ITINERARY
Embark on the "Journey To The Enchanted Cascades: Silver Waterfall Expedition," a leisurely exploration that begins with meeting your guide and driver. As we ascend the scenic route towards Fansipan Mount, the landscape transforms, first with rose flower farms and then vast expanses of chayote sprawling on bamboo frames.
Our first stop is the awe-inspiring Silver Waterfall, a majestic natural wonder that sets the tone for our adventure. We then continue our journey, driving a few more kilometers to reach the Heaven Gate and Tram Ton Pass. Standing at 2047m above sea level, this is Vietnam's highest mountain pass. Here, you'll have the opportunity to stroll around for about half an hour, soaking in the stunning views of the Hoang Lien Son mountain range from both sides. The ever-changing clouds, driven by strong winds, offer a dynamic and breathtaking vista. The contrast in weather between the two sides of the Fansipan Mountain Range is striking – often cloudy and foggy on the Sa Pa side and sunny on the other.
As we begin our descent, a 7 km drive downhill takes us through O Quy Ho, where you can capture photos of the lush farms. This area is a tapestry of vegetables, flowers, fruit trees, and medicinal plants, keeping the landscape vibrant and green year-round.
Our journey concludes with a transfer back to Sapa, ending with a drop-off at your hotel or a preferred location in the town. This expedition, lasting approximately 2 hours of driving and 1 hour of walking, is a perfect blend of natural beauty and serene mountain landscapes.
