To successfully conquer the highest peak, mountaineers need to be in good shape and properly equipped with such things as sleeping bags, waterproof tents, food, stove, raincoat, compass and other miscellaneous survival gear.
Trekking to the Fansipan mountain can be arranged in two days, three days, four days or even longer since the trek can be arranged based on your trip length and budget. There are some local people who can climb to the summit and get back to Sapa town in the same day.
The overnight trek starts with a car transfer from Sapa town up to the Tram Ton, the Heaven’s Gate. The uphill drive takes about one hour before you get into the Hoang Lien Nature Reserve. From there you follow a small hiking trail, hiking in the jungle until you arrive at the height of 2900m altitude where you stop for overnight. The second day, you continue hiking up to the summit of Fansipan where you will spend some time to celebrate the victory before taking the same hiking trail to get back to the entrance of the Hoang Lien National park. There you will be picked up by your vehicle and transferred back to Sapa town.
The second Fansipan trek is also the most popular Fansipan trekking tour takes 3 days. This trek is more challenging. You begin your adventure from Sapa town, hiking through H’mong villages before entering the Hoang Lien National Park. You will reach the summit on the second day. After reaching the top, you trek back towards Sapa town taking another hiking trail. You arrive back Sapa town on third day. There is no support vehicle for this option.
The four-day tour is less challenging than the three-day trek as you take another hiking trails where there is less up and downhill climbs. Taking this option, you firstly sneak through local Black H’mong and Red Dzao villages, spend two night in camping tent before you get to the summit of the Indochina, Fansipan mountain. You take another hiking trail to get back to Sapa town.
Although May is the beginner of the summer, the rainy season May is a very good month to climb up to Mt. Fansipan, the summit of Indochina. There is quick shower occasionally. The sky is clear with more sunshine. The average temperature is around 17 degree C. The rainfall is around 285mm. The weather is very nice during the early days of the month. Indeed, this kind of weather is very good for planning an adventure trip to Fansipan mountain Vietnam.
If you already plan your trip to Fansipan in May, we highly recommend either the overnight trek or the three-day trek which includes one or two way car transfer from Sapa town the entrance of the Hoang Lien National park. You will only spend one or two days to trek to the summit and one more day for the return.
There are also other optional tours which can be combined with your fansipan trekking tours if you travel to Sapa in May such as visit to a ethnic highland market, do a mountain bike tour, take a river boat trip on the Chay river…The fansipan trekking tours can also be extended with some more short treks around Sapa.
