Our trek begins by leaving the town of Sapa behind, descending through terraced fields and local marketplaces. We soon pass through the Hmong village of Cat Cat, where traditional wooden houses dot the landscape, pigs roam freely, and children greet visitors with curious smiles.

Reaching the Linh Ho River at 1,200 meters, we carefully cross a narrow bamboo bridge, a thrilling moment that feels worlds away from the city. From there, the trail leads upward into the dense, misty rainforest, where the canopy overhead filters the sunlight and muffles the sounds of the outside world. The terrain grows steeper as we climb, but the tranquil ambiance of nature and the rhythm of the trail keep us moving.

By late afternoon, we reach our secluded camping spot at 2,200 meters. Here, surrounded by ancient trees and the soothing sounds of the jungle, your guide and cook set up a cozy camp and prepare a delicious evening meal. As night falls, you’ll enjoy the symphony of nocturnal wildlife—an unforgettable soundtrack to your first night in the mountains.

We start out very slowly with a minor descend, before we again move upwards. If we are lucky, we might see some of the giant butterflies living around here, reaching a size of 25cm. At around 2400m the rainforest gradually gives way to huge, succulent bamboo, passing we reach a ridge at 2,900m, and now have magnificent view down through the long Spa valley, over the area we just have passed, to the mountain range on the other side. At an altitude of 2400m, the porters put up our camp for the next 02 nights. There is a fine view from here, and this wills our base camp, from this we start the final ascend the next morning.

After an early breakfast, we set out on the final ascend. A few steep stretches must be passed, but nothing insurmountable, and at the lunchtime, we reach the summit at 3,143m. We now stand at the highest point of Viet Nam, and the view is stunning, to the North in to China as well as to South and Laos, and the mountainous area with Dien Bien Phu in between. Time for a good long break, before we return to our base camp at 2,400m.
