The trip will begin on the western side and the return journey comes down the eastern side for trekkers to challenge their strength and will, and to enjoy the diverse landscape.

Porters will carry tents, food, drinks and other necessities as well as the luggage of the participants. Professional guides will be available to help trekkers through the difficult, but enjoyable, trip to Sapa.

Mount Fansipan of Sapa Vietnam is considered the roof of Indochina and is nine kilometers south-west of the hilly town of Sapa Vietnam as the crow flies. It takes days to trek to its summit and return to Sapa Vietnam.

As one of Asia's most challenging adventures, the trek takes participants through isolated villages, rain forests and deep valleys of beautiful landscapes.

Experienced mountain climbers say the summit of Fansipan can be conquered during winter months from December to April at the right the time between cold and rainy spells caused by northeast monsoons. However, the best time for the trek is from February to March, because of dry and sunny weather and carpets of brilliant blossoms.

The trip cost, for a group of at least five people, is VND4.33mil per person and does not include airfares, expenses in Hanoi and personal expenses.
