At 3,143 metres Fansipan mountain is Vietnam's highest
mountain. Although only 9 km from Sa Pa town, it takes at
least three days to get to the peak and back. The top is
accessible year-round to anybody, so long as they are in
good shape. As there are no mountain huts on the way, we
will be camping. Our porters carry the equipment and food.
No ropes or technical climbing skills are needed, just
endurance and plenty of energy. The terrain is rugged, wet
and often cold. |
