Sapa, Vietnam

Offered in: English

What makes this tour unique is that it’s not just a hike—it’s a true adventure to the highest point of Indochina.

You’ll take on the challenge of reaching Mount Fansipan’s 3,143 m summit, following wild trekking paths that few travelers experience. Unlike the cable car route, this journey leads you through untouched rainforests, towering bamboo groves, and rugged alpine trails, where every step feels raw and authentic.

Along the way, you’ll discover the rich ecosystem of Hoang Lien National Park, spot unique flora and fauna, and see the landscape transform as you climb higher. The highlight, of course, is standing at the Roof of Indochina, where the panoramic views stretch endlessly across Vietnam, Laos, and China.

It’s a physically demanding trek, but the sense of accomplishment at the summit is unforgettable. For adventurous travelers, this is the ultimate way to experience Sapa—challenging, rewarding, and truly one of a kind.
