Additional Information

If Europe is famed for The Alps, then Vietnam boasts the majestic Mt. Fansipan. Often referred to as the “Tonkinese Alps,” it stands as the crown jewel of Sapa, Vietnam’s ultimate base for hiking enthusiasts. Renowned as the Roof of Indochina, Mt. Fansipan reigns supreme over all treks within Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, towering over other summits with its impressive height of 3,143 meters.

As you journey over the mountain’s crests and troughs, through areas dense with flora or laid bare to the sunlight, consider that these paths are daily traversed by locals as young as 15, who navigate them to hunt, collect wood, and harvest herbs for their livelihood. Are you prepared to rise to the test of your endurance?

Step away to reconnect. Embark on a two-day sojourn into the heart of Mt. Fansipan, where you will be severed from the city’s chaos and enveloped by the tranquil embrace of the wilderness. Along your path, you’ll encounter a diversity of flora, witness various bird species, and inhale the fresh scent of alpine air. Is your love for nature strong enough to forsake urban comfort?

Priceless experience - We were a group of 7 couples and most of us were first timers on an overnight mountain hike. The experience was priceless and TTTG has been a great help by being very responsive to our questions and request.

An amazing 3D2N adventure to Fansipan Summit - Ok actually I did the 3D2N Trekking trip from Cat Cat Trail to Fansipan Summit. This is my 2nd experience with this company and all thanks to Mr Phạm Minh Duc (Director) and Joey (Ops Manager) who handles all logistic, communications and execution flawlessly, every adventure I had was terribly good. What's more than to have some team who manages your schedule/train/van transfer ahead of your arrival? This trail m that I had just done can be attempted by regular hikers who yearns for a deeper adventure or a challenge to yourself. But best to start of understanding the Tram Ton Trail first. You will also love how you can learn and mix with the locals from the black Hmong community. I'll be back in Sapa for sure. Love from Singapore, Glenn Sim

Best experience - Tour was perfectly organised. We started a trek at 9am and continued with a break for delicious lunch and then in the afternoon we stopped at our camp located 1.5h from the summit. Guides prepared us a delicious dinner and we could go to sleep. In the morning we hiked to the top to see the sunrise (and a sky full of stars before). Unforgettable experience with spectacular views and delicious food

Anything but Terrible! Top Notch experience, highly recommended! - From the moment I booked my hike with The Terrible Guide, it has been anything but a terrible experience. The staff in Hanoi (Joey you’re a LEGEND) and Sa Pa are incredibly reliable, efficient, accommodating and professional in all they do. Truly they gave me an experience I will never forget. Coupling with local guides in Sa Pa, the hike to Fansipan was a challenge for me. Though I was too slow and could not reach the overnight halt by nightfall, the Terrible Guide staff helped to coordinate a transfer the next day to the cable car and saw me through the whole experience. My sincere gratitude to Joey the Amazing, my Hmong guide Má a Dơ, chị Quỳnh and her entire family for their warm hospitality, patience, professionalism and for making it an enjoyable holiday that I’ll never forget!

Fansipan Trek - Joey was very prompt in his communications and accomodated to some last min changes in payment. Swift replies and very detailed itinerary. Guide was very friendly and helped us in a lot of ways along the climb. Really enjoy the whole transaction process and the kindness and patience the guide has provided us during the trek.

Great Fansipan experience - Everything was taken care of on this Fansipan trip, from the meals on the trip to the accommodation on the mountain. They helped to keep our luggages as well, and provided transport to and from Fansipan. We were lucky enough to have a after shower too.

Good experience of Fansipan submit hike - The trek to Fansipan was great. The local ethnic guide, Thong, was a great guide and took well care of us through the hike. We had a great time interacting with him. The local office liaison, Quynh and Duc also showed great hospitality to us before & after the trek. Also, them and Joey had mentioned, they relocating their place at Sapa so remember to note down all the details and any questions before heading to Sapa with Joey.

Tiring, but well worth the views and experience - It was relatively easy to coordinate the arrangements for the hike. Joey was prompt in his replies and answered our queries we had in his email clearly. However, there was a slight miscommunication on the day of the hike. We had requested to leave our luggage at the office before our hike, but the driver who picked us up didn’t seem to be aware of the arrangement and sent us to the start point with our luggage. After much effort (due to the language barrier), we were told that our luggage would be sent to the office for safekeeping. We then met up with our local guide, Mrs Quynh, who spoke minimal English. Throughout the hike, Mrs Quynh ensured that we ate well and that we are safe. As we forgot to bring headlamps for the sunrise summit push, she gave us her own and instead used her handphone for light. That was a certainly a life saviour. During the hike, Mrs Quynh also provided help to us at difficult parts of the hike (huge boulders, ladders that hung perilously off the face of boulders). What was however demoralising was that she kept highlighting that we would reach back to the start point at 8pm (as we were very slow in the ascent and descent). This could however be due to the language barrier. Side note: Most of the guides we met during the hike are rather intense, so do go prepared!) On the day of the descent, we had to catch a bus back to Hanoi (which was at 4pm). We began our descent from the summit at 9am (which was rather late) and Mrs Quynh really made sure that we could make it back to catch our bus. Joey also made sure that our luggage was brought to the start point and that a taxi was waiting for us when we arrived. As a result, we managed to catch our bus just in time. It was definitely not an easy hike, but The Terrible Tour Guide made it happen. We were also lucky because we had awesome views (one of the guides shared that the view that day was one of the clearest out of the 100+ hikes he had done)
