Nam Kang-HoTao mountain hiking

Nam Kang-HoTao mountain hiking

Nam Kang HoTao Peak is 2,881 m high in Hoang Lien National Park. The peak belongs to sub-zone 303 A, Hoang Tha Thau mountain in Ta Trung Ho village, Ban Ho commune, Sa Pa district.

This is one of the dream destinations of adventurous trekkers because of the difficulty and wild beauty of the mountains.

Since 2017 Nam Kang Ho Tao has been known to backpackers and immediately crossed Pusilung to become the most difficult mountain to conquer in the Northwest because of its long distance, many steep cliffs and fierce streams.
The trip lasted 3 days and 2 nights, going and returning in the direction of Ta Van commune, Sa Pa district, Lao Cai province with a total length of 32 km. Before that, tourists who conquered Nam Kang Ho Tao often climbed spontaneously. Climbers usually follow the direction through Thao A village, Tan Uyen district, Lai Chau province and then return to the old road (50 km) or go to Lai Chau and return to Ta Van street (44 km).
