As one of the 10 highest mountains in Vietnam, Ta Chi Nhu is known as the ocean in the clouds because it is famous for the sea of clouds in the middle of the sky.
Located in Tram Tau district, Yen Bai province, Ta Chi Nhu is called Phu Song Sung by the Thai people and Chung Chua Nha by the Mong people. With an average altitude of about 2,979 - 2,985 m above sea level, Ta Chi Nhu is always a big challenge for climbers.
The road to the top of Ta Chi Nhu is not for the faint-hearted. The rugged terrain, harsh climate with strong winds and low temperatures are the challenges you will face. However, it is these difficulties that create the special appeal of this mountain.
According to the experience of trekkers, the ideal time to conquer Ta Chi Nhu is from October to March of the following year. Because during this time, the weather is cool, there is little rain, the sky is a bit cold and there are many opportunities to see the sea of clouds.
In addition, if you want to immerse yourself in the dreamy purple paradise of Chi Pau flowers, you should come to Ta Chi Nhu in October. This flower grows in large clumps, covering the mountain slopes, creating an extremely romantic scene.
The story of the name Chi Pau is associated with a lovely confusion. When tourists asked the H'Mong people about the name of this purple flower, they answered "chi pau" which means "don't know". Since then, the name Chi Pau has become popular and associated with Ta Chi Nhu.
The road to the top of Ta Chi Nhu is a series of continuous challenges. Steep slopes, slippery cliffs, and streams crossings… will require you to use all your strength and skills.
High winds on the mountain top are one of the biggest challenges you will face. To ensure safety, you should move slowly, keep your balance and always pay attention to changes in the weather.
However, after continuous efforts, you will enjoy the feeling of conquering the mountain peak. From above, you can see the whole view of Yen Bai mountains and forests with overlapping mountain ranges and green valleys.
The sea of clouds floats like a giant carpet covering the mountains and forests. All create a beautiful natural picture that you can hardly find anywhere else.
If you are a trekking enthusiast and want to explore the wild beauty of nature, Ta Chi Nhu will definitely be an ideal destination. However, before setting off, you need to prepare carefully in terms of physical strength, equipment and learn carefully about the route to ensure the safety of your trip.
