CONQUERING NAM KANG HO TAO

Tour Trekking Nam Kang Ho Tao

CONQUERING NAM KANG HO TAO

Nam Kang Ho Tao – the mountain with a strange name, although not in the top 10 highest peaks in Vietnam, still holds the most danger among the mountains. The forest has a magical, yet peaceful beauty that lulls you from the lurking challenges: the steep cliffs full of slippery slopes, the dense jungle, the clear streams that seem innocent at first but not at all. This is one of the most difficult trekking route, but also a route that is full of experiences, connecting the two provinces of Lai Chau – Lao Cai.

Nam Kang Ho Tao Peak is at 2,881m high, located in Hoang Lien National Park. The peak belongs to sub-zone 303 A, Hoang Tha Thau mountain in Ta Trung Ho village, Ban Ho commune, Sa Pa district. This is one of the dream destinations of adventurous backpackers because of the mountain’s challenges and wild beauty.
