Adventure to Lung Cung Peak – A Hidden Gem in the Northwest
Nestled deep within the remote mountains of Yen Bai province, Lung Cung is a rising star among Vietnam’s trekking destinations. This peak offers an unforgettable journey through wild forests, vast bamboo groves, and flower-filled meadows.
Standing at an altitude of over 2,900 meters, Lung Cung rewards hikers with panoramic views of layered mountains and sea-like clouds drifting across the sky. Each season brings its own charm—from blooming wildflowers in spring to golden grass hills in autumn.
Unlike popular trekking routes, Lung Cung remains unspoiled and peaceful, ideal for adventurers seeking solitude and raw natural beauty.
Group tours typically depart from Hanoi every Friday evening. For weekly itineraries and availability, please contact Viettrekking.
