After a weary working day in the site, I go back my room in a pathetic situation. Nothing to say more, I lie down on my bed just like a dead body, then come the big headache with other symptoms. Seem like my health and stamina condition is deteriorating gradually, compared with the lastest hiking in the past!
On the occasion of resting before going to take the bath, I enlist time to write some words about the great hiking to Chua Chan mountain with my new friends.
Something about Chua Chan mountain trail!
Yay! At an altitude of nearly 900 meters, Chua Chan mountain hiking trail is always the most choice of youngster in the Southern Viet Nam. This trail takes 2.5 hours to 3 hours to complete the whole trip with some breaks on the way.
Chua Chan mountain belongs to Dong Nai province, is located about 90 kilometers from Ho Chi Minh city. The best transportation to get there is to use motorbike or car, and it has the great weather all the year so it is absolutely appropriate to have the trip during a year.
Well, now is my hiking time in Chua Chan!
There are 2 way to get to the top of Chua Chan mountain: the paved staircase and the unknow path. I and my friends chose to reach it by the second way.
As our calculation and our plan, we wanted to spend the most of time relaxing at the peak of the mountain, therefore, we decided to start our trip at 5 a.m when the sun was not up yet. As the result, we drove the motorbike from Ho Chi Minh city and rented the room for resting in the afternoon of previous day.
The crucial stuff that can not be lack of in any hiking trip is about water. That is why each of us brang at least 2 litre for the trip. Beside, snack, bread and some fresh fruit were also prepared and filled up in our bag. There were other stuffs that we could not miss it out such as sunglasses, hat, camera, insect repellent came up with us too.
Well, we started the hiking from the top of view in the Buu Quang pagoda after stepping the staircase from the foot of mountain in 30 minutes and having breakfast together in the back yard of pagoda.
We have seen the path without any mark and be filled with grasses. Went through a fabulous cashew garden, a sugar cane field, its fences stopped us to invade lol. We found some logs of wood to cut the grass and make the road for all of us. Cause a half of our team are energetic young girl and man, we did not feel tired a lot because of our smiling and joking during the trail.
There have been some rough path that we were very confused to choose which way we should move on. By our sharpe inferences, we had chose the right way to continue our trek. The higher, the more interesting we felt.
After 2 hours of hiking, we completely reached to the peak of Chua Chan moutain. And, yeah, it is an amazing 360 degree views of the sky, green color of forest, the yellow fields with small towns looked far away.
We ended up to rest in the grass field and in the large rock. The most impressive feeling I got there is exactly the fresh air, the sense of freedom and the joy in our team.
We took the same route back down the summit of mountain after resting and enjoying the moment there. Luckily, there was no sunlight anymore cause some black clouds came up with the grey scenery. We would rather love to have the bath under rainy water than shelter from the rain.
It took less time to go back the foot of the mountain than to climb up, tho. In a pinch, we went to the parking lot and drove fast to go back Ho Chi Minh city before the nightfall.
Chua Chan mountain hiking trail is not a tough one for the hiker or climber. This experience is a right choice to unwind in the short holiday or in the weekend. It never takes a lot of your time!
Thank for dropping by my blog to enjoy this trip with me! Have a good night, all.
