TOUR TREKKING PUTALENG – THE MYSTERIOUS OLD FOREST OF THE NORTHWEST

Difficulty: 7/10 – Medium

Putaleng Peak has long been voted as one of the most typical and beautiful tropical jungles in our country. Therefore, the Putaleng trekking tour will definitely bring you many new experiences.

Perhaps when mentioning Putaleng, people will immediately think of Rhododendron flowers – the flower known as the queen of the Northwest mountains and forests. Many trekkers come to Putaleng around March every year to see the rhododendrons in full bloom or the petals stretching along the path. However, Putaleng is not only stopped by the beauty of rhododendron flowers but also by the majestic mountain scenery, primeval forests, cool streams on hot summer days, or sometimes you will feel a little shiver when lost in the magical world of bamboo forests.

At an altitude of 3049m above sea level, Putaleng lands in 3rd place in the top 10 highest peaks in Vietnam, after Fansipan and Pusilung. There are many ways to conquer this mountain peak, but the most popular route is still the route from Ho Thau village, Lai Chau and towards Ta Leng village, Lai Chau. The first day will probably be the most difficult and arduous when you will have to overcome 3 long slopes lasting nearly 1 day to reach the resting hut. But once you get used to it and are healed by the cool stream and nature of Putaleng, the path to conquer gradually becomes easier. Putaleng is not an easy mountain to conquer, but it is worth experiencing once in your life and registering for the Putaleng trekking tour of Wild Adventure Vietnam so we can help you have a wonderful experience here.
