The Challenge

Discover the unique cultural diversity and magnificent rugged scenery of northern Vietnam on this challenge with Dentaid. Scale the heights of Vietnam’s tallest peak and encounter colourful hill tribes on your charity trek before returning to Hanoi, the leafy capital with its tree-lined boulevards and colonial villas, where you have the volunteer opportunity to spend three days improving the lives of the people in a small town.

Vietnam, and in particular the rugged north, is an area of stunning natural beauty. The terraced hill sides and lush valleys surrounding the small town of Sapa are home to a multitude of colourful ethnic peoples. Sapa itself is a mere 9km from Mount Fansipan, Vietnam’s tallest peak, where you will spend your days trekking 3,143m to the summit as well as visiting vibrant markets and village communities.
