★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 28 reviews · from $185

Start early in Sapa and ride to Tram Ton Pass for a 24 km hike to Mount Fansipan, Indochina’s highest peak at 3,143 meters. You’ll walk through rolling hills, forests, and changing mountain terrain, eat lunch near noon, then descend to Sapa by late afternoon. Strong fitness and weather-ready gear are essential.

“We had such a great time in Sapa, it was great with beautiful landscape and lovely people. Unfortunately our guide, who was very sweet by the way, was rushing and wouldn't explain a lot of things. We had to ask questions and ask for stops to take pictures and take our time to enjoy the place we were in. Except from that, highly recommand the 2 day trek in Sapa with the Black Hmong trisbensmen.”
