New adventure company for Indochina

HANOI – Mountain climbing in Vietnam and exploring off the beaten track adventure trails in Cambodia and Laos are among programmes being offered by Asia’s newest adventure operator, The Indochina Trekking Company.

A range of 17 programmes across the three countries has been created specifically to cater to global demand for adventure, cycling, camping, kayaking and trekking in the region.

The Indochina Trekking Company also specialises in creating tailor-made itineraries for FIT travellers and groups.

Product on offer includes a three-day climb of Mount Fansipan, the “rooftop of Indochina” which at 3143 metres is Vietnam’s highest peak.

The Fansipan trek is configured on four to eight hour treks with the actual ascent taking place early on the morning of day two allowing climbers the opportunity to enjoy the sun rising over China.

Additional highlights include visits to remote villages and pristine bamboo rainforest before arriving at the Tonkinese Alpine village of Sa Pa close to the Chinese border and the end point for the trek.

The programme is priced from USD193 per person which includes all meals while on the trek, tent accommodation and camping equipment and English-speaking guides and local H’mong porters.
