For
the ones really fit, I recommend the three day
trekking to the Fan Si Pan mountain.
Mount Phan Xi Pang, as locals call it, is a
3500 yard high peak (3143 m). During the trek
you will have the chance to see how locals live.
And even sleep in a local home. You will need
special permits to do a home stay. For this
reason I recommend reserving one of the trekking
tours in Hanoi or Sapa.
The best season to do this trekking is in
summer. In Winter conditions may be too tough.
I did not do this trekking, so I cannot give
you my personal impressions. All I can say is
that if you like the picture on this page, you
will love the Farsipan trek.
