Located about 20 km northeast of the city of Lai Chau, Pu Ta Leng has an altitude of 3049m (the 3rd of the 5 highest mountains in Vietnam). At an altitude of 3,049 meters, the summit of Putaleng is one of the three highest peaks in Vietnam, after Fansipan and Pusilung, where there is a stunning rhododendron trail. If Fansipan is called to the “rooftop of Indochina,” then Pu Ta Leng would be the second rooftop that adventure travelers want to conquer at least once in a lifetime. This will be a perfect destination for adventure-seeking travelers.

To conquer the summit of Pu Ta Leng,travelers will need about 2 days and 3 nights, to traverse pristine forests, waterfalls, streams, and diverse vegetation… and once they reach the top, they will be greeted by hidden oases among the sea of clouds at an altitude of 3,049 meters. Layers of white clouds against the blue sky and the green of the forests here resemble a magnificent painting..

Every year, from October to March is the best time for travelers to conquer the peak of Pu Ta Leng, thanks to the natural beauty and the variety of wildflowers, especially the rhododendron blooms that cover the mountain slopes all the way to the summit.

Standing on the summit of Pu Ta Leng, visitors will be able to gaze upon a sea of white clouds floating on a sunny, windy blue sky, and enjoy views of many other high peaks like Bạch Mộc Nương Tử, Ngũ Chỉ Sơn, and on clear days, even Fansipan. This scene is like a breathtaking natural painting in the midst of majestic mountains.

Standing at the summit of Putaleng – the boundary between earth and sky, you can relax your body and soul, blending with nature, listening to the sound of babbling streams, birds singing, and the whistling wind through the forest, temporarily forgetting the hustle and bustle of life.

However, a necessary reminder when trekking is that, besides physical health, safety knowledge and shared experiences are crucial. It is important to observe and monitor the weather, and most importantly, seek the assistance of local people to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
