Authentic Experience of Sapa
Fansipan Mountain Climb – Touch the Roof of Indochina
Embark on an unforgettable journey through shifting forests, golden bamboo, and ancient pines as you ascend Fansipan, the highest peak in Indochina. Guided by locals and supported by caring porters, every step brings you closer to the clouds. At the summit, breathtaking views and rare orchids await — a moment of triumph you’ll never forget.

1-Day Fansipan Mountain Trek
Important: You must book and pay for this tour before 4:00 PM the day before your hike. This is so we have time to get your trekking permit for Fansipan Mountain.
Your Fansipan 1-day tour starts at 6 AM and ends around 4:00–5:00 PM in Sapa. Our guide and driver will pick you up at 6 AM from your hotel and take you to Tram Ton Pass, about 15 km from Sapa town.
Please eat breakfast before the tour or bring it with you. We do not provide breakfast.
You will start hiking from Tram Ton Pass. You will walk up through the rainforest, climbing about 1,000 meters. Along the way, you will take short breaks and have snacks.
At 2,800 meters, you will stop for a picnic lunch and take a rest.
After lunch, you will keep hiking to the top of Fansipan, which is 3,143 meters high. If the sky is clear, you will see amazing views of Sapa town and the beautiful Hoang Lien Son mountain range.
When you reach the top, your guide will give you a medal and a certificate, and take a photo to show that you made it to the highest point in Indochina!
You can take some time to enjoy the peak, visit the Buddhist temples and statues, and relax.
Then, you will hike back down to Tram Ton Pass, where the car will pick you up and take you back to your hotel in Sapa.
If you are too tired to hike back, you can choose to take the cable car and funicular back down to Sapa town. But please note: the cable car ticket is not included in the tour, and we will send a car to pick you up at the cable car station.
This tour is only for people who are physically fit.
You must stay with our local guide at all times during the hike.
If you leave the guide and hike alone, you may be fined by the national park staff.
