Touch the clouds in Lao Than

The tower block named Lao Than, at an altitude of 2,860 m, is always the choice to conquer for those who love trekking experiences.

Amidst the mountains of the Lao Cai border region, where clouds hang loosely on the mountainside, there is a tower named Lao Than, at an altitude of 2,860m, always a choice for those who love trekking experiences.

Not attractive because of the challenge of height or the difficulty of climbing, but Lao Than, the place known as "the roof of Y Ty" has its own inherent beauty. Still the pristine, wildness of the Northwest mountains and forests, still the precarious mountain ranges amidst the majestic nature.

Each angle of "Y Ty Roof" has its own beauty.

Only those who are passionate about mountain climbing can fully understand the excitement of waiting for each moment that appears behind each tree. But the most anticipated thing in Lao Than is still the dream of getting lost in the sea of clouds.

Choosing the end of October was not ideal, but still full of hope in the cool weather in the mountains, we departed at 4am, from Hanoi towards Muong Hum, Bat Xat, Lao Cai.

Starting point.

The starting point for the journey to conquer the peak begins from Phin Ho village, Y Ty commune. In the early afternoon, the highland space is immersed in a layer of fog covering the path. While walking, listening to the sound of rain falling on the forest leaves, the prospect of hunting clouds gradually fades away from the mind. But being used to this situation, everyone tells themselves and constantly hopes for a cloudy sky up high.

The way up the mountain.

After 2 hours of walking in the mud, the weather seemed to understand people’s hearts, it became more foggy, the shadows of ancient trees gradually appeared, although not as many as other climbing routes. Occasionally, sparkling drops remained on the silken webs, enough to give us hope for a brighter sky ahead.

Good friends in nature.

The higher we went, the more blue light appeared in the sky, the layers of clouds gradually appeared, our group burst into tears at the moment we saw the white clouds, floating and embracing the high mountains. Adding a horse leisurely walking among the vast mountains, made the natural scenery even more poetic.

Create the image of "Fisherman fishing".

Next to it, the famous Devil Rock juts out, hanging in mid-air. It looks quite precarious, but anyone who comes here “boldly” climbs out, just to get a picture of the fisherman fishing.

As the sun was setting, we arrived at the camp where the porters were preparing dinner. The BBQ party in the middle of the forest, no matter how many times it was repeated, was always as exciting as the first time.

Leo was exhausted after a long day, so after the party, his eyelids drooped and he fell asleep quickly, leaving him to wake up one after another while the night sky was still deep in sleep.

At 6am, we reached the top, touching the tower block marked Lao Than 2,860m while the sky was still dark. We had reached our dream, although the sunrise was not as imagined, but the group still managed to check-in 500 photos before going down to the hut.

Happy moment halfway up the mountain.

The road down the mountain became more and more beautiful, the sea of clouds appeared on the dinosaur's back. While enjoying and recording the colorful mountains and forests, the whole group returned to Y Ty. Soaking in a tub of Dao herbal medicine to relax the muscles and bones, it was also the time when lunch arrived. With a tray of wild vegetables and stream fish, the lively laughter ended the interesting and refreshing journey, adding motivation for the next appointment.
