Day 3: Sapa – Fansipan Mountain – Hanoi (B,L)

In the morning, you will have a short transfer to Fansipan Cables Station and Take a scenic cable car ride up 3,143 meters above sea level to the peak of Fansipan Mountain, the highest mountain in the Indochinese Peninsula, Fansipan. Take in an impressive scenic view of Hoang Lien Son Range and Muong Hoa Valley’s natural landscapes as you ascend the mountain.

Immerse yourself in the rich history and culture of the mountain with a visit to the Bich Van Thien Tu pagoda, Bao An Thien Tu temple, and Thanh Van Dac Lo spiritual landmarks.  Lunch at a local restaurant.

Note: 

• After the cable-car ride you still have to climb another 600 steps to the peak of the mountain (It takes about 30 minutes). The road to ascend to the summit of Fansipan Mountain is incredibly steep and narrow, leading to rapid fatigue and a significant expenditure of energy.
• We strongly recommend traveling by funicular for the best and safest experience for you, for both the upward and downward directions. Especially when there are elderly people and children in the group.
• Fansipan cable car tickets & Funicular (Round-trip tickets) are not included in the tour
• Due to the geology of Fansipan Mountain, the walks are not necessarily suitable for the elderly, disabled, asthmatic or for those who suffer from vertigo or heart conditions. The amount of steps makes it unsuitable for pushchairs or for carrying babies in a sling or backpack. If you are not used to physical exertion then this walk could be too strenuous for you. Children must be accompanied by an adult. 

Afternoon transfer back to Hanoi via Lao Cai - Noi bai Expressway. The travel time is approximately 5 hours. Transfer to Hotel for check-in. Free at leisure
