Super friendly guide! Beautiful Mt. super recommend.

We had a wonderful day climbing Mount Fansipan with our guide, Pao, in mid-December. He contacted us in advance via Whatsapp to gather some extra information and to arrange the pickup, which made everything feel very well organized from the start. On the morning of the hike, Pao and a driver were waiting punctually at our hotel at 5:30 a.m. We were the first hikers of the day to reach the trailhead. We began hiking in the dark, but Pao made sure the path was well lit and safe. As the sun rose, we continued the ascent, taking regular breaks along the way. It’s important to note that this hike is quite challenging and requires good physical fitness, as there is a lot of climbing, including the use of ladders, while carrying your backpack. We reached the final checkpoint around 10 a.m., where we had time to rest while Pao prepared a delicious, warming lunch for us: noodle soup, tea, and fresh fruit. Mind you, it got pretty cold in the hills once your sweat dried up so it was very nice to heat up a little bit. After lunch, we continued for another 1.5 hours before finally reaching the summit of Fansipan. Pao was an excellent guide throughout the day, adapting the pace to our needs and creating a very enjoyable and supportive hiking experience. The descent was even more demanding, so we decided to take the cable car back down. Pao helped us purchase the tickets, came down with us, and arranged a cab, getting us back to our hotel by 2 p.m. We were extremely happy with our decision to book this tour with Sapa Natives and can’t recommend it highly enough. A big thank you to Pao for making this such a memorable day!
