That’s a great set of pics to accompany all your useful information on the trip. The monorail itself sounds fascinating, and you almost had me convinced that my fear of heights would mean nothing compared with those great views. But the “incident” made me take a cold hard look at my levels of bravery, and find them a bit lacking. Still a fantastic trip though, and one I’d take a deep breath and try. Perhaps whimpering a little under my breath…

Ok that incident of cable cab sopping hundred of meters in air would freak me out! But I would totally be to go for it atleast once. I honestly never heard about Fansipan before and the views are incredible from the top. The temples too look lovely. Thanks for sharing.

The cable car incident is very scary. I would have freaked out. But your photos are amazing. I would love the views but would need to psyche myself up to go in one of those pods.

We didn’t have chance to do Fansipan when we were up in SaPa last time but we are planning to return to that region to do some of the things we didn’t get to do the first time. Initially I would have wanted to hike it but with you mentioning having to have a guide and the price, which is really annoying as we are experienced climbers, maybe we would just do the cable car!

I went to Vietnam years ago but didn’t make it to Sapa. I would love to go and that cable car looks amazing but your post leaves me with mixed feelings. I’m not sure it’s entirely safe and I sure don’t want to get stuck up there!

I’m glad to hear you already made it to Fansipan Mountain, Kevin. Seems like you chose the perfect time to do so too. I visited during the rainy season and there were a lot of clouds and mist in the way. The views look much better from your pictures!

I totally see my self taking the cable car to reach the highest point as I am not very keen on trekking. Was the temperature too hot when you guys visited?

I went to Vietnam years ago but didn’t make it to Sapa unfortunately. I doubt that the cable car was in operation then. I have to say your post left me with mixed feelings about the cable car though. The distances seem pretty big between pylons!

Oh wow, the views from and of Fansipan are absolutely incredible! I can’t believe the power issue you had on the cable car. That sounds terrifying!

Vietnam has been on my list for a while now and this just solidifies it! It looks like an absolutely amazing country and the views from this spot are incredible.
