ITINERARY
Day 01
LAO CAI – PARK RANGER’S STATION (2000M) – MOUNTAIN CAMP (2800M)
Meet up at Lao Cai Train Station at 600am or Sapa town at 7am the morning by our friendly local representative. In Sapa, you will deposit you main luggage for safe-keeping and have your breakfast. After that, you will meet your mountain guide and together take a short drive (15km) to Park Rangers’ Station at Tram Ton Pass to start your Mount Fansipan adventure.
Throughout the climb, you can observe and learn about the local cardamom plants. Depending on the season and time of the year, you will get to see local birds and other animals. As you trek up to the height of 2200m, you will stop for a picnic lunch. You then keep on trekking up to the height of 2800m where you will camp for the night. As you unwind from the day’s hike, dinner will be served. Have an early night rest.

MOUNTAIN CAMP (2800M) – FANSIPAN SUMMIT (3143M) – SAPA – LAO CAI
Rising early at 630-700am, you will have breakfast before undertaking the final ascent to the very top of Mount Fansipan. Around 1000-1030am, it is time to celebrate the victorious moment of reaching the summit of Mount Fansipan – a height of 3143m above sea level. Take some time to absorb the fresh crisp air and beautiful views while overlooking Sapa town, admiring its thick green forestry landscape. After enjoying the remarkable views, we commence the descent to 2800m and enjoy a picnic lunch. You then continue the trek back down to Tram Ton Pass at 2000m where you will receive your certificate of achievement and medal.
