Fansipan
is Vietnam's highest peak located in the far north just
outside of Sapa. Fansipan a very steep mountain that gets a
lot of moisture. Those looking to climb it should be in good
shape and prepared to to have muddy wet feet The scenery is
incredible remember to bring a camera. For most of Vietnam
having a rain coat is a little excessive because it is so
warm. On the mountain having a rain coat is not a bad idea
especially at night. The trails around Sapa are a lot of fun.
You will get the chance to go through some minority villages
if you have the time to explore.

arrival at Noi Bai Airport, you are met and transferred to the
hotel. Ha Noi, Vietnam's capital, is a stylish and gracious
city that retains an unique old world charm and some Asia ‘s
most striking colonial architecture. The many lakes and parks
make for relaxing atmosphere. If time permits, we take a short
cyclo excursion through the bustling old quarter streets named
after the specific goods once offered for sale at these
places.

to Vietnam’s 54 ethnic minorities, some of which we will see
on our forthcoming days. The reminder of the day is free for

At an elevation of 1,500 meters, Sa Pa is the former hill
retreat for French administrators when the heat in plain
became unbearable. The remoteness and simple lifestyle of
ethnic minorities are a highlight of Sa Pa although conditions

of the French period.
