About 40 km from Hanoi city on the way of North Thang Long highway- Noi Bay, the transportation is easy, just about one hour of driving. You can conquer it in a day or stay longer to contemplate the sunset and dawn on the top of the mountain.

Nui Bau Lake

Tourists can climb Ham Lon Mountain or visit Nui Bau lake before climbing. The lake is next to the mountain’s foot, among green pine trees. The pristine beauty here contributes to the lake’s attraction.

There are two ways to climb to the top. First is a flat trail, easy, with fewer bushes. It takes about two and a half hours. The second is a path along a stream with many challenges, so it is suitable for those who like adventure and discovery. It takes about four hours; tourists will have to overcome small streams and bushes. 

Camping to wait sunset

Near the top is a flat area. After conquering the height of 462 meters, tourists can camp here, relax and prepare to go down and wait for dawn or sunset.
