2-day Hoang Su Phi trek to 2,402 m — lodge night and summit dawn. From US$215 per person. Schedule and enquiry on this page.
This is the two-day Chieu Lau Thi cloud-sea programme from Hoang Su Phi — the primary high-mountain product for guests who want the mountain experience itself, including an overnight rhythm, rather than compressing the climb into one calendar day. Climb from Ta Su Choong on Day 1, sleep at Chieu Lau Thi 2402m Lodge on the approach route near the summit, then walk twenty to thirty minutes to the 2,402 m ridge before dawn on Day 2. Better fit for this programme if the mountain overnight is part of what you want but you prefer a short pre-dawn walk from the lodge rather than a full daylight ascent in one day.

This is the two-day Chieu Lau Thi cloud-sea programme from Hoang Su Phi — the primary high-mountain product for guests who want the mountain experience itself, including an overnight rhythm, rather than compressing the climb into one calendar day. Climb from Ta Su Choong on Day 1, sleep at Chieu Lau Thi 2402m Lodge on the approach route near the summit, then walk twenty to thirty minutes to the 2,402 m ridge before dawn on Day 2. Better fit for this programme if the mountain overnight is part of what you want but you prefer a short pre-dawn walk from the lodge rather than a full daylight ascent in one day. Better fit for the one-day sunrise ridge under Ridge & Cloud if you only have one calendar day and prefer same-day return to town. It is not a harder terrace trek like Ban Luoc — forest, ridge and cold elevation define this walk. For schedule and fitness choice, read One-day vs two-day Chieu Lau Thi; for mountain context, read the Chieu Lau Thi trekking guide.
This two-day programme suits walkers who want the Chieu Lau Thi mountain experience with an overnight at Chieu Lau Thi 2402m Lodge — climbing in daylight on Day 1, a short pre-dawn walk to the 2,402 m ridge on Day 2, then forest descent. Couples and small groups often choose it when cold ridge walking and lodge rhythm matter more than rice-terrace homestays.
Better fit here than the one-day sunrise ridge if the lodge night is part of what you want and you accept mountain forest, sustained ascent and Demanding terrain — not terrace walls like Ban Phung or Ban Luoc. Weaker fit if you only have one calendar day, dislike early starts, or want village homestay progression — compare the one-day ridge with the two-day Chieu Lau Thi lodge programme before you enquire.
Walking distance and road distance are not the same number. Unverified elevation gain and maps stay hidden. Walking distance versus road distance.

Times and stops are indicative. Pace follows the slowest walker, weather and village rhythm on the day.
Two-day Chieu Lau Thi route: vehicle to Ta Su Choong, walk to the lodge, pre-dawn summit at 2,402 m, then descent and return transfer. Day-by-day detail stays in the itinerary below — the map is supplementary schematic evidence only.
This schematic map shows the approximate route sequence, walking sections, transfers and overnight stops. It is not a GPS track; exact trail lines may change with weather, trail conditions and guide decisions.

Walk before dawn toward the 2,402 m ridge, where cloud may fill the valleys below when conditions align. Descend slowly by the eastern path through cardamom forest. Stop for a picnic lunch, then take the road transfer back to town.
Your main bag stays in Hoang Su Phi with the driver while you carry only a daypack to Chieu Lau Thi 2402m Lodge. This is different from homestay handoffs between villages — pack warm layers, headlamp and lodge-night essentials in the bag you carry.
For how luggage handling differs across Hoang Su Phi and Village Treks programmes, read Luggage on Ha Giang treks. For daypack and cold-ridge kit, read Packing for Ha Giang trekking.
Household, lodge or shelter is confirmed for your travel dates when you enquire — we do not guarantee a fixed hotel brand on multi-night plateau routes unless named below.
Better fit for this programme if the mountain overnight is part of what you want, you prefer a short pre-dawn walk from the lodge, and you accept mountain lodge accommodation with room type confirmed at booking. Better fit for the one-day sunrise ridge if you only have one calendar day, prefer returning to town the same evening, and are comfortable with a full daylight ascent in one day.
You arrive on the mountain in daylight, sleep higher on the ridge, and start closer to the summit the following morning — without the full ascent in darkness from town. The overnight rhythm is part of the product, not just logistics for dawn.
Tell us about any relevant health conditions when you enquire, and seek personal medical advice if you are unsure whether sustained cold, exertion and elevation are appropriate for you. Warmth, pace and steady hydration are the practical concerns on the mountain.
Expect cold inside the lodge in winter months — thermals and full warm layers are essential. Beds and blankets are provided; wear thermals if you run cold.
Yes — charging is available at the lodge.
Yes — bathroom facilities are available at the lodge.
Yes — usable internet access is available at the lodge. Do not treat this as hotel Wi-Fi speed or as a substitute for mobile coverage on the trail or summit.
Yes — meals are provided according to the programme: from Day 1 lunch through Day 2 lunch, plus hot drinks at altitude.
Yes — beds and blankets are provided. Room type — private room or dorm-style accommodation — is confirmed for your departure at booking.
The walk is still worthwhile. Ridge views, alpenglow and westward terrace country reward the climb even when valleys stay clear.
Same 2,402 m summit from Ta Su Choong — different rhythm. This programme sleeps at Chieu Lau Thi 2402m Lodge and walks a short pre-dawn section on Day 2. The one-day sunrise ridge compresses the full climb, meal on the crest and descent into one calendar day with a normal morning departure from town after breakfast.
Better fit for Chieu Lau Thi if high-mountain forest, ridge walking and cold elevation define what you want — not rice terraces or village homestay progression. Ban Luoc is a three-day terrace traverse; Chieu Lau Thi is a separate mountain product.
It stays in Hoang Su Phi with our driver. Carry only a daypack to the lodge.
Usable phone signal and internet access are available at Chieu Lau Thi 2402m Lodge — do not treat this as hotel Wi-Fi speed or as a substitute for mobile coverage on the trail or summit.
Overnight accommodation is at Chieu Lau Thi 2402m Lodge on the approach route near the summit. The property offers private rooms and dorm-style accommodation; your room type is confirmed when the departure is booked. Electricity for charging, bathroom facilities, usable phone signal and internet at the lodge, and meals are part of the programme — not a hotel or resort.
Tell us your room preference when you enquire. Room type is confirmed case-by-case at booking — private room or dorm-style accommodation depending on the departure. Do not assume a specific room type or ensuite unless confirmed for your dates.
Yes — tell us at enquiry if you want private pacing, photography pauses, or if one member of the group walks more slowly than another.

No — June through September departures are not offered on this programme.
Light rain may still allow walking at a slower pace on the forest path. Stone steps can stay slippery for one to two days after heavy rain. If lightning risk is present on the massif, the guide may shorten the mountain section or cancel the departure — field decision on the day, not a weather guarantee.
