"Cloud hunting" journey on Chu Yang Lak peak

Exploring, experiencing and conquering wild nature is a type of tourism that is selective but has a special attraction for tourists. For example, the trekking tour of Chu Yang Lak in Lak district. With the only means of transportation being their own feet, tourists spend 2 days and 1 night crossing streams and forests to conquer the second highest peak on the majestic Chu Yang Sin range.

The journey to experience the many types of terrain and rich vegetation of the primeval forest brings many emotions, especially with the rugged and undulating slopes, with the steep cliffs and the sea of clouds floating in the pure, light, magical misty morning on the top of the mountain nearly 1,700 meters high. Let me share a glimpse of the experience with readers.

After crossing the dry stream at the edge of the forest, the slopes begin to undulate.

The rocky slope from the stream up...

...slope through the fields of people in the mountainside village...

...slope along the flood season stream from the mountain flows down and cuts through the hills.

The slope gradually increases in height and danger, many sections winding through large, precariously stacked rocks.

Many slopes of slippery, silvery clay look like the back of a giant python slithering through the endless reeds, requiring one to cling to each tree root and tuft of grass to inch up.

Immersed in the shade of the primeval forest, the steep slopes of rocky outcrops challenge every step.

The slopes kept going up through the forest until they reached the vertical cliff that stood like a wall blocking the only path to the top of the mountain.
