Vietnam is not only all about the cities and beaches, but it also owns some incredible mountain ranges. Here you can discover the real culture of different ethnic groups while escaping the crowds just to join the fascinating adventures as well as gazing at the super mountains. Let’s take a closer look at these 5 greatest cloud paradises in Northwest Vietnam.
Fansipan – Sapa
Dubbed the roof of Indochina, Fansipan is just perfect for those seeking a stunning view at a new altitude. It is not strange that tourists find it super excited to “hunt clouds” even though that is just their first visit. Standing on top of the mountain, riveting distant sceneries, you are guaranteed to have both anxiety and enthusiasm since feeling like a real part of the magnificent nature. At a height of 3,143 meters, the peak is probably an energy challenge, but when reaching the top, you will be sure that it is worth your effort.
The best time to have a shoot of soothing clouds usually falls between September and March, when it is utterly cold and frosty, many travelers say.
Ta Xua – Son La
As a natural border between Son La and Yen Bai, Ta Xua mountain range includes three glorious mountains, making for the elegance of nature. Not just for a picture-perfect view of silky clouds but tourists can catch an admirable glimpse of the sky at the sunset or when the sun already goes down and stars twinkle.
The way to reach Ta Xua is a little bit challenging due to winding routes, however, the fairyland deserves your try. Once standing on the top, unmistakably, you will wish the time could stand still so that you can enjoy this moment forever.
Ta Chi Nhu – Yen Bai
It is rumored that clouds in Ta Chi Nhu are within your grasp. This is, of course, an interesting hyperbole, but you can entirely long for some experiences like this. At an altitude of approximately 2,900 meters above the sea level, Ta Chi Nhu is not as high as the well-known Fansipan, but it is obviously not a piece of cake to reach the top of Ta Chi Nhu.
Many people call this place “ocean in the sky” simply because you can adore amazing close-ups of blankets of clouds. The most suitable time for watching this cloud paradise is winter when it is dry and lacks rain.
Y ty – Lao Cai
Y Ty is perhaps less popular but it does not mean that you should cross out this place in your Vietnam tour itinerary.
Located in Bat Xat, Lao Cai Province, Y Ty is covered with marvelous clouds all year round. The period between September and April is often considered cloud-hunting season as during this time of the year, you can admire aimless clouds that are a true magnetic force. The higher you climb, the greater view you get.
