This trek features diverse terrain and is not too treacherous, ranking among the top 10 highest mountains in Vietnam. Lao Than is often considered a “beginner’s peak” for those new to mountain climbing.
Umove Adventure recommends bringing a backpack around 10L and carrying no more than 2kg of essentials such as a wallet, phone, and drinking water. Your personal belongings, including clothes for changing at the shelter, daily drinking water, and food for meals on the mountain, will be carried by porters.

We will sleep in a wooden shelter on the mountain on the second night. You will be provided with an air mattress or insulated mat, and a blanket or sleeping bag for sleeping.

 6. Food & Water:

Dinners on the mountain will be hot meals prepared by the porter team. Breakfast will consist of fried rice, instant noodles, or crepes. Lunch is usually pre-prepared cold food.
Drinking water on the mountain will be sourced from streams, boiled to kill bacteria by the porter team. Participants should bring a water bottle to collect water for daily use.
At the overnight shelter, there will be hot tea and coffee available before and after each meal.
