2. Journey to conquer Ta Xua peak

You can depart from Hanoi in the morning, traveling by motorbike or car through winding mountain roads. The higher you go, the cooler and more pleasant the air becomes. When you arrive at the center of Ta Xua commune, you will begin a trekking journey of about 6-8 km to the top.

The special thing about Ta Xua is that the trekking route is not too strict – suitable for beginners. The path is mainly a trail through the forest, with a moderate slope, as long as you are well prepared in terms of health and bring climbing shoes, you will easily “overcome yourself”.

Interesting experiences on the way to Ta Xua peak:

  • Encountering primeval forests, where green leaves cover the path
  • Admiring the layered mountain ranges stretching to the horizon
  • Passing the dinosaur spines – a narrow road, with deep abysses on both sides, like walking in the sky
  • And then, when reaching the peak of more than 2,800m, the reward for you is a sea of ​​white clouds floating below your feet, the red sun shining on the distant mountain top, along with an indescribable feeling of peace and pride.

3. Ta Xua People & Cuisine

Along the journey, you can stop at small Mong villages, enjoy dishes with strong mountain flavors such as:

  • Fragrant smoked buffalo meat
  • Sweet sticky bamboo rice
  • Nam Pia, thang co, or warm corn wine with human affection

Ta Xua people are rustic, gentle, always willing to share smiles and simple daily stories with you.

Not just a mountain climbing journey, Conquering Ta Xua helps you discover the natural beauty and immerse yourself in the peace.

If you are looking for a place to “refresh yourself”, to breathe in the fresh air and capture the quiet moments in the middle of the forest, don’t hesitate. Let Origin Vietnam accompany you on the journey to touch the clouds of Ta Xua – a trip not only to remember, but also to love. Join now!
