Fansipan - the highest mountain of Indochina wih 3.143m. Until now I don't believe I have conquered it. It spent 2 days 1 night to conquer. My friend and I have started at Tram Ton ( the way for the beginners) ^^ and have take rest lunch at 2200m, spend night at 2800m. it's lack of water, foods, electric and... More

I did the trek in one day also.Im not that fit and even started two hours late because of a delayed booking. We made it up and back in eight hours, 1 hour to camp 1, two hours more to camp 2, lunch for 30 mins and then an hour to the top.After the top returned to camp 2 and... More

I did this as a one day hike. In hindsight I think the cost was too much considering the guide really doesn’t do any guiding. But since I was alone they said it cost more. The trail is clearly marked and I really think you could just take a taxi up to the start, get your permit, and go on... More

I did the three day trek with my brother in Feb 2005. We opted for three day as I haven't hiked before so wasn't sure what to expect but i would strongly recommend the two day trip. The trip started by being picked up at 10am from our hotel and driven to a base park. It was a reasonably long... More

It was cold and uncomfortable during the night. We were in a rush and we were not prepared for being tired, hungry, and cold. Please do take at least 2 days to hike, and if you can afford the room, bring some good quality sleeping bags/pads and clothes!

We went with Sapa Global Tours. Our guide (Thung) was excellent, as was our porter (Thinh). The camps are a little basic but not too bad. We managed to summit it in one day, stay at the summit camp overnight, then walk down in the morning and early afternoon. Bring your own sleeping bag (we went in winter and it... More

In Jan 2012, my wife and I paid USD40 each to the snobbish short lady manager from Queen Hotel after checking several hotels and tour agencies for the price for private tour. It seems that it may save time haggling by just quoting the standard price you want, and that they will let you know if they can meet it... More

We booked our climb up Fansipan with our hotel. She assured us that $70 was the going rate, anywhere you asked. We looked around, and sure enough all we were told is $70. We booked it for New Years Day. Strange as it was, our tour guide Sun, didn't pick us up from our hotel until 9:30am. We thought this... More
