To conquer the peak of Lanh Than (Lao Cai) at an altitude of 2,860 meters, we traveled from Hanoi to Sapa and rented a motorbike to Phin Ho village, Y Ty commune, Bat Xat district, Lao Cai province.

The road to the top was full of shrubs, thorns and strong winds, so it was extremely difficult to drive, not to mention the slippery surface that was the result of last night’s rain.

My companion was really an excellent driver. Together, we managed the 16-kilometer journey to conquer the 2860-meter-high mountain peak./.
