Ta Chi Nhu in northern Vietnam highlands is mesmerizing with its clouds and blankets of violet flowers along the slopes in October. Dubbed the Roof of Yen Bai Province, the 2,979-meter Ta Chi Nhu peak in Tram Tau District is Vietnam’s seventh highest. Despite its evident attractiveness, it only became famous in the Vietnamese trekking community in 2013 after a few photo albums of the mountain were uploaded on the Internet and described as "heaven on earth."
The mountain is also known as Phu Song Sung by the Thai ethnic, or Chung Chua Nha by the Mong people, and is part of the Pu Luong mountain of the Hoang Lien Son range. Ta Chi Nhu is a perfect start to fulfill your dream of conquering the mountain top because there are not many obstacles or difficulties during the ascent.
The mountain is also home to horses, goats and cows. Local residents visit animal huts on the mountain every week, bringing salt to feed their animals.
