Top The Most Breathtaking Cloud-Hunting Spots in Lao Cai
Have you ever enjoyed the feeling of watching the white, floating sea of clouds when coming to Lao Cai? The cloud-hunting season come back again, let’s review some mountains with extremely beautiful cloud-hunting views in Lao Cai!
- Lao Than Mountain
When talking about “cloud hunting” in Lao Cai, we will thinking about Y Ty. This place is considered the “sea of clouds” of this borderland. The clouds in Y Ty are always white like a silk strip, sometimes dense and sometimes wandering around the mountains. Lao Than is known as the roof of Y Ty (Lao Cai) with an altitude of 2860m above sea level. It will be an extremely interesting experience for those who have the opportunity to admire the dreamy and majestic beauty on the top of Lao Than mountain through the layers of white clouds drifting slowly. Conquering Lao Than peak is not too difficult, because the slope is not too high, the road is quite easy. For professional climbers, you can go and return in a day. However, try camping overnight on the top to experience the feeling of being close to nature, immersing yourself in the vast space of the sky and earth, watching the twinkling stars in the sky.
- Ky Quan San Mountain
Located on the border between Lao Cai – Lai Chau province, Ky Quan San is one of the highest mountains in Vietnam with an altitude of 3046m above sea level, always attracting tourists by the wonderful scenery here. See the entire small town lying below the misty clouds, the vast valleys with towering gray limestone mountains and terraced fields hidden in the clouds. And this is the gathering place of those who love to hunt for “sunrise in the clouds”.
- Fansipan Mountain
Coming to Sa Pa, surely everyone wants to set foot on the “roof of Indochina” at 3,143m above sea level. Fansipan is an extremely ideal destination for backpackers who love to hunt for clouds. From September of the previous year to March of the following year, especially in early spring, you should try to reach out and touch the clouds, immersing yourself in the cool, misty air. The view from the roof of Indochina will surely make you exclaim: It is truly a paradise!
- Ngu Chi Son Mountain
Ngu Chi Son is considered the most beautiful mountain in the Northwest with 5 peaks resembling 5 fingers pointing up to the sky. The mountain is located in Sa Pa, it would definitely be a pity if you missed the opportunity to conquer and stand on the highest peak to capture the moment of clouds hovering over the mountain. The journey to conquer this mountain is not easy, but the effort is truly worth what you experience. When standing on the highest point with clouds covering all around, the scene is majestic, whether you like it or not, you will be amazed by this beauty.
- Ngai Thau Peak
Not as bustling as Sa Pa or Y Ty, the white plateau of Bac Ha is somewhat quieter. For those who are passionate about traveling but love peaceful places, perhaps climbing Ngai Thau to see the clouds is one of the interesting activities that you cannot miss experiencing at least once. Not as high as the mountains above, from the highest point of each mountain range, each steppe, each village, rice fields, … All make travelers from afar have to stand still for a few seconds when they have the opportunity to visit. However, the image of mountains playing with clouds, when embracing the thatched roofs in the distance of the valley brings an indescribable closeness, feeling like they have been familiar for a long time.
Lao Cai has places where clouds cover the valleys, when the sun rises and combines with the wind, they will create waves of clouds that rush up and hit the mountain slopes. And at that moment, you will have the opportunity to admire the poetic scenery with villages with rows of Samu appearing and disappearing. Coming to Lao Cai without experiencing the fun of mountain climbing and cloud hunting is a real waste. What are you waiting for? Plan your next trip now!
