2D1N Fansipan Mountain Hiking Small Group Tour From Sapa

If Europe has The Alps, Vietnam has Mt. Fansipan. This “Tonkinese Alps” serves as the highlight of all in Sapa, the premier trekking base of Vietnam. Gaining its reputation as the Roof of Indochina, Mt. Fansipan is king of all hiking trails in Vietnam, Laos & Cambodia, intimidating all other peaks with its 3,143m-tall stature.

You will be traversing up and down the ridges, sometimes covered with vegetation, sometimes exposed to the sun. This trail is an everyday norm for locals as young as 15 years old to hunt for food, and gather woods and herbs for a living. Do you think you are fit enough to take on the challenge?

Disconnect to connect. Taking a 2-day journey into Mt. Fansipan disconnects you from the hustles & bustles of the city while immersing you with the peace and serenity of nature. You’ll see different kinds of plants along the way, spot a variety of bird species and smell the crisp mountain scent. Are you a nature-lover willing to leave the comforts of the city?
