Climbing Through Clouds in Tam Dao National Park, Vietnam
As you sip warm green tea with local farmers, they will tell you with certainty, “The sweetest fruits are those with seeds." The sentiment sings through the mountain paths of Tam Dao National Park, luring you to climb thousands of stairs worn by the winds of centuries to claim a view of the splatter-painted townships below. Precipitous paths through bamboo forests and flirting butterflies guide you to vistas where clouds swarm your feet and crisp, clarifying air fills your lungs. Trails are lined with renowned pagodas, abandoned French ruins, and carpets of biodiversity for your exploring pleasure. Even the village below offers a preserved world, where the only “stars” are those you wish upon, and offering rice wine to tourists is the primary means of entertainment. Though not an escape for the faint of ankles, Tam Dao’s rare medley of secluded treasures promises an adventure of both thought and foot.
