Trekking Routes You Should Experience Once in Your Life
For young travelers with a spirit of exploration, conquering every road across the country is often a big dream. If you have the passion but not much experience yet, learning about routes and making a list of treks is extremely important. Let To Ong Adventure help you with that. To Ong will give you the clearest overview of 5 well-known routes among trekkers, across three different difficulty levels.
The Easternmost Point – where Vietnam welcomes its first sunrise
If you are just beginning your trekking journey, conquering the easiest trekking routes is the perfect stepping stone for later trips. That makes Vietnam’s easternmost point one of the first trekking destinations you should add to your list.
Where the first rays of sunlight appear
Conquering Mui Doi in Khanh Hoa, where Vietnam welcomes its earliest sunrise, has always been an experience young travel lovers want to try. The feeling of touching the first rays of sunlight is truly memorable. The journey is not too long; with just 2 days and 1 night, you can reach the landmark of Vietnam’s easternmost point. Throughout the trip, you will pass through many emotions as you overcome difficulties and challenges. Crossing four hills, Cat Tham, Co Ong, Suoi Tom, and Bai Rang, you will experience many types of terrain, including steep slopes, gravel, dense bush forest, thorny-leaf forest, and white sand beaches.
The route is not far, but it is full of experiences
Although the distance is not far, the Easternmost Point deserves to become your first trekking experience. It broadens your view of nature’s beauty while giving you memorable challenges.
The 8 Nang Tien route – where mountains and sea meet
The next destination you should add to your list of treks to try at least once is the 8 Nang Tien route, stretching from Ninh Thuan to Khanh Hoa.
It is called the 8 Nang Tien route because it includes 8 beautiful beaches running from Ninh Thuan to Khanh Hoa: Bai Thung, Bai Nuoc Ngot, Bai Cha La, Bai Binh Tien, Bai Ba Bong, Bai Tom, Bai Con, and Bai Chuoi. Here, you will conquer untouched rocky shores, from forest slopes to coastal paths. This may be a place where nature pleases people who love both the heat of the sea and the coolness of forest winds.
Where the beauty of mountains, forests, and sea comes together
Because nature has given this place terrain of “golden forests and silver seas,” it also contains certain risks. While it brings fresh and exciting experiences, you should still be very careful on your journey.

Ta Nang Phan Dung – Vietnam’s most beautiful trekking route
A trekking route recently shared widely among young travelers is the great-forest route of Ta Nang Phan Dung. This trail connects 3 provinces, Lam Dong, Ninh Thuan, and Binh Thuan, with a total length of more than 55 km. Trekkers must cross different terrain types such as forests, mountain passes, and streams. Perhaps because this is a transition zone between the Central Highlands and the south-central coast, trekking this route rewards you with mesmerizing natural scenery.
The trekking route known as the most beautiful in Vietnam
What attracts trekkers to Ta Nang Phan Dung is its natural beauty, favorable climate, and very friendly local people. Nature has generously given this place trails as beautiful as silk ribbons draped across mountain slopes, rolling hills close together, and at times, towering mountains. The climate in Ta Nang Phan Dung is kind to explorers: mornings are cool, noon can be a little hot, and evenings become pleasant and slightly chilly. Beyond scenery and climate, local residents are also friendly and ready to help whenever you need.
Nature and climate are both ideal for a trekking trip
Cloud hunting on Lao Than Mountain
The next candidate on this list is Lao Than, one of the easier northern trekking routes among Putaleng, Ky Quan San, and Lao Than for beginners. Located at 2,826 m, it is known as the “roof of Y Ty.” From here, looking into the distance, you can admire a natural scene you may never have witnessed before.
Poetic beauty at the “roof of Y Ty”
The route to the summit is mostly low grassy hills and gentle trails, so the journey is not too difficult. Even so, what you experience will be unforgettable. You will pass through forest areas burned for farming, with their distinctive smoky smell and dry trunks scorched by harsh sunlight. You will also witness the wonderful harmony of clouds, sky, sun, and wind in the natural scenery here.
The route is mainly low grassy hills
Perhaps what makes Lao Than Mountain especially famous as a trekking route is the feeling of cloud hunting. Standing on the summit, you can truly immerse yourself in a “sea of clouds” while looking at terraced fields and rhododendron flowers peeking through the mist. All the beauty that nature paints here is worth the time and effort it takes to conquer.
Ky Quan San – the most poetic trekking route in the Northwest
If you are a traveler passionate about conquering Vietnam’s high peaks, Ky Quan San is the next trekking route you should experience at least once in your life.
Experience the feeling of touching clouds on Ky Quan San summit
Ky Quan San Peak is famous for the most poetic beauty in the Northwest and has attracted many trekking lovers to come and conquer it. The 4-day, 3-night journey, mostly over steep terrain, will awaken your desire to conquer. You will experience a heart-racing feeling while carefully crossing a rugged “dinosaur spine” ridge with steep rock formations. After skillfully conquering two peaks at 2,600 m and 2,800 m, nature will reward you when you reach the summit of Ky Quan San.
A journey that requires skill and the desire to conquer
There is nothing quite like personally experiencing the feeling of touching the clouds, seeing them with your own eyes, and storing memories of cloud-filled skies surrounding small villages.
