Amazing solo hike with Chu. Great guy and really good English. We hiked up in 3 hour 24 mins and then I got the cable car down for the views. Great company, really responsive and I would 100% recommend.

Great service. They got me onto a Fan Si Pan hike at very short notice, and our guide Pao was very friendly, knowledgeable and patient.

Fansipan hike, a private hike tour organised by my hostel, paid $75 which included all hiking cost: private guide, motorbike transfer to Tram Ton pass, national park entry fees, lunch/water/coffee for the day. Additional cost to consider - > cable car ride from Fansipan to Sapa (VND800-850k, card payment possible).
The hike: since I've read all kinds of mixed reviews about the difficulty level of this hike, I felt like I needed to write a review from a more experienced hiker's point of view.
-> at the time of hike, I'm 41, doing cardio exercise 3-4 times per week but some hiker groups we passed by had clients with a generally average fitness level, they walked slower but all reached the top eventually.
-> to consider: good grip on shoes - rocky path and stairs continuously going up, often steeper bigger steps, challenging for knees and ankles. a healthy heart without any pre existing conditions is essential.
-> if you've been doing hikes in the mountains previously, this is "just" another longer hike, challenging but not too tiring (just know your pace) and there are no dangerous sections where being scared of heights could pose a risk (no walks by edges of massive drop offs or anything similar).
Additional ladders are installed along the way to manage inclines across boulders easily.
At least one walking stick (I used a bamboo stick and kept the other hand free to grab on to railings, rocks/roots) is super helpful to take some weight of the legs, good grip on shoes needed due to rocks and moist areas (I had cheaper trail running shoes), plenty of water, maintain reasonable pace that suits your breath and heart rate, take water breaks.
Once you reach the base camp at 2800m above sea level, have a good lunch and coffee and you'll be able to enjoy the last section of the hike. Also latest at this stage, you might appreciate a thin windstopper/waterproof jacket and potentially another longsleeve underlayer. It was windy at times ut we had no rain. Enjoy the views without fog and take pics before reaching the top as you might not see anything once there.
Be ready for many tourists at the top who arrive there by cable car.
Enjoy your Tram Ton pass to Fansipan hike 👍😊 It's beautiful and definitely worth doing.

Great tour guide, definitely recommend. The climb up can be a bit challenging. For the way down the cable car was a nice option but cost an additional 800,000 dong. Overall great experience

Phung was great! At 530am he was at the hotel entrance with the car and we started the climb at 6am. Phung was incredibly kind and patient and I’m so glad that we made it to the summit in the rainy conditions! The sandwich he prepared at the base camp was super fresh and yummy too. If not for his company I doubt I would have completed this climb. It’s one of the most challenging and satisfying climbs I’ve done. Thank you Phung!

Fansipan is Amazing! The cable car ride up the mountain gives nice views of rice paddies below, and waterfalls on the way up. Once there, if you want to limit the climbing there is a funicular that takes you almost to summit. Then it’s a short climb to the summit at 3,143 meters / 10,312 ft, the highest in Indochine region.
The weather up here is very unpredictable, it may be sunny at the bottom of mountain and covered in clouds at the summit. To be sure, you should bring jackets and rain gear as its windy up there and rainy at times. But the clouds are the constant. You are so high you are essentially “in the clouds” or above them. So we had to wait 2 hours for 3 brief 5 seconds of “cloud clearance” to get some amazing shots of this mountain top.
This is a must-see if you are in Sapa area!

Phung was an awesome guide. He was really good at pacing and made sure we caught up to him. He was also very helpful and made us good lunch. We wouldn’t have made it up without Phung. Thank you!!

Highlight der Indochinareise trotz Kälte (Schneeregen auf dem Peak) und Dauerregen
Start um 5 Uhr morgens im Dunkeln vom Hotel
Per Taxi und Bergführer zum Ausgangspunkt der Trekkingtour Start Trekking um 5.50 mit iPhone-Taschenlampe
Gut dass wir noch Regensachen warme Klamotten Mütze und Handschuhe gekauft hatten kamen dennoch durchnässt mittags auf dem Peak an
„Lunch“ zuvor in 2800 Meter Höhe war nicht so gut
Kalte Hütte Kamin nicht beheizt Kein warmes Lunch nicht einmal Heißen Tee oder Kaffee
Schließlich bekamen wir eine Tasse heißes Wasser
Die Hütten sollten dringend komfortabler und wärmer ausgestaltet werden
Der Weg ist technisch sehr einfach
Rückfahrt mit der Seilbahn
Von der Seilbahntalstation per Taxi zum Hotel
Ankunft gegen 15 Uhr
Als Eintagestour sehr gut
Zweitagestour nicht zu empfehlen
