This expedition seamlessly weaves together discovery, adrenaline-pumping adventure, and meaningful cultural exchanges.

As night falls, experience the simplicity of sleeping in a cozy sleeping bag within a rustic tin-roofed mountain lodge, devoid of electricity and WiFi. Your guides will treat you to a unique culinary experience, crafting simple yet delectable meals, and the evening will be aglow with the warm light of handheld flashlights. Join us for a trek that transcends expectations, where the camaraderie of indigenous guides and the shared warmth of an evening meal, illuminated by the soft glow of handheld flashlights, become cherished memories on the path to the summit.
We will pick you up in Hanoi and start the journey to Sapa. You can choose to use a sleeper bus or a private car to have a comfortable and suitable schedule.
The journey starts at 22:00
At 4:30, you will arrive in Sapa. We’ll take a short break at the guesthouse, followed by breakfast at 7:30. The driver will pick you up at 8:00 and take you to the trekking point at Tram Ton, at an elevation of 1900m, where you’ll go through the necessary procedures to obtain permits from the Hoang Lien Son National Park management.
The journey begins by ascending the initial steps to enter the old-growth forest, adorned with centuries-old giant trees. Traverse cool, refreshing streams and follow the narrow paths, perhaps encountering herds of buffalo or goats owned by local ethnic minorities or mingling with fellow trekkers on the same route.
Around 11:00, you’ll reach an elevation of 2200m. Take a break and enjoy a lunch prepared by our local guide, featuring regional fast foods like colorful sticky rice, baguettes, grilled meat, fresh fruits, and purified water.
Continuing the trek, you’ll conquer gentle slopes, pass through meadows, and breeze through windy, cool hills. Rest assured as your belongings are carried by porters throughout the journey.
By around 5:00 PM, you’ll reach the designated campsite. Basic tin-roofed shelters are available, though somewhat aged, and you’ll utilize sleeping bags for warmth. Dinner, prepared by local indigenous people, typically consists of hot pot dishes accompanied by local wine. While lacking modern amenities, you’ll be served with utmost care and warmth by the locals, making for a memorable evening in the heart of nature.
Rise with the first light for a thrilling adventure – packing, breakfast, and the kick-off at around 4:30 AM. This leg might be shorter, but the early start brings its own set of challenges. Fear not, you’ll be equipped with a trusty flashlight and surrounded by fellow intrepid explorers.
Journey through enchanting bamboo forests and azalea-covered slopes, culminating in a triumphant arrival at the Fansipan summit by 7:30 AM. The Sunworld Legend tourist area awaits, a realm where cultural vibrancy unfolds through unique experiences. Traditional temples and monumental Buddha statues add an extra layer of grandeur to the already majestic Fansipan scenery.
The pinnacle moment is reached when you touch the summit – Fansipan, the rooftop of the Indochina region. Receive a well-deserved commemorative medal and a certificate proudly proclaiming your conquest, courtesy of the national forest management.
Take about an hour to soak in the awe-inspiring views before descending. For those seeking extra leisure, consider the cable car descent option (though the fee is not included).
Expect to reach Tram Ton around 4:00 PM if descending on foot, with a return to Sapa by 5:00 PM. Following this, indulge in some well-deserved rest, a soothing massage, a traditional ethnic bath, and a delectable dinner.
As the clock strikes 10:00 PM, we’ll embark on the journey back to Hanoi. This adventure promises not just conquest but a symphony of unforgettable experiences.
After dinner, you’ll have leisure time to explore the night charm of Sapa – the square, the culinary streets, Sapa Lake, and the Stone Church are all noteworthy places. Following this, you’ll sleep on the bus, and we’ll arrive in Hanoi at 5:00 AM.
The journey concludes with unforgettable memories. Looking forward to meeting you again on future exciting adventures.
Thank you so much.
