Majority of the region is wild and unreachable, though it owms some of the most awe-inspiring sceneries in Vietnam, dispersedly populated by a seductive mosaic of ethnic minorities. The northwest area where the highest mountain range of the country together with the highest top, Fan Si Pan, rises suddenly from the Red River Valley is the most popular choice among tourists. Within the shadow of Fan Si Pan situated Sa Pa, an easily reachable former French hill station, well known for its friendly minority peoples and for its incredible scenery providing you many trekking opportunities to distant hamlets.

East of the Red River Valley, the little-visited provinces are also worth your attention, particularly the spectacular scenery and mountain people in the edge area of Cao Bang and Ha Giang provinces. Ba Be National Park, where the largest natural lake of Vietnam hides among forested limestone cliffs and impassable jungle is also located in the northeast region. It is no surprise that the infrastructure throughout the northern mountains is poor: amenities seem to be thin on the ground, and some roads are in very bad condition. Despite all of the difficulties, this region is gradually becoming a popular destination with tourists since many Hanoi’s tour agents organize various new tours and independent travellers explore unmapped terrain by jeep or motorbike.
No matter of what means of transportation you choose ranging from public transport to your own vehicle, you normally need about six days’ actual travelling time to visit all destinations of the northwestern region.
