Description

The Arch is an amazing natural phenomenon with a few great climbs. Due to the approach better take a full day.

Access issues inherited from Hữu Lũng

Most of the cliffs are located in private orchards. Be careful of crops, especially custard apple trees. Most landlords might ask for access fees, usually VND 20,000-25,000

Approach

45min hike uphill on loose clay underground. Caution if wet, it will be extremely slippery. Start hiking at the base of two ziplines near the road. Hike uphill and keep right as much as possible. You'll pass a hut on the way to the back entrance of the Arch. Be careful of your surroundings as you're hiking trough private orchards.

Ethic inherited from Hữu Lũng

All local access with orchards' owners, Commune, District and Province authorities arranged by VietClimb. Contact them to inquire about the latest updates and get a briefing.
