Overview
Available languages
48 hours
Mobile ticket
In this tour, you will be taken by our experienced local guide to the heights of the Hoang Lien Son mountain range.
You will see the change in the vegetation with the mountain’s altitude. Giant, centuries-old pine trees and expanses of yellow bamboo mark the higher reaches of our climb, and we may see mountain goats and langur monkeys along the way.
This climb is a challenge for you to break your limits. However, don’t worry. With the support of the porters, you will be guided by our dedicated guide through each specific step to conquer the roof of Indochina.
The peak is on the Hoang Lien Son mountain range, which has the status of a nature reserve. It protects the great diversity of animal and plant life, including over 100 hundred varieties of orchids that flourish in this unique ecosystem. You can see the vegetation change as you trek higher, culminating in a forest of dwarf bamboo near the top.

2 day trek in Mt. Fansipan + 1 day trek in rice fields of Sapa

5.00We had a wonderful 2 day trek in Mt. Fansipan followed by a 1 day trek in the rice fields of Sapa. Everything was super well organized and our group of 5 couldn’t ask for more in terms of the prior arrangements, transport arrangements, quality of the guide and porters plus all the coordination. I would definitely recommend “Trekking Tour Sapa” to anyone considering doing something in this area
Super Fun trip

5.00We went for a 2 day hiking up to Fansipan. Our guide, Chu, was very patient with us and quiet (which we appreciated very much). Route was well planned and weather was super good. Chu also helped me with my marriage proposal which was successful. All in all, a very good experience. Will go again.
2d1n Trek to Roof of Indochina

4.00I did the 2d1n trek to the Roof of Indochina. The trek was well-paced. My guide (Pao) was knowledgeable, friendly and took care of me well. The view when I reached the summit was hampered by cloudy weather, but the summit area was nice and the climb overall was an enjoyable experience. Trekking Tour Sapa was responsive to my requests and able to cater to my needs. Highly recommended for a fuss-free trekking experience in Sapa!
Beautiful experience

4.00Friendly people at the office, nice and friendly guide, both English speaking and from Hmong origin, good organisation, lovely food (lunch, diner, breakfast). The hike was great. Tip: bring a headlight!!(second day starts when it is still dark and elektricity at basecamp 2 is limited) and prepare for a cold night! They have a surprice if you reach the summit. Extra pro's: you can leave overflow luggage at the office and you may use the shower when you return.

5.00Zhu was amazing for our two day trekking tour and we really enjoyed our homestay with the Co family. We got to see the rice paddies and walk along the Mong Hua river!
Fantastic organised team made our trip the best possible

5.00The whole team was amazing here. They really were keen to give us the best possible experience for our trek and outside of it. They made it feel like a family trip and I would certainly book future tours through them. We were some of the first people to reach the peak that morning to get the best views. This would not have been possible without the team here
Beautiful trek through Sapa villages

5.00We did the two day trek with zhu, she was amazing and spoke English very well. She was very kind and accommodating. We trekked through beautiful rice fields and stopped at local villages, eating local cuisine. In august the paths are very muddy so expect to wear gum boots/no jandals or shoes you don’t want to keep. Highly recommend trekking with Zhu
