Trekking Mount Lung Cung is a hard mountain trekking tour for 4 days, 3 nights. This trekking adventure brings us to the summit of Mount Lung Cung (2,913m), among the highest mountain peaks in Vietnam.
Trekking Tour Mount Lung Cung Overview
Our adventure tour involves 2-3 hours on motorbike on rock-strewn mountain path from Tu Le Valley to the Tu San Village where we start our trek. The trekking time ranges from 6.5 hours to 7 hours depending on individuals.
On the way down, we will descend the mountain to Che Cu Nha, near Mu Cang Chai Township, on the other side of the mountain. It is normally the case that the trek downhill is 1 hour less compared to that uphill.
Accommodations on the tour are at a simple hotel for the first night and in a hut in the mountain on the second night, and at a homestay for the third night. Our local Hmong team will prepare necessary food and water for the meals on the trek. AdventureGreen also provides candies and biscuits… to help you with more energy. Important notes on what to bring and weather conditions are provided upon booking.
