Climbing Fansipan Summit 4 days, climbing 2 nights on Train
Tripcode: VACFB4D Tucked high in Vietnam 's remote northern mountains, close to the Chinese border, the former French military outpost of Sapa offers some of Vietnam 's most colourful experiences. The views are breath taking. Vietnam 's highest peak, the 3,143-metre Mount Fansipan , looms overhead, while the surrounding valleys feature terraced rice paddies and blazing green fields cut by fast-flowing streams. Layer upon layer of green ridges fade into the distance, edged by sharp, rocky peaks. The region is home to several ethnic minority groups all wearing their traditional and colourful attire.
Sapa is a perfect back ground for trekking, hiking and climbing.
Mt. Fansipan is only 9 km from Sapa town but it takes at least three days to get to the peak and back. The top is accessible year-round to anyone, providing you are in good shape. As there are no mountain huts on the way, we will be camping. Our porters carry the equipment and food. No ropes or technical climbing skills are needed, just endurance and plenty of energy. The terrain is rugged, wet and often cold
