Bach Moc Luong Tu (Ky Quan San) located on the border between Lao Cai and Lai Chau province, is one of the most majestic, beautiful and poetic moutains of the Northwest.
To climb Bach Moc Luong Tu, you can choose one of two routes:
+ The first road: starting from Den Sung village, Sin Suoi Ho commune, Phong Tho district, Lai Chau.
+ The second road: starting from Ky Quan San village, Sang Ma Sao commune, Bat Xat district, Lao Cai. This is also the road chosen by most people because the it is not so steep and easy to climb.
*The journey to conquer the mountain
The best time is at the end of August – April when the weather is beautiful and sunny.
* From Bat Xat, cross the first steep slopes
This way is with slope, moderate incline & gentle. However, you still need to cross the corn forests, the grazing grounds of the Mong people here. Sometimes the higher you go, the closer you are to the top of the mountain, you will see them bobbing & lurking in the clouds. So just take advantage and take some beautiful photos.
You should prepare boots, dark clothes and long sleeves to avoid getting scratched when crossing muddy sections & going through corn fields.
* Bathing in the stream on the climbing path
The most difficult but interesting and full of experience is the steep slope from “Muoi” Moutain to the top. This is the ridge of the mountain which is very craggy, bumpy, slippery and has many steep rocks.
You should hold firmly and move slowly. You also need to go in groups so that everyone can support each other.
* The road close to the edge of the cliff
Crossing the ridge, you will follow the road with one side is a deep abyss, one side is a high mountain. Despite dangerous, it is extremely interesting because from here you are getting closer to Ky Quan San. From this height, just zoom out and admire what you have just conquered. The villages are undulating. The mountain peaks next to them are hidden behind white clouds. It’s so majestic and beautiful!
Overcoming more than 3000m, you have officially conquered the 4th highest mountain of Vietnam, Ky Quan San. Clouds swoop down to your face, as if you are drowning, swimming in the ocean of clouds.
