Samu - U Bo Peak (also known as Samu Peak) is one of the three peaks in the Devil's Triangle area (as the locals call it), belonging to the Ta Xua special-use forest. The peak is 2756m high and is located on the border of Yen Bai and Son La provinces. Around March and April every year, this place is the kingdom of exotic flowers and herbs in the middle of the primeval forest full of mystery and magic, making many people wish to see this beautiful landscape with their own eyes. 

There are many trekking routes to conquer Sa Mu peak, but the easiest route with very beautiful scenery is the route starting from Xim Vang of Bac Yen, Son La, going to Samu peak, then going down the mountain by another way to return to Xim Vang. This route is not time-sensitive, so trekkers will have plenty of time to admire the extremely mysterious beauty of nature here.

4. Notes on the trekking route

● This is a moderately difficult trekking route (6/10), comparable to Lao Than or Lung Cung. However, we will trek through dense forests with several short but steep sections, so it is recommended that you prepare physically before the trip (refer to the Physical Preparation Suggestions section). 

● Umove Adventure advises carrying a 10L backpack with no more than 2kg of essential items for the hike, such as a wallet, phone, and water. Your personal belongings, such as clothes for changing at the camp, daily drinking water, and food for meals on the mountain, will be carried by the porter.

5. Sleeping on the mountain

● The overnight shed on the mountain provides mattresses, sleeping bags, or blankets. The camp also has bathrooms and toilets. Hot water is not available in the showers, but if needed, you can purchase hot water directly from the porter (who boils water at the camp).

6. Food & drinks

● Dinners on the mountain consist of hot meals prepared by the porter team (such as hot pot or grilled dishes). Breakfast is typically fried rice, instant noodles, or crepes. Lunch is usually cold food prepared in advance.

● Drinking water on the mountain is boiled from stream water by the porter team for disinfection. Participants should bring a water bottle to refill for daily use. At the overnight camp, hot tea and coffee will be available before and after each meal.

7. Protecting the environment together

● Umove Adventure supports and practices Leave No Trace principles in each program and outdoor activities itself. We also encourage our customers and partners to apply to Leave No Trace principles when traveling in the outdoor environment. See details about the Leave No Trace tại đây
