Enjoy the captivating storytelling and stunning photographs from one of our participants, sharing their experience of hiking through the mountains and valleys of Northern Vietnam on a recent adventure with us.
Nothing captures the spirit of a journey quite like the honest, day-by-day reflections of the travelers who experienced it firsthand. In September 2026, seasoned Norwegian mountain hiker Arnt Flatmo joined our hiking trip to Northern Vietnam to explore the highlands of the Tonkinese Alps. He traded the serene Autumn colors of mountainous Norway for the bustling colorful streets of Hanoi, the green and golden terraced valleys of Sapa, the fire red summit of Mount Fansipan (3,143m) at sunrise. A pretty fair trade we think!
Across a 12-part travelogue on his blog, Fjordpeaks, Arnt documents the full journey with candid storytelling, humor, and stunning photography, covering everything from night trains, traditional water puppetry, and vibrant local markets to steep jungle climbs and unforgettable moments with our local guides.
