Ta Xua – Vietnam: Standing on the cloud

Ta Xua is the 10th highest peak in Vietnam with 2,650m height. Ta Xua is one of the mountain range contained 3 peaks which is the natural boundary of Yen Bai and Son La province. Ta Xua can take 2 points of fraud, 1 is the peak Ta Xua (Yen Bai) is one of the peak of the Vietnam 10th 2.650m height. Ta Xua is a small mountain peak of Bac Yen district, Son La province (240 km from Hanoi). It is over 100km far from the center of Moc Chau district, It would be great if you could combine to travel both Moc Chau & Ta Xua in a journey.

Best time to travel?

The best time for hunting the cloud in Ta Xua is Winter & Spring (from November to the end of March). During this time, your Lucky rate to see the sea of cloud will be higher.  Not everyone can succeed in hunting those clouds. Keep checking weather and humidity forecast.

How to go to Ta Xua?

Ta Xua is a new travel destination discovered by Vietnamese Bikers. You can come to this places by driving a motorbike or car.  It is quite  difficult to rent a motorbike in Ta Xua. There is not so many tours to Ta Xua. Moreover, it is still very new to foreigners so I don’t think that you could find an English tour to this places. If you still want to come to this place by tours, you could try PYS Travel company. I am going to try this tour soon so please wait for my next blog post.

1. By your own mortobike. It is 240km far from Hanoi city centre.
2. Catch a shutter car from Yen Nghia Coach station in Ha Dong district, Hanoi city to Bac Yen district, Son La province. And then look for mortobike taxi service from local people (Xe om) to Ta Xua centre.
3. Book a tour. Not so many but you can try PSY Travel. This is the only option that I can find at the moment. There might be more tour provider in the future when Ta Xua travel service is improved.
