Review Ta Xua 3N2D without internet 🏞 Location: Ta Xua Commune, Bac Yen Town, Son La Province. 200km from Hanoi ⏰Suitable time from November to March. But I went in August because the weather was unpredictable 🚘Transportation: Limousine bus straight to Ta Xua from Khanh Thinh bus station - Return bus is a sleeper bus. Travel time is about 5 hours 🗓 Suggested itinerary: Day 1: - Take the 7am bus to TX around 12pm. Get a motorbike and have lunch at a restaurant in the center, 50k for a plate of mixed fried rice but couldn't find anything =)) - The Lu Tre Homestay I chose to stay at is separate from the center, located on a hill, you have to ride your motorbike from the bottom up to the home, the first part of the pass is small, the last part is steep and can only be walked. Especially no wifi, there is phone signal but except Viettel with weak 3G, the rest cannot connect - Struggling to get to the home, so we decided to take a nap, wake up and take pictures in the room because the view that day was clear + the afternoon sun was so great - After taking pictures, we went down to have dinner, it was the same restaurant as at noon, but the 600k hotpot combo was better quality, 4 people could not finish it Day 2: - Have breakfast at the homestay for convenience, instant noodles with vegetables and eggs for 30k. Start moving to the dinosaur's spine about 12km away, the road is also easy to go, the further away from the center, the more beautiful the scenery. At the end, if you want to get to the spine, you can walk about 1km, or rent a motorbike taxi there for 60k round trip, this part is a bit chaotic, as soon as customers arrive, they run out to offer all kinds of things. If you are brave, take a motorbike taxi downhill, the road is extremely bad, you should choose a motorbike with chains on the wheels to grip the road better. #taxua #trip #travel

Ta Xua Peak, with an altitude of over 2,800 meters, is one of the highest peaks in Vietnam. It is located in Bac Yen District (Son La Province) and borders Yen Bai District (Yen Bai City). Situated 240 kilometers from Hanoi, Ta Xua Peak enjoys a cool climate year-round and is a renowned destination for cloud watching from October to April. The terrain of Ta Xua Peak is narrow and steep, with treacherous roads on both sides. Besides traveling by motorcycle or car, you can also hike to Ta Xua Peak from Yen Bai District or Son La Province, with routes varying in length.

Woke up in the early morning chill of Tà Xùa, wrapped in layers and excitement, and hiked up the legendary “Dinosaur Spine” ridge — just in time to catch the sea of clouds rolling beneath my feet. The air was crisp, the view unreal, and for a moment, it felt like walking on the edge of heaven. Cloud hunting isn’t easy — but in Tà Xùa, it’s worth every frozen finger and every early alarm. Vietnam’s highlands never disappoint. #TaXua #CloudHunting #DinosaurSpine #VietnamMountains #NoỏthernEscape

There are many home stays, but you can’t really find them on any websites, so easier is to check the google map and then text them directly Be aware of the road: up and down and serpentine. If you are not confident in your driving skills (motorbike), get the driver in advance Nice places to visit: Lonely tree Mom Ca Heo Dinosaur back Nice cafes to see the sunset: panorama coffee and ca phe mi oi (there are several more in that area, so you can just pick one you like) #familytrip#nature #hiking #vietnam

🏮🏮🏮𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖 𝐓𝐀̀ 𝐗𝐔̀𝐀𝐀 𝟐𝐍𝟏Đ: 🏮🏮🏮 🛵🚌Transportation: From Hanoi to Ta Xua, you can choose the means of transport: motorbike, limousine or sleeper bus. 🚐 🍂 I took Quang Nghia bus: 033 4255255 Ticket price: 550k/person/round trip from Hanoi. The owner of this company is super enthusiastic and easy-going, when I went, I took the sleeper bus at night, and when I returned, I took the limo in the afternoon to sit more comfortably and take the limo faster. My house is in the center and rents motorbikes (200k/bike/day) and fills up with #50k of gas to go comfortably. The owner will bring your luggage to the house for you. Everyone who goes to Ta Xua early at night has a free place to stay. In the morning, you can get dressed and go explore Ta Xua. EVERYONE CAN REFER TO 1 of the following bus companies: 🚐 Khanh Thinh Station: 1900 9418 🚐 Thanh My Station: 0941 256 888 🚐 Nguyen Hang Station, Hai Giang,.... - Round-trip ticket price will be around 550k~650k. 🏠 Accommodation: If you only have 2 days and 1 night in Ta Xua, I recommend you choose a homestay in the center for convenience in traveling and exploring Ta Xua. - Homestays in the center for everyone to refer to: Cam's House Ta Xua, Emi House, May Home, ManDo, Po Mu, A Phu,.... - Everyone can inbox the homestay's page directly to receive a room quote^^ . 🍂 As for us, Homestay Nha Cua An is in a beautiful location close to million-dollar view cafes. The room is clean and ready to hunt for the sea of ​​clouds. (The minus point is that the stairs down to the room are steep and a bit tiring to walk 😭😭 for someone who can't walk like me, I'm out of breath, but everything is worth experiencing) Room price for 3 people is #750k/Room/Night Here, the next morning you can wander around nearby to hunt for sunrise and clouds ✅ 🤷🏻♀️My 2D1D schedule for everyone to refer to 🥰 - We chose Quang Nghia Bus and traveled from the night before (we left from Hanoi at 10pm) to save time, the feeling of going at night was also very fast, after a nap we arrived at Ta Xua 🤣 - 6:30 am: Quang Nghia Bus brought our luggage to Home, we just rented a car to Dinosaur's Back and had a million dollar noodle bowl for breakfast there. (The way to the spine is easy to walk in some places but there are some places that are super bad, very far from the center, the scariest thing is to hire a motorbike taxi for more than 1km to get to the spine point, I think it's better to walk to check in, but if I rent a motorbike, it's terrible, I fell off my bike 😭😭 but luckily it's okay, and then after a while, I walked and got some super beautiful photos. The natural landscape of Vietnam is truly unimaginable in any photo 😍😍😍 - Playing at the spine until 10:30, we moved from the spine to An's house, had lunch, drank coffee and waited to check in. - 13:00: Check in at the homestay, then we rested, because we were tired, we stayed at An, wandered around, took photos and went to try the #bestseller drinks at the nearby Ta Xua cafes, I was super satisfied with every dish, it was quality and worth trying. Waiting until the time to hunt for the Sunset but our luck was not enough to hunt 😭😭 regret but anyway, on the morning of the 2nd day, I decided to wake up early to hunt for the sunrise and the sea of ​​clouds (THIS IS WORTH THE EFFORTS OF WAKEING UP EARLY, WE SUCCESSFULLY HUNT THE sunrise and the sea of ​​clouds) 𝑵𝒈𝒂̀𝒚 2: 🍃 4:30 a.m. woke up to hunt for the sunrise and the sea of ​​clouds successfully, then continued to enjoy breakfast drinks.

Ta Xua is like a beautiful oil painting in the middle of the Northwest mountains. In the morning, white clouds float all over the valley, gently rolling around the mountain slopes like soft silk strips. The mountains follow each other in deep green in the mist, both majestic and gentle. The early morning sunlight penetrates the sea of ​​clouds, dyeing the whole space golden, making each layer of mist shimmer and magically shimmer. The gentle wind blowing, the pungent smell of grass and trees, the chirping of forest birds create a natural, clear and peaceful symphony. Standing on the top of Ta Xua, people seem to be lost in a dream, just wanting to be quiet to embrace that fragile and charming beauty in their hearts. Ta Xua is extremely beautiful this season Not cloud hunters but clouds hunting people 😂😂😂 Here is a super chill schedule on Ta Xua for those who are confident and have good character: 1. Welcome the sunrise on the Dinosaur's Back. 2. Drink hot cocoa at Mi Oi Coffee Shop 3. Eat black chicken hotpot at Ta Xua Peak. 4. Wear a thick down jacket, welcome the cold below 10 degrees Celsius. 5. Pour a cup of noodles, eat and watch the scenery through the homestay window. 6. Gather around the fire to play werewolf all night long. 7. Visit the Mong people's house in Ban Cheu 8. Enjoy grilled corn, eggs, and sweet potatoes on the roadside 9. Check in at the lonely tree to see if it is lonelier than you 10. Watch the magical purple sunset on Wind Peak. December to March is the best time to hunt clouds in Ta Xua, so hurry up and go!

Is 5 days in Ta Xua boring? Ta Xua does not have many attractions, so people who come here just need to visit Thao Nguyen, Song Lung, Cay Co Don, Dinh Gio or see the sea of ​​clouds, which is more than enough. Going for about 3 days is also leisurely for this schedule, but staying for 5 days... is there really anywhere left to go? 𝐍𝐠𝐚𝐲 𝟏, 2:00 AM 𝐓𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐫 The first 2 days here, I decided to follow the Di tron ​​khong tour schedule, departing from Hanoi, the tour took me to all the typical attractions of Ta Xua. What impressed me about this tour was: knowing how to arrange the schedule so that every place I visited was extremely deserted (even though it was a weekend), you took extremely beautiful photos, the enthusiastic tour guide connected everyone and the tour provided a lot of food and drink! 𝐍𝐠𝐚𝐲 𝟑, 𝟒, 𝟓: 𝐊𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐨𝐮 ... separated from Ta Xua commune in 2008). Here, I have a different perspective on Ta Xua, to know that besides the clouds, TX also has the majestic Dinosaur Waterfall, the blue hydroelectric lake, and the Eagle Point with a view of the majestic terraced fields. For 3 days here, I stayed at the Cloud Valley Hang Dong homestay, a lovely home located near Sang village, so it was easy to meet and interact with the hospitable Mong people. Here, I could watch the beautiful sunset right in the house, the dawn peeking out the window. In the evening, I had grilled food and mushroom hotpot, which were really delicious. Maybe just a little more clouds would be perfect 😆 But it was okay because I got to join a light trekking tour to Dinosaur Waterfall (organized by the home), and was led by the owner of the home to the Eagle Point to watch the sunset. A cloudless Ta Xua like that is perfect for me! ♥️ That's it, 5 days in Ta Xua was not boring at all, I even didn't go to all the places I wanted to go. Everyone should try traveling to Ta Xua this way ^^ #dulichtaxua

#vietnam Ta Xua is a hidden gem nestled in the northern mountains of Vietnam's Son La province, rapidly gaining popularity among adventure seekers and nature lovers. It’s especially famous for its "cloud hunting," where visitors can witness breathtaking seas of clouds floating over the valleys. The best time to experience this phenomenon is from late autumn to early spring (November to March), but as it’s weather-dependent, you'll need some luck for the perfect cloud sighting! Here’s my suggested itinerary: Day 1: Depart from Hanoi early in the morning (the journey takes about 5 hours). Stop for lunch in Bac Yen, then continue the drive to Ta Xua. In the afternoon, take it easy and relax at Đỉnh Gió—the highest point in Ta Xua town, where you’ll find many cozy coffee shops. This is one of the prime spots for cloud hunting, and you may catch your first glimpse of the sea of clouds here. Overnight near Đỉnh Gió. Day 2: Start the day with an early sunrise (and hopefully a sea of clouds, if the weather cooperates). Afterward, visit some of Ta Xua's iconic spots like Dolphin Peak, The Lonely Tree, and the Highland Grasslands, all close to each other. You can opt to stay another night at Ta Xua Lu Tre Homestay for more cloud hunting opportunities, or drive closer to Dragon Spine (Sống Lưng Khủng Long). Day 3: Get up early for the sunrise and some light trekking along Dragon Spine—one of the best locations for cloud hunting and incredible views. Afterward, enjoy a relaxing cup of coffee, then begin your drive back to Hanoi. Optional: If time allows, consider another day exploring Xím Vàng or take a longer hike to the Ta Xua Peak for a more immersive adventure. One of my most favourite restaurant in Ta Xua is A Phủ restaurant. Very delicious!

#100waysoftravel People often joke that “Ta Xua is a trip of character”. If character is good enough, you will have a fun trip and “viral” photos. Although this trip did not start out really lucky because Ta Xua welcomed me with heavy rains and fog. But I felt happy by welcoming the moment when the weather became clear, the clouds were beautiful, and the sun was shining after a long period of bad weather. It is true that you have to suffer to feel happy 😆. “Thank goodness” that this time I stayed at Cloud Forest. The room was beautiful, the restaurant was beautiful, and the coffee was also beautiful, so even though I stayed at a homestay, I still “enjoyed this moment”. In addition, I found the price and quality here quite reasonable. From here, you can walk to Hien and Mi Oi cafe (2 cafes with the most beautiful cloud hunting and sunset views in Ta Xua). It's a bit of a pity that this time my "luck is not so good" to capture those moments. The room price I rented was 2500k/4 people. Traveling from Hanoi - Ta Xua, I chose Limousine from Tuan Thuy bus company (0981 28 82 82). It takes about 5 hours and the bus company will support resting places if everyone arrives early. Hope everyone has a fun trip and don't worry too much about "luck" 🤣 #chaubuinet #chaubuinetvivu View all 79 comments 8 August 2023

People say: "Ta Xua cloud hunting is a test of dignity." Fortunately, our group was successful in rattan hunting with the 2-day-1-night Ta Xua tour departing from Hanoi. There are many different means of transportation to get to Ta Xua such as motorbikes, passenger cars, tourist cars, etc. You can rent an entire Limousine from Khanh Thinh bus company for 700K/person both to and fro. The bus departed from Hoang Cau Hanoi at 9pm, arrived at Ta Xua in about 5 hours, arrived at Son La city around 12pm, the bus stopped to change the driver and we took the opportunity to go to the bathroom and then continue. The journey is about 50km to Ta Xua. After another hour or so of travel, we were at the "cloud hunting paradise" of Ta Xua. While still sitting in the car, the driver told me to get up and look at the clouds. My eyes were still sleepy and I tried to open them wide enough to see. Well, Ta Xua was so kind to welcome us with a sea of white rolling clouds. At 1:00 a.m. it was even more magical, making us feel like we were lost in a fairyland.

#christmastrip #northvietnam Ta Xua in Son La, Vietnam, is a mesmerizing destination, promising an immersive and adventurous experience for my recent trip. Cloud Hunting: Embark on a cloud-hunting adventure, witnessing the surreal sight of clouds rolling over the mountain ridges. Challenging Treks: Adventure seekers will find challenging yet rewarding trekking trails, offering panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and the chance to explore the diverse flora and fauna of the region. Homestay Experience: Immerse yourself in the local culture by opting for a homestay. Engage with the friendly ethnic communities. I suggest Ta Xua homestay 26. Stargazing Paradise: The dust skies of Ta Xua provide an ideal canvas for stargazing nearby a coffee or homestay. I suggest Mi coffee for this experience.

well come to Sơn La. with resort and cloud paradise at Ta Xua

Perhaps anyone who comes to Ta Xua must set foot on the dinosaur's spine at least once. The reason for this name is because from above, this place looks like the back of a dinosaur. Because it is surrounded by terraced fields and mountains, the dinosaur's spine is a fascinating place to hunt for clouds, especially at dawn.

Ta xua Son La (Vietnam)

Ta Xua is known as the hottest cloud hunting destination at the moment. Although the 2 times I came to Ta Xua, I did not see any clouds, but even without clouds, the natural beauty here still makes everyone feel small in front of the majestic mountains and forests. Although Ta Xua is also more bustling, there is more trash, but Ta Xua is still beautiful, still majestic and still embraces its worries. Hopefully, the local government will soon have a plan so that Ta Xua can maintain its original beauty, still have many green areas and have a plan to handle trash here.
