Fansipan Peak is now a familiar name to many climbers. Conquering Fansipan peak can be implemented through Sapa tours provided by a reliable and professional tourism company or by the climbers themselves with the support of the natives.
The climbing route may start from Hanoi to Lao Cai by train over distances of 333 km and from Lao Cai to Sapa by car over 38 km, then from Sapa to Tram Ton Pass or Cat Cat village by car or motorbike. It is here where there are a large number of ethnic people such as Mong, Dao serving the climbers. The most appropriate climbing time is from September to March. However, the road to Fansipan peak is the most beautiful at the end of February, when the flowers start blooming all over the mountain. It takes 2 – 3 days for the entire climbing process from climbing up to the peak to climbing down to the foot of the mountain. Indochina tours Vietnam
