Pha Luong Peak

A flat-topped mountain on the border with Laos, reached by a rough track and then a steep climb to a cliff edge that drops away hundreds of metres, with the Lao ranges beyond. The most demanding thing to do on the plateau and the most rewarding.

About Pha Luong Peak

A flat-topped mountain on the border with Laos, reached by a rough track and then a steep climb to a cliff edge that drops away hundreds of metres, with the Lao ranges beyond. The most demanding thing to do on the plateau and the most rewarding.

Pha Luong Peak is one of the places most visitors to Moc Chau make time for. A high plateau of tea terraces, dairy farms and plum orchards that turns white with blossom in January and February.

Before you go: It sits in a border zone and access requires clearance from the local border post, which a guesthouse can arrange. The trail is frequently closed after heavy rain.
