Sapa Fansipan 3 Days/4 Nights
Tour type: Private tour.
Fansipan (3143m) which named the rooftop of Indochina; is divided into two parts which having different ecological conditions: Northwest with Son La – Moc Chau tableland; and Northeast with mountains range as a convex bow-shaped toward the East and Southeast converge to Tam Dao mountain. We strongly suggest the 3days/ 2 nights climb for this adventure – unless you are very fit and eager to have some long and quite hard days of trekking! The climbs do not demand high technical skills of the climb.
Mt. Fansipan is at 3143 meters, it is the highest mountain in Vietnam and Indochina. It is located to the west of Sapa and can only be reached on foot with 3 days of forest trekking. This trip is for those who are fit and seek a challenge and provide 360 o view of area.
