We went in early July and were blessed with good weather. Spent half a day climbing up Mount Fansipan via the Tram Ton Pass. We were a bit slower, and it took us about 8 hours to reach the summit, including a 1-hour meal break, during which our mountain guide prepared a warm bowl of noodles with fresh fruit. Took the cable car down.

Was the only one in my group but had a good chat with my leader (who’s name I have forgotten but I will insert pic) who was very friendly. I found the hike quite challenging, some sections more than others, and I would say I’m an intermediate hiker. Unfortunately no views due to weather but it was a great experience. Lunch was awesome!

Bad weather on the day but a great climb with a good guide. The hot meal for lunch (a delicious chicken noodle soup) was also very much appreciated.

Appreciate the flexibility of swapping the itinerary. Instead of hiking on day 1, I have requested to hike on day 2 as there was lower chances of rain. There was miscommunication as the host thought to push everything one day later. Good thing was the host responded very quickly and promptly made arrangement for me to be pick up elsewhere. I grabbed over, had breakfast and began the trekking with a lady named Xa. It rained almost the entire day. The walk was from Sapa town to Zizi homestay (approx 15km) with a lunch break in between. The trek was beautiful. Along the way, an old lady and a young girl followed us for quite abit to our rest stop for a break. Initially I did not know why they were together with us in a group, only to realise they were going to sell us their homemade souvenirs like pouches, wallets, pillow case etc (it was rather expensive but absolutely no obligation to buy) when we having our rest. There wasn’t much explanation or sharing of the culture / history throughout the walk, I could hear more explanation coming from other trekking groups. One night at zizi homestay was quite an experience, dinner is provided but in a group setting where they called it group dinner. You get to meet other random people. Day 2 fansipan hike - picked up from homestay and very kind of her zizi’s sister (Lily) to prepare breakfast for me to bring along and met the guide called Mang in Sapa town. His English is basic and shared some interesting facts along the way. Very impressed by how he hike with his pair of legendary sandals. He would offer some rest points. if you require more breaks throughout the hike, he would patiently wait for you (but if you plan to hike down as well, then cater time for that too). Overall experience is pleasant.

Hassle free from time of booking till return back to hotel. Since it was a 1 day trek, the hot soup noodle and fruits at upper camp was great. And Pao, our guide was excellent...sharing the local culture, pointing out the various flora , even get to eat some wild raspberry. Safety conscious, he even re-routed the trek to avoid crossing high water at river crossing. Overall, a great experience as he guided us safely to the summit of Fansipan 👍

Had a wonderful experience hiking Fansipan thanks to our guide - Pao, who guided us through the mountain with ease. Aside from showing us the way, he also shared some interesting information about the plants, the animals and the terrain. He is well-versed in English and has been hiking Fansipan for 6 years! He is not talkative but that’s perfect for me - I can barely catch a breath, let alone talk while hiking. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I can’t believe I haven’t seen any reviews about him. We would definitely recommend Pao and Sapa Natives Trekking to anyone who is interested in summiting Fansipan in 1 day/6 hours. P.S. Pao also makes really good noodle soup!
