Climbing Fansipan Summit 4 days, 2 nights on Train

Located 9km south-west of Sapa Townlet in the Hoang Lien Mountain Range, Fansipan is branded "the Roof of Indochina" at the height of 3,143m. Fansipan attracts a number of travellers who are eager to conquer its summit. Adventure enthusiasts who are up for challenge will love this tour as it is an actual adventurous opportunity. It is not easy to conquer the mountain but no technical climbing or ropes are needed, just conquerors’ endurance, resilience and great strength. The terrain is rugged, wet and often cold so wet weather gear and appropriate shoes are a must.
