Vietnam Trekking Tours, Hiking Trips in Vietnam

I woke up again at 05:00 in the morning and went out for a walk in the front lawn. It was a magical dawn with amazing colors on the horizon. The mountains nearby were partially covered in clouds. The whole scenery was indescribable! It looked like it was going to be a sunny and beautiful day.

The North-West of Vietnam is home to quite a lot of mountain peaks of more or less than 3,000m above sea level and most of them are untouched and free from mass tourism. And I have summited some of these high peaks.

Trekking & Jungle Camping Tour at Cuc Phuong National Park is a moderately difficult hiking adventure tour which covers 6-8km of trekking through the dense jungle of the national park.

After typhoon Yagi in Vietnam, several trees most of which were big timber ones and several of which were of decades years of age or century-years of age, were downed by the unprecedented winds of 100-150 kph.

I tried to get some photographs from the summit but the views were not so good: it was too foggy. The winds up here were extremely strong and they made me feel so uncomfortable. I had to try my best to stand firmly on the ground and tried to keep my hands sturdy. My eyes were blurred by the winds and I gave up after a while.

The Ta Xua Mountain, 2,865m above sea level, is in Tram Tau District, Yen Bai Province. The Ta Xua Mountain is the 10th highest mountain peak in Vietnam but climbing this mountain is widely considered the most difficult of all mountain-climbing adventures in Vietnam.

It took quite a while for the guide to unlock the door and got the blankets for the night. We were to stay at the second hut on the other side of the mountain. And to get there we would have to pass through a tiny path which was as small as a foot.

I was not feeling tired, only a bit worried about the path ahead. The trail was much worse than A Sua's calculations. The path had been deserted for a long time and the forest had totally reclaimed most of it. We had to step on quite a few bridges each of which made out of a single tree trunk to cross a ravine or a stream. All of them were mossy and slippery, and some were rotten. A Sua had to slash the bushes all the time to make the path visible.

Having been to Mu Cang Chai quite a few times, on this trip I had thought I would have a relaxing holiday in this sleepy village a couple of days before venturing further into Vietnam's north-western mountains. It was autumn and the air was fresh and chilly in the early morning and late afternoon. it would be lovely strolling all day along the mountain trails amid peaceful and beautiful landscape…

The Pu Luong Nature Reserve is located to the west of Thanh Hoa Province.

For long I had been longing for a thorough exploration of the area between Cao Bang City and Lang Son City. It is the peaceful ethnic villages, small valleys amid thousands of mountain peaks which are so appealing to me. My several journeys through the area had been quite brief due to limited time.
