PAVIE TREKKING TOUR
PAVIE TREKKING TOUR
The ancient stone road Pavie is the road connecting the two districts of Bat Xat (Lao Cai) and Phong Tho (Lai Chau), which existed before the 4D arterial highway running through the present O Quy Ho pass.
The construction of this road was initiated by the French in 1927 with the purpose of patrolling and minerals and cardamom transporting. Nearly 50,000 Mong and Dao people sweated and died during the 5-year period to complete 80 km of this paved trail. With the development of modern roads connecting the two provinces of Lao Cai – Lai Chau through O Quy Ho pass, the road is now gradually forgotten in the middle of the deep forest, with only about 30 km of stone road still existing to this day.
You will start the trek from Sang Ma Pho village, through the relatively unspoiled forest where the Pavie road is still preserved the most. Along the road, there are still traces of some graves of those who participated in the construction of Pavie. The stone road covered with moss, zigzagging through the forest will eventually bring the trekker to the old French airport at the foot of Nhiu Co San mountain, which is also the ending point of this heritage journey.
