Fansipan, the highest peak in Indochina, is a popular destination for trekkers and nature enthusiasts visiting Vietnam. Reaching the summit is now more accessible thanks to the Fansipan Legend cable car, making it suitable for a wider range of visitors, though trekking options still exist for those seeking a challenge. Solo travel is possible, especially with the cable car, but guided treks offer enhanced safety and local knowledge. The best time to visit is during the dry season (October to April) to avoid slippery trails and obstructed views. A round-trip cable car ticket costs approximately $30-$40 USD. Allocate at least half a day for the excursion, including travel time from Sapa and time spent at the summit.
