10 indispensable items when climbing Fansipan, Lao Cai

Translated by Bing
Shoes, socks, and warm clothes are essential for a mountain climb. When climbing to the roof of Indochina, the following items will protect you from trouble when you are not used to walking and climbing for a long time.

Although the cable car route is ready to welcome guests to conquer the roof of Indochina is extremely convenient, there are still many people who choose the 3-day 2-night climbing route to experience all the beautiful roads in the Hoang Lien Mountains.


Wide-brimmed and lanyard hat (like a duckweed hat) to keep you from the harsh sun or rain and especially to avoid squeezing, other insects in the forest.


Lightweight, warm, waterproof jacket: Wear it when you stop because it is very hot and sweaty when you go, but when you stop, it will be cold due to the mountainous climate. The weather in the mountains in winter and spring is very cold, so be well prepared.


Scarf: It is both a sweat wipe, and helps you avoid insects falling on the nape of the neck.

Wide-legged pants, khaki or pants with breathable, non-hard, easy to move. When climbing, absolutely avoid wearing jeans because the hard material makes it inconvenient to move.
