Overview
The saying 'Ta Xua - no joke' accurately describes what you'll experience on a Ta Xua trekking tour. Although it only ranks 13th among the top 15 highest mountains in Vietnam at 2865m, conquering Ta Xua is no easy feat.
Ta Xua is located in the southern part of the Hoang Lien Son mountain range, on the border between Bac Yen District (Son La) and Tram Tau District (Yen Bai). Known as the "Kingdom of Clouds and Winds," Ta Xua is surrounded by towering mountains, creating stunning sea of clouds, mysterious forests, and the iconic "Dinosaur Spine" trail. Despite the challenges and risks, climbers will feel a sense of immense satisfaction upon conquering the wild and majestic nature, and especially overcoming their own limits. Many people mistakenly confuse Ta Xua (Yen Bai) with Ta Xùa (Son La). However, you can only conquer Ta Xua (Yen Bai) with your own two feet.
