3. How is Fansipan trek 1 day?

You should begin at early morning but not too early, after breakfast is appropriate. The first part of the trail is quite easy, which helps you to digest your food. You just need to walk through largely flat forest with some lovely streams. There are also up and down but it is still at easy level. Such an smooth start of Fansipan trek 1 day!

Then it’s getting tough

The next route is more vertical and monotonous. At this stage you need to stay focus and keep your mind strong if you don’t want to give up. My friends in their Fansipan trek 1 day were all distressed by the toughness of the trail. They had to speed up to finish in one day and no one felt fit enough for 6 hour ahead.

One of them gave up, even though she tried to push herself to catch up with the team. She joined another group who were going down and waited for the rest at the start point. You may not imagine how hard it is until being into this situation. Tough trail with steep uphill and the rush of time can beat you in any second, so prepare yourself with Fansipan trek 1 day before getting involved in it.

The higher you climb, the tougher the path is. You can be easily slipped while trying to climbing high platforms. Along the way you can meet many local people passing for working. And you might wonder why they can move so fast and easily like that without any support. This is because they climb everyday in order to work.

And finally the summit

You are near the end of Fansipan trek 1 day. The whole route will finish when you see the Vietnamese flat sticking out from the rock. If you struggle a lot to gain the peak, you might feel emotional and so proud of yourself.
From the peak you can’t observe the valley because all are obscured by the cloud. You should take your time to rest a little bit before heading back. However, the way back might be faster.
