Famous among young travelers as an attractive destination in
Son La province, Pha Luong mountain peak is considered the roof of
Moc Chau. The most special
thing here is not located at an altitude of more than 2,000 that are swathes of
hectares all over the mountain like another world, separate from everything
around. The steep cliffs with numerous tectonic fissures making it so
spectacular and unique. Pha Luong is also a natural boundary between Vietnam and
Laos.
Located in the full of obstacles and difficulty Pha Luong still people here such
as "silk road" to transport drugs. This makes the journey to conquer this
mountain we have to get back to 3-4 times. You must have a license from Pha
Luong border posts and only go in one day, that is what we have been following
the failed attempts.
In order to get Pha Luong mountain, there are two supply lines to go. One is
from the direction of Xuan Nha Forest, the beginning of Moc Chau town about
40km, climbing journey you have the land to Laos. Currently, this stretch of
road has been banned completely. The second road directions from Long Sap gate,
the Pha Luong, this is the direction in which the indigenous people are often
away. Second route is shorter, but steep and completely go in the Xuan Nha
forest.
The Pha Luong in the morning still covered by mist hung white. We headed to the
border posts, the report also is to be the way to rest after a heavy off-road
just then. Soldiers border open and friendly, click teacup sits words reminding
his Vietnam station chief of special attention, as well as a number of jungle
skills.
One thing especially when standing at the top of Pha Luong, we easily recognize
the border between Vietnam and Laos because there is a huge difference in the
flora. Side the territory of our country, Xuan Nha forest dense lush spring the
Laos side is bare hills, vast grass hill.
There are lots of H'Mong couple up here to have fun. This is taken as H'Mong region rendezvous. They look the most colorful gowns and fun along with a huge
bouquet of azaleas. |
