The mountain scenery changes frequently throughout the trek. The mist rolls in, clouds clear away and the sun comes and goes. The most impressive mountain is Mount Fansipan which at 3143 meters is Vietnam's highest mountain. It is often obscured by cloud and is a fairly challenging climb. The coldest and foggiest months are January and February.. The best time to visit is between March and May which is the dry season. The weather warms up in summer but can be quite rainy. It is usually cool at night and the humidity is much less noticable then in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh.
