In recent years, trekking has become an exciting and fresh travel trend among young people. Not only is it a chance to explore untouched nature, but trekking also helps build endurance, push personal limits, and reconnect with yourself. If you're just getting started, here are three must-try trekking trails across Vietnam, each offering a unique and unforgettable adventure.
Located in Bắc Yên District, Sơn La Province, Tà Xùa is a legendary trekking spot in Northern Vietnam, famous for its winding “dinosaur spine” that cuts through a sea of clouds.
A typical trek in Tà Xùa lasts around 2 days and 1 night, covering 12–15 km of forest trails, steep slopes, and rugged paths. It’s a great challenge for those with decent fitness levels but limited trekking experience. If you're lucky, you'll catch a glimpse of a dreamy sea of clouds at dawn — a surreal sight you won’t forget.
Besides the dinosaur spine, Tà Xùa also offers attractions like Wave-Watching Hill, lush primeval forests, and cool, refreshing air — perfect for a full mental detox. Nights can be chilly, so pack warm clothes and camping gear to stay cozy.
If you’re not ready for long hikes, the Hải Vân trekking route is an ideal introduction. Spanning about 6 km, this journey can be completed in 4–6 hours round-trip.
This trail starts at Hải Vân Gate, a historical site from the Nguyễn Dynasty, and leads you through lush jungle to the breathtaking Lăng Cô Bay, dubbed one of the world’s most beautiful bays. From the top, you’ll see the iconic S-curve of Hải Vân Pass hugging the coastline — a truly majestic view.
Thanks to its short distance and moderate terrain, this trail is perfect for beginners. However, it can get sunny and there are no rest stops along the way, so don’t forget to bring enough water, sun protection, and light snacks.
Known as the most stunning trekking route in Vietnam, the Tà Năng – Phan Dũng trail is a top choice for adventurers ready to level up. The journey spans 55 km, crossing through Lâm Đồng, Ninh Thuận, and Bình Thuận provinces over 3 days and 2 nights.
What makes this trail unique is its ever-changing landscape — from Tà Năng’s pine forests, to rolling green hills, streams, rocky climbs, and dry forests in Phan Dũng. The route is moderately difficult but long, so you’ll need solid stamina.
For beginners, it's highly recommended to join a guided trekking tour with full support in logistics, safety, and route planning. Be sure to bring a tent, dry food, power banks, and personal medical supplies.
Regardless of which trail you choose, always pack these must-haves:
Trekking shoes or sturdy sneakers with good grip
Breathable sportswear, moisture-wicking clothes, and a windbreaker
15–30L backpack for water, food, power banks, and flashlights
Reusable water bottle, energy snacks like dried fruits or bars
Waterproof bags, first aid kit, insect repellent
Trekking pole, especially helpful for long or steep trails
Trekking is a powerful way to train your mind and body, explore the beauty of Vietnam, and reconnect with nature. Each trail presents its own challenges, but the sense of accomplishment and unforgettable memories are worth every step.
