Fansipan Mountain was introduced as Vietnam’s highest mountain. It is called the “Roof of Indochina”.
“With an impressive elevation of 3,143 meters, it is, after all, an extremely steep mountain that’s only recommended for those who are in tip-top shape.”
It takes at least three days to climb to the peak of the mountain and get back down to the base.
Other spots which made the list are Mount Rinjani (Indonesia), Cameron Highlands (Malaysia), Banaue Rice Terraces (the Philippines), Mount Bromo (Indonesia), Chiang Mai hill tribe hikes (Thailand), Mount Kinabalu (Malaysia), Kalaw to Inle Lake (Myanmar), and Tiger’s Nest Monastery Trail (Bhutan)./.
