Excursió de 3 dies i 2 nits a la muntanya Fansipan amb acampada des de Hanoi

Very fulfilling experience and one I would recommend to everyone if you love hiking! Event flow for my trip: ~9pm: Bus pickup to main office ~10pm: Set off for Sapa on sleeper bus, with 2 stops 6am: Reach Sapa, transfer to another bus to hotel. Wash up and eat breakfast ~8+am: take a taxi to start point to start hike ~11+am: Lunch break ~3pm: Reach base camp and stay for the night, with dinner at around 5pm ~330am: breakfast, hike to peak ~5+ to 6am: reach peak waited till 830am to take the cable car down +: •Hike involved some climbing but I would say it’s pretty safe especially if the weather is good. Challenging but fulfilling to complete it. •Views are extremely worth the hike, we were lucky to have clear skies and could see the beautiful sunrise •Dinner was great -: •sleeper bus not the most comfortable but to be expected •weather was super cold at night, the 2 sleeping bags given to us was still not enough. Bring an entire set of clothes for sleep (at least 2 layers + thick socks) •bring own headlight if possible, one of us went without headlight as guide didn’t have extra

Value for money, the trek was great. Almost everything was smooth. Just standard sleeper bus provided, may not comfortable for all. There better and nicer sleeper bus though. For price paid, this is simply worth. The best part of this trek, sunrise! We had able to witness a beautiful sunrise at Fansipan summit. Probably you can see it if you taking a cable car to Fansipan. As they operate only after 7am I guess. I joined in group trek, we were 7 of us, 2 from Singapore, 2 from Vietnam, the rest from Canada, France and Malaysia (me). We had great time and good team too. A lot of steps and uphills, so better get prepared for fitness levels. I did 2D1N trek, however, don’t expect fantastic stay at their Checkpoint 3 (where u will be overnight). I hope this place should be maintained a bit better for trekker. Also, during trek I found a lot of plastic/rubbish thrown. I hope trekkers or locals should concern about environment and protect them from any kind damages. Or the government should initiate something too.

this hike was fun. you got to get to the Hanoi Train station yourself to exchange physical train ticket. you take an overnight train to Lao Cai station. the train itself was an adventure, we were given rooms with 4 bunk beds. 4 water and packet of chips were provided. the train was noisy but pretty. 6am reach Lao Cai, the driver will pick you to eat breakfast and keep luggages. 9am guide will arrive and go to mountain base to start climbing. the trek starts pretty easy and gets a little tougher but manageable. porter will carry you food up and cook for you. you can pay extra to carry your stuff. it's gets cooler as you ascend. the view will be nicer as you climb. at about 4pm we reach the 2800m camp site. it has a cook house where we eat dinner and a separate hut for sleeping, with many rooms, we have 5 pax in a room with low mats and sleeping bags provided. note that no lights or electricity is provided in the room. there is only a lamp at the walkway. toilet is there but no hot water. you wouldn't bathe as it's very cold water. the dinner served was really fantastic with local simple food. earlier on midway in the Mountain we had bun bread with luncheon meat and fruits. all good. you get to sleep very early as there's nothing to do in the night. the sky was amazing with tonnes of stars. woke at 3am clean up and ready. breakfast was served with instant noodles with fried egg in it. coffee was served. started climbing after breakfast to the peak. it was a enjoyable summit morning. cold and nice. sea of clouds. once you reach the cable cat station you can use toilet. but note that you still have another 30mins of stairs to climb. the view at the top was fantastic

1. We enjoyed our tour in Mt. Fansipan. The view is amazing even though the trail is difficult since there's a lot of ascents. 2. Our tour guide is very nice and kind. She speaks English but there are times it's pretty challenging to understand what she is saying. But overall, 5 stars for her. 3. The tour includes 5 meals, 2 breakfast, 2 lunch and 1 dinner. All the meals are good, I like the tofu with tomatoes. 4. I'll share our time record for your reference: ASCEND Jump off to campsite 6 hours Campsite to Summit 1 hour DESCEND Summit to Campsite 1 hour Campsite to Jump off 2 hours and 45 minutes TOTAL: 10 hours and 45 minutes. This time record includes taking pictures and rest most specially on the first day during ascend. 5. We hike on February, the weather is really cold, you need to dress properly, wear extra socks, heattech clothes, bonnet and gloves. 6. The tour doesn't include transportation from Sapa to Hanoi, so you have to book another bus going back to Hanoi. 7. The sleeper bus that picked us up from Hanoi to Sapa is somehow comfortable but if you're quite tall it would be challenging. 8. Please bring raincoat or poncho incase rain pours during hike, also dont forget to bring trail food and energy drinks, power banks. 9. It's an overnight hike, we slept in a house, with wooden bed. Our tour guide gave us an extra thick sleeping bag. Thanks to her. 10. Our original itinerary for the 2nd day was to wake up at 6am or 7am and reach the summit at 10am or 11am but we requested if we can wake up earlier like 4am so that we can reach the summit at 7am and reach the jump off earlier like 2pm or 3pm. Our tour guide agreed. 11. We received a medal and a certificate with our names when we reached the summit! 12. I truly recommend this tour. In case you do not want to hike going down, there's a cable car on the summit which is roughly USD30 TO USD35 per person per way.

슬리핑 버스 탑승 후,사파 도착해 탑승객들이 가이드들과 합류해 뿔뿔이 흩어졌지만, 전 가이드와 연락이 닿지 않아, 한동안 기다리다 나중에 합류했습니다. 사파지역이 통신이 불안전하니 유의하시구요. 날씨를 몰라 등산복을 어떤 것을 준비할지 몰라 헤맸는데, 가을 야간 산행용으로 준비하심 좋을 듯 합니다. 새벽3시반에 2차 산행 했는데, 안개바다로 가시거리가 확보가 어려우니, 헤드랜턴과 찬 공기 대비용 마스크 준비하시고, 발목을 감싸는 미끄러지지 않는 등산화는 필수입니다. 슬리핑백은 캠프에 비치되어 있으니 구매나 가져오실 필요 없습니다.(저는 구매했다 무게때문에 가져오지 않았습니다.)

2D1N Fansipan Trek Tour includes bus transpo from Hanoi to Sapa, 4 meals, porter and guide. Did the trek March 10-11, 2025. . The trek was by far the most uncomfortable situation I put myself into because I was not prepared for Sapa weather in March which was very cold; it was down to 3degree Celsius. . However, the tour was nice! The guide and porter were very kind; they really took good care of us. Meals were humble but already a luxury when hiking. . Bring your own sleeping bag and when hiking in Q1 of the year, prepare warm clothing. Trained yourself for unlimited assaults but trail is already established. And prepare extra cash as cable car is an option when going down.

Plan to climb Fansipan was delayed due to bad weather, and the next day it got even worse. Trekking was suspended for a few days because of the risk of landslides. I didn’t have much time, so it was either a refund or the cable car. I chose the ride, stopped halfway and hiked the last few km up the stairs. Still a nice experience, just not what I hoped for. Btw, the local organizer didn’t contact me until a day before the trip. I had no updates after booking and plenty of questions, They finally reached out through WhatsApp once I arrived in Hanoi just the day before the trip.

The Fansipan mountain tour with a train ride from Sapa offered a unique adventure. The porter’s assistance was invaluable, ensuring a smoother journey. The cold mountain hut accommodation added an authentic touch, making it a memorable experience for those seeking an adventurous escape.

Communication can be a small issue so you must really (seriously make sure) confirm about your itinerary to avoid unnecessary miscommunication-their English and your English are different. I was delayed for a day due to it. Overall, you will be updated via WHATSAPP throughout. Day 1 - boarded the sleeper bus@9.20pm Hanoi Old Quarters(the driver is no-nonsense & quite rude)(bus do stop 3 x for pee)(bus has I think 12 upper & 12 lower beds & it's comfy but only if u are 1.75m or less - I'm 1.75 & lying straight, my soles &head touches both ends of the bed)(bus set off 9.50pm). Day 2 - bus arrived at 4.15am in Sapa, cooling 20 deg, waited for about an hour before car came to pick to a hotel to wash up & put our things. everyone waited till about 7.30am to have breakfast. Miscommunication - my guide did not turn up after everyone's gone by 10++am. so I'm left alone...with many ??? so i booked a hotel (mountain queen)& spent the night there...with a nice view & breakfast. Day 3(supposedly my Day 2) - 8.45am guide pick me up on motorcycle-30min ride to starting point of hike... a)9.30am set off.

Trekking is so challenging yet quite satisfying. The tour guides are so nice and willing to help if any need. The arrangement during this trekking: 1st day: slept on a train 2nd day: arrived at Lao Cai train station - had a breakfast at hotel - 2 hours trekking - lunch - 4 hours trekking - took a rest - dinner - slept with a sleeping bag provided. 3rd day: Woke up at 5AM and had a breakfast - 2.5hours trekking - arrived at Fansipan cable station - stay there around half a day - took cable to Sapa town. For return trip, you could choose either take a cable or or by feet to trekking to Sapa town. Highly recommend to bring a head lamp, a rain coat, a jacket and a pair of slippers with you.
