very easy to book and best decision to add the funicular peak rain, so you save time to go up!

Almost instant confirmation upon purchase. Fuss-free and efficient way of just flashing the QR code. Includes only one-way up to the peak but coming down the stairs was ok even in 2/3 degrees in the winter. Would totally recommend. Fansipan is cold and windy so do come prepared with proper beanies, scarves, gloves or ear muffs!

We had an amazing experience trekking through the village in Sapa, thanks to our wonderful guide, Phinh! She was incredibly friendly, warm, and accommodating, making us feel welcome and at ease throughout the journey. Her knowledge of the area and its culture was impressive, and her clear explanations added so much depth to the experience. Despite the muddy winter trails, the trek felt relaxing and enjoyable, and Phinh’s cheerful demeanor kept our spirits high. We truly appreciated her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Sapa!

everything feels easy because the service process is fast and according to what we ordered. starting from entering by taking the funicular from Sapa Station until being on the cable car. comfortable and enjoyable. Especially for the EXTRAORDINARY Lunch. satisfying, delicious and of course filling after being tired of climbing to the top of Fansipan. highly recommended to take this package for those who are still strong enough to walk to the top of Fansipan. this package does not include the funicular train from DO QUYEN station.

Thank God for the good weather! It was so worth it going up. The view from the top is amazing! Riding a cable car in the middle of the clouds is such a surreal experience.
