A Wonderful Journey to Southeast Asia
You have a couple of exciting days ahead! The journey begins with a drive to Silver Waterfall, where you'll have some time to snap photos of the stunning cascade. From there, continue on to Heaven Gate, the highest road peak in Vietnam. Here, you’ll enjoy panoramic views, including a glimpse of Fansipan, the highest peak of the Indochina mountain range.
The trek will start off relatively easy and gentle, leading you toward a scenic forest spot for a well-deserved lunch break after a couple of hours of hiking. Refueled, you’ll continue your ascent and descent towards the campsite, taking in the breathtaking landscapes of the Sapa area and Lai Chau province along the way. You’ll reach the campsite at 2800m above sea level by late afternoon, where you'll relax and enjoy a hearty dinner.

In the afternoon, the trek becomes more challenging as you head downhill through dense rainforest. This section demands focus and careful footing on the steep, narrow trail.

In the afternoon, you continue descending toward Sin Chai Village, home to the Black Hmong ethnic minority. Along the way, you’ll be treated to stunning valley views and scenic landscapes.
