Fascinated by the sea of ​​clouds on the 'rooftop' of Quang Tri

With an altitude of over 1,700m, Pa Thien and Voi Mep are two close mountain peaks considered the "roof" of Quang Tri province, with beautiful natural scenery, a great place to hunt clouds.

Pa Thien and Voi Mep are two mountains located close to each other in Huong Phung commune, Quang Tri province. This area possesses a rich primeval forest ecosystem and majestic landscape, promising to become an attractive destination for tourists who love adventure and exploring wild nature.

Pa Thien is 1,625m above sea level. This name means “mountain of heaven” – towering, touching the blue clouds.

Voi Mep, also known as Ta Linh Son, is over 1,707m high and is the highest mountain in Quang Tri province. The name “Vo Mep” comes from the shape of the mountain range which looks like a giant elephant resting in the middle of the forest.

From the Rao - Pin source gathering point, the journey to Pa Thien is about 8km long, passing through dense primeval forests, following trails covered with rotten leaves, crossing cold streams and steep slopes. When arriving, Pa Thien opens up before your eyes a vast space, white clouds drifting lazily in the blue sky.

The vegetation on the top of Pa Thien is mainly dwarf forest, with plants of the tea and rhododendron families. In the middle of that wild landscape, there are ancient tea trees of unknown age, quietly nestling beside moss-covered rocks.

From Pa Thien, going about 2km further, visitors will reach Voi Mep peak - where emotions truly explode. From this height, looking down, the sea of ​​clouds rolls like waves, white clouds continue to pour down into the deep ravine that seems bottomless.

This place is covered in mist and clouds all year round. Therefore, cloud hunting on Voi Mep peak - "the roof of Quang Tri" is a very unique and unforgettable experience.

According to the project, the Pa Thien - Voi Mep trekking eco-tourism product has 2 tour programs: 2 days 1 night tour with a route of 6.5km (from the forest gate to the new rock beach, Pa Thien peak, Voi Mep) and 3 days 2 nights tour with a route of 8.8km (from the forest gate to Voi Mep peak).

Both tours depart from Huong Phung commune, passing through 3 sub-areas of Bac Huong Hoa nature reserve (Northwest of the old Huong Hoa district). Each tour is limited to no more than 25 people, no more than 2 groups per day, to ensure safety and the best experience.

The operator has also signed a memorandum of cooperation with the tourism product testing support team. About 20 young Van Kieu people will participate in supporting and guiding tourist groups on their journey to conquer Voi Mep peak.

This is considered a solution to both create livelihoods for the Van Kieu people and contribute to promoting the unique cultural identity of the southwestern mountainous region of Quang Tri.
