A memorable trip to Fansipan by Sapa,
We are a group of Malayan, We often take
adventure tours and this time to Vietnam is Fansipan.
Get pick up at Laocai train station and transfer to
Sapa, we stopped
at Hotel, got a room for shower, breakfast, prepared our gears for the coming
trek.
Driving by Jeep along a up-down, zig-zag road to get the mountain pass to start
our hike. The first sight to us is the large mountain, the trek at the beginning
is quiet easy. we are all eager to conquer.
Lunch was good, much better than I had expected. We had baguettes, tomato,
cucumber and cheese followed by pear. I had read someone else's blog about their
trip up Fansipan and they had eaten rice, noodles and an increasingly rancid
piece of pork for 4 days.
After lunch we actually had to loose high to get to the camp to where we were
going to sleep. There was another big river to cross but this time there was a
bridge so we got across with dry feet. Camp 2 was just on the other side and
consisted of a couple of wooden buildings.
After getting cleaned up and changing into dry clothes we were served up a
massive banquet of really tasty food. We had stir fried chicken and mushroom,
beef and onion, tofu, potatoes, cabbage, rice and more.
There was twice as much as we needed.
After that it was straight to bed. We slept in the camp that our guide and
porter had made, it is really fun, the camp is bigger enough for our group. Our
place to sleep was well prepared, we had thick mattress and sleeping bag. It was
fairly comfortable and it didn't get cold during the night.
In the morning we were served up a really massive bowl of vegan noodle soup with
a fried egg on top. It was tasty but way too heavy for 6:30 in the morning. None
of us managed to eat more than half of it.
Another hard day to conquer the roof of Indochina, this day We had to head up to
the top from 2200m, then down to the camp at 2800 for the night. The hike was
really true for mountain climb, the higher we climb, the better landscape we
enjoy.
We were at the top at about 1pm, had a lunch on a big rock in windy and sunny
noon, Life is fantastic!
Back to the camp at 2800m at about 5pm, we spend this night in a cottage make by
the national park. To congratulate the winners of Indochina roof, our guide
killed a pig that they had carried all the way up from Sa pa to make barbecue,
we had some wine too.
The last day seemed to be easier to us, we went all the same way down to Tram
ton Pass then took a Jeep to Sa pa. Got a room with hot shower.
This was the best trip I had done in Vietnam.
