Day 4 - DOI PUI MOUNTAIN

This is an exhilarating experience, but not for the faint hearted. Four-wheel drive vehicles take us to the base of the mountain where we begin our ascent. Then, when we reach 3200 feet we drop into a highland jungle gully, passing through terrain that changes from pine forest, through to tropical rainforest and banana plantations. At the bottom we take a long road up to the summit, or you can choose to walk if you like. Eventually we reach the end of the forest trail where we are met by our H’mong host families. We overnight in local houses, and enjoy the cool mountain climate. (BD)
