Fansipan mountain โ the roof of Indochina has long become a โmeccaโ that tourism lovers wish to once conquer. However, 3,143 meters above sea level is quite a challenge for everyone to study carefully before starting the journey.
Despite being only 9km away from Sapa town, it takes at least 2 to 3 days to complete the journey to the Peak of Fansipan without cable car tourism. All trekkers need to be assisted by a local guide, who can be found conveniently at Hanoi or Sapa travel agencies. The starting point of the climb is already 1,800m above sea level, to which you will be probably introduced to the guide. The guides mostly come from the hillside tribes, who are true locals with many years of climbing experience. He will help travelers register with security posts before embarking on the climb.
Fortunately, climbing Fansipan is basic, there is no rough condition that requires ropes or technical climbing skills. Walking through the forest at this point (when you just started the climb) is kind of joyful. The first few kilometers offer a fair amount of descending and a few river crossings, with beautiful landscapes and comfortable weather. Lunch stop at Camp No. 1 will be your first target. Aside from the first stop, there are no designated rest stops along the way until trekkers reach the second camp, not to mention the climb increases in steepness and technicality after Camp No. 1. Hence, try to pack yourself with enough energy. During the second path, you will have to climb ladders, balance on small footrests, and handgrips while traversing across rock faces. There would be a few tricky situations to conquer. But there is always the magnificent view of nature for your soul, as you keep climbing higher, it gets a better view and your goal appears slowly to your eyes. Reaching Camp No.2, you can rest through the night, spending quality time setting a bonfire with new friends who are climbing too. Camp No. 2 had the same 10 rooms sharing a tin roof. Sleeping bags are provided inside each room. However, toilets are communal, there is no electricity and only a few taps. Early in the next morning, about 3 a.m., you may start heading to the summit for sunrise at about 5.15 a.m.
Simply being spectacular, sunrise over Nothern Vietnam appears to your eyes at its most beautiful. After taking your time to feel all the paid-off effort at the famous summit, you can check out two temples located in the area. Restrooms with hot water faucets are there for you to freshen up.
Most of Fansipan is covered by dense forests, which get hot and humid during the day but significantly drop temperature after sunset. Before the trip, you should need to pack your back carefully to โsurviveโ in both situations. The food supply is limited during the journey, you may want to bring some light canned food for more options. There are 2 camps for your rest during the trips, however, a good guide will let you rest for 10-15 minutes after 1-2 hour climbing at an eye catchy spot, so your rest is not a waste of time. Electricity is not available during the whole trip, hence, remember to bring your power bank if you wish to take nice pictures from the summit by your phone.
