• Best day 2026

  At 6.00 am we started towards Fansipan. A leisurely hike was stated in the description. Well dressed and prepared for everything we started with our guide and 3 other adventurers to the summit. The pace was hard, and after the first hour we found ourselves climbing on all fours on huge rocks. Over ladders, field walls it went up more and more steeply. We are on our feet a lot, definitely not unsportsmanlike but we reached our limits. The break at half-time we had sorely needed. We were provided with instantnoodle soup and frisky fruit. After the break, we stepped up at our pace and that was much more relaxed. At over 40, we are just a little more comfortable than our 20-year-old colleagues. Anyway, 7 1/2 hours later we proudly reached the summit and later decided to go down in the Cabelcar while the boys met us again during the ascent. Did they even enjoy this phenomenal view? Was this a marathon we didn't know about? Anyway, we made it, received a medal and certificate and say thank you to the guide for the support, the nice conversation and for the perfect day. By the way, it was exactly my 44. Birthday.

  Great hike! Spectacular view! Very patient guide if you are not so fit. The sandwich at lunch break gives you good new energy for the rest of the hike! Organisation was great and the communication perfect! At the summit you get a medal and you can feel very proud ❤️

  Thanks for the patience and consistent communications that provided me with clear info, I was able to make my trek up to Fansipan despite having only a short 2 days into Sapa in between my biz trip.

  Mr chay was very proffesional and nice. He took care of everything and gave good advice. The track itself was good but challanging

• Beautiful but VERY difficult day hike

  Our guide Chay was very punctual and patient with us while trying to make sure we kept a decent pace. The food for lunch was good and there was plenty of it. The trail is well maintained and safe. The views from the top and the temple itself are amazing! It’s mentioned in the description and I’ll reiterate in the title, but this is a VERY difficult hike endurance-wise. I like to think I’ve done a lot of hiking and this was still the hardest day hike I’ve ever done. If you are not an elite hiker and you have the time and still want to hike it, maybe consider the two day version. Taking the cable car down instead of hiking would be a great option too but it was closed while we were there unfortunately.

  

  

  

• Highly Recommend SAPA Original Trek

  I recently joined a 2-day program with Sapa Original Trek — the Fansipan one-day trek and the long walking tour through Sapa’s rice terraces and ethnic villages — and it was absolutely fantastic. Tinh, who was incredibly responsive from the moment I contacted her, answered all my questions quickly, clearly, and with great patience. She really went the extra mile to create a special itinerary that matched exactly what I expected. On the ground, our guide Cho was exceptional. He knows so many trekking routes in Sapa and guided me safely and confidently to the Fansipan summit on a very challenging trek. His pacing, encouragement, and deep knowledge of the trail made a difficult climb both achievable and enjoyable. The next day, Cho also led me through the most beautiful parts of Muong Hoa Valley, walking from village to village across stunning rice terrace fields. He explained the cultures of the Hmong, Red Dzao, and Giay people in a friendly, authentic way. It truly felt like exploring the real Sapa, not a tourist route. Both days were well-organized, scenic, and unforgettable. Highly recommend it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  Mr Tinh was amazing! He was very friendly and hospitable. He picked us up from the hotel, offered us a room to freshen up before taking our overnight bus back to Hanoi, he even dropped us off at the bus station. The guide Mr Choo was so kind and friendly. He checked in with us from time to time throughout the hike! We had a great experience! Thank you Mr Tinh and Choo.

• Very rewarding hike!

  Great private trekking tour to the top of Fansipan! We both found the hike very challenging (30 year olds who both ran marathons in the past 3 months). The elevation gain is no joke. Very rewarding in the end!

• Fansipan- must do for the right trekker

  Fansipan mountain is a great climb though not for unfit nor inexperienced trekkers. Using a guide such as Chay from Mr Tinh’s team is recommended. I would advise climbing up and cable car down unless you are super fit and are looking for a tougher experience (8-9hrs climbing up and down) Great communication and local knowledge from Mr Tinh is invaluable .

  Highly recommend booking with Sapa Original Trek if you are interested in a Fansipan trek. My experience with them was super smooth and enjoyable. My guide was very accommodating with my pace and provided lots of interesting information on areas throughout the hike. The meal provided was delicious and included a good amount of food. I could not think of one bad thing to say about them.
