Ta Xua cloud hunting season

01/01/2018

Ta Xua is a highland commune in Bac Yen district, Son La province, which is made up of three mountain peaks that form an extremely majestic wonder. The highest peak is where the Vietnamese flagpole is erected at an altitude of 2,850m. This place is covered with clouds all year round, creating a beautiful scene like a fairyland.

The best time to hunt clouds in Ta Xua is in winter, from December to March every year. Around 10am - 11am during the day.

However, to hunt clouds, you also have to pay attention to the weather, which must have all the elements: drizzle, low temperature at night and high during the day, and sunny days will have beautiful clouds.

Coming to Ta Xua at this time, your probability of encountering cloud valleys will be higher. It is called "Cloud Hunting" because the clouds only appear for a certain period of time, about a few minutes, then turn into a thick fog covering the space. At this time, you should move to a higher point to get out of this blind area.

At dawn, the "sea" of clouds gradually appeared clearly with spectacular rolling "waves".

Whether it's sunrise or sunset, Ta Xua range has a mysterious, hazy beauty, making us feel like we are lost in another world, not this earthly world.

The third peak is in the middle, it looks like the line that forms the spine of a prehistoric dinosaur. There are two routes for you to conquer that “spine”, one is the road from Ta Xua village up and the second road starts from Bac Yen.

No words can describe the beauty of nature here.

Below those valleys are thousands of miles of terraced fields, hidden among the sea of ​​clouds.

This place attracts like-minded souls, people who share the same passion for conquering mountains.

The ideal cloud viewing spot is number 03 on the map. You go from the intersection of Ta Xua commune center, in the direction of Hang Dong, drive about 3 km, there is a large rock on the side of the road. This rock is the spot to watch and take pictures of the sea of ​​clouds.
