ITINERARY
Conquering the Roof of Indochina

Your journey begins in Hanoi, where you board an overnight limousine bus to Sapa — waking up in the cool mountain air of Vietnam's most iconic highland town. On Day 2, you lace up your boots and head into the Hoang Lien Son Nature Reserve, trekking through ancient forest trails via Sin Chai village before making camp at 2,800 meters above sea level. Day 3 is the moment you came for: a pre-dawn ascent starting at 3:30 AM, headlamps cutting through the dark as you climb toward the summit — and if the sky is clear, you'll be rewarded with a breathtaking sunrise from the Roof of Indochina at 3,143 meters, the highest peak in Southeast Asia. After descending back to Sapa, Day 4 takes you on a scenic exploration of the valley — visiting the romantic Love Waterfall, ascending the legendary O Quy Ho Pass at 2,333 meters, and trekking through the sweeping Muong Hoa Valley past the terraced rice fields of Lao Chai and Ta Van, home to the Red Dzao and Dzay ethnic communities. On Day 5, you board a sleeper bus back to Hanoi, carrying memories carved into every muscle — and every photo.

In the lucky day and the sky is clear, you can see the amazing sunrise with a fantastic view from the top of Fansipan. It’s also the time with fewer tourists from the cable car stations, so you can enjoy the scenery and take a break before descending.
