The top is on the Hoang Lien Son mountain range, which is like a special park for nature. It keeps safe a lot of different animals and plants, like more than 100 types of orchids that grow there. When you go up, you’ll notice the plants changing until you reach a forest of small bamboo near the top.

Things to Know:

– Weather can be unpredictable, especially at high altitudes. It might be muddy if it’s wet, so you’ll need to be fit to handle the trek in one day.
– If you’re too tired at the top, you can take the Cable Car down, but that’s not included in our service. You’ll need to arrange your own transport back to your accommodation.
