking through hill-tribe villages on the first morning, it’s just forest, mountain vistas, and occasional wildlife, including monkeys, mountain goats, and birds. Weather-wise the best time is from mid-October to mid-December, and in March when wildflowers are in bloom. Don’t attempt an ascent if Sapa’s weather is poor, as limited visibility on Fansipan can be treacherous.
No ropes or technical climbing skills are needed, just endurance. There are a few rudimentary shelters at a couple of base camps en route, but it’s better to be self-sufficient with a sleeping bag, waterproof tent, food, stove, raincoat, compass, and other miscellaneous survival gear. It’s important to carry out all your garbage, as some of the camps are now impacted by rubbish. Hiring a reputable guide is vital (and a legal requirement, some claim), and porters are also recommended.
