Fansipan (Vietnamese: Phan Xi Păng) is a mountain in Vietnam, the highest in Indochina (comprising Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia), at 3,143 metres (10,312 ft). It is located in the Lào Cai Province of the Northwest region of Vietnam, 9 km southwest of Sa Pa Township in the Hoang Lien Son mountain range.
Fansipan is dubbed "the Roof of Indochina"; it is to be
approved as one of the very few ecotourist spots of Vietnam, with about 2,024
floral varieties and 327 faunal species.
The topography of Fansipan is varied. Muong Hoa Valley, at the lowest
altitude (950 to 1000m), is created by a narrow strip of land at the base on
the east side of the mountain. It can be climbed in a steep and fairly
strenuous hike.
Tour companies in the area will arrange hikes to the summit taking from
one to three days. Most will recommend taking the two- or three-day options and
few guides will take tourists on the round trip in a single day.
A very small village is located at around 1,500 m (4,920 ft) where
accommodation and food is offered. Further up, at 2,800 m (9,190 ft), is an
overnight camp. Most booked trips will include the use of these facilities in
their price should they be required.
