We like hiking, are not experienced mountain climbers, didn't make it all the way to the top, were exhausted after our return on earth, wasted for the next few days and loved it all.
We arranged our hike through the hotel (Victoria) tour desk and were picked up at 5:30 by Ly Lào San, from Tom travel. Very nice young guy, with a great knowledge of the mountain and good command of English. After 5 hours we had reached the spot where the last steep climb of a few hundred meters begins, but we were already too tired and realised we had a long way back to go as well. Enjoyed (almost) every minute of it
