Is this trip right for you?
While the hikes on this trip are at relatively altitude (maximum 1600 m asl), this active hiking trip requires a good level of fitness, due to the varied terrain and potentially hot temperatures. Many of the hiking days involve steep hills and lots of steps that you'll need to be able to walk up and down.
Summer temperatures can be very hot, especially on trails that have little or no shade. It’s essential to use sun protection, wear layers to combat the heat and drink plenty of water. Please consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability to that season.
To get to the best hiking trails in the region you’ll cover a lot of distance on this trip, but all in the comfort of our private vehicle.
In Hoang Su Phi there is only one rice harvest per year, which takes place in October. The rice fields are usually flooded at the end of May or early June, which makes for harder hiking, but stunning photographs.
