Climbing Ta Chi Nhu is like walking toward the sky. As you ascend above the clouds, the world below fades into mist, and ahead lies a ridge kissed by wind and silence. You will discover the highest mountain in Yen Bai Province and the 6th highest peak in Vietnam!
The trail begins in Nam Nghiep village, winding through ancient forests and mountain slopes. At 2,600m, you’ll stop for lunch beside a quiet stream, before the final push to the 2,979m summit. At the top: open skies, panoramic views, and—if you're lucky—the sea of clouds Ta Chi Nhu is famous for. The valley views from the top looks like a fairyland, guaranteering a magical experience for all travellers.
Transport by motorbike takes you to and from the trailhead. It’s a full-day trek, rewarding, raw, and unforgettable. Join us to stand above the clouds and watch the world open up beneath your feet!

Reviews
- OOwenabout provider25 Nov, 2025Had a great experience with Ky, climbing Nam Kang Ho Tao
- RRebeccaabout provider2 Aug, 2025Our family did the 4-day, 3-night trek and it exceeded all expectations. Ky, our guide, was incredibly warm and knowledgeable, and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. The hike took us through stunning rice terraces, peaceful Hmong villages, and scenic trails far away from crowded tourist spots. The homestays were cozy and gave us a real taste of local life. We also had a few dietary requirements, and everything was thoughtfully arranged for us. If you're looking for a meaningful, nature-filled adventure - this is the one. Huge thanks to Ky for making it so special!
- AAmélieabout provider27 May, 2025We went on a 3-day trek through Mu Cang Chai and were blown away by the experience. Our local guide, Ky, not only showed us the stunning scenery but also gave us a deep dive into the traditions and way of life of the local communities. It felt like discovering the region through the eyes of someone who has lived and breathed it their whole life. The views were amazing, the atmosphere peaceful, and we left feeling truly enriched. Highly recommend this if you're looking for an immersive, off-the-beaten-path adventure.
