Vietnam's
highest mountain, Fansipan ( 3143m ) lies within the reserve
boundary, less 5 km as the crow flies from Sapa but an arduous
three-to five day round trip on foot. the usual root starts
by descending 300m to cross the MuongHoa river , and the climb
almost 2000m on overgrown paths throught the pine forest and
bamboo thickets before emerging on the southern ridge. The reward
is a panorama encompassing the mountain ranges of northern west
Vietnam, south to Sonla province and north to the peaks of Yunnam
in China.
