which are most excited from Vietnam's Fansipan Mountain to Cambodia's
Tonle Sap Lake in 2010 and featured some destinations.
1. Mountain trekking, Sapa, Vietnam
Mount Fansipan is Vietnam’s highest peak located in the far north just
outside of Sapa. Mt. Fansipan is a very steep mountain that gets a lot
of moisture. Those looking to climb it should be in good shape and
prepared to to have muddy wet feet. The scenery is incredible so
travelers should remember to bring a camera. For most of Vietnam
having a rain coat is a little excessive because it is so warm. On the
mountain having a rain coat is not a bad idea especially at night. The
trails around Sapa are a lot of fun. Travelers will get the chance to
go through some minority villages if travelers have the time to
explore. There are well-marked trails, both long and short, for all
skill levels.
