Hang Te Cho Waterfall in Mu Cang Chai
Hang Te Cho Waterfall in Mu Cang Chai, is really nature at its best; it is a more than 100-meter fall that lies deep in the natural reserve area of Tà Xùa. The currents of the fall are so strong that they create misty clouds that drape over the lush greenery, making the whole ambiance truly define unspoiled beauty. This is the view of something only remotely found in the dense northern highlands of Vietnam: a hidden gem.
Reaching the Hang Te Cho Waterfall is an adventure of its own. The trails wind through dense forests, across streams, and through not-so-passable areas over some fairly steep, very rough terrain. The rocky journey will reward you with dramatic views of the neighboring mountains and valleys, setting an expectancy atmosphere where, with each step, the roaring sound of the waterfall becomes even louder. It is a trek only for the strong-willed, with great payoffs of natural beauty.
Even though Hang Te Cho Waterfall in Mu Cang Chai is attractive, there is a firm and deep cultural attachment that people associate with it, localized by the Hmong and Thai communities. The jewel of the waterfall is enrobed with the local stories and beliefs, representing the close relationship of the local people with respect to this land. A visit to this waterfall does not mainly imply vibrantoscopy but also getting in touch with a living cultural heritage.

At Hang Te Cho waterfall in Mu Cang Chai, one will actually understand why this is not for the faint of heart; the terrain is steep and rugged, which might prove demanding. To really enjoy the hike, you need to be physically fit. I would recommend starting some sort of regime a good month prior. Do some cardio exercises such as hiking, running, or cycling to build stamina. Add some strength training, particularly in the lower body and core. This will help you easily negotiate steep climbs. Remember to include some flexibility exercises like yoga or stretching, apart from walking on the trails, into your routine to help prevent injuries.
Packing smart will ensure a successful trek. At the very top, investing in good pairs of trekking boots to cherish and protect against what else the long trail offers is important. In addition, because mountain weather is very moody, carry along with you good rain gear a lightweight jacket in addition to pants. Take a hydration pack or water bottle to keep well-hoofed throughout the journey. Think layers: Try to wear a moisture-moistened base layer with insulating mid-layers and a windproof jacket. Don’t forget the essentials, like a hat, sunscreen, and some bug juice. A small, light backpack will help you haul all that gear without too much drag. And remember, pack light: The less you carry, the more easygoing and enjoyable your trek will be.

Finally, go out with at least a simple first aid set containing a few plasters, antiseptic wipes, and any personal medications that might possibly be needed for any unexpected eventualities. It’s just common sense to let someone know your plans and roughly when you expect to be back.
