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.
August is the peak month of typhoon and rain in the northern Vietnam. It rains very often during the month of August, especially in the mornings. It is warm in August in Sapa area, Fansipan mountain and Hoang Lien National park while it is quite hot in other places in the northern Vietnam. The average temperature in Fansipan is around 19 degree C while it is about 32 – 35 in Hanoi. The sky is clear with much sunshine. But summer shower get more. This is one of the two worst months in the year caused by summer shower. The rainfall is around 670mm. Therefore if your tour frame falls into August and that this is not flexible, you still have the opportunity to climbing up to Mt. Fansipan. In this case we recommend the overnight Fansipan trekking tour.
There are also other optional tours which can be combined with your Fansipan trekking tours if you travel to Sapa in August 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 these optional tours.
