Dubbed the roof of Moc Chau, Pha Luong Mountain’s peak floats on top of the mountain and is almost separated from the jungle mountains. Pha Luong peak is located between the Vietnam-Laos border. At an altitude of nearly 2,000 metres, the cliffs rise up with many tectonic crevices that create a majestic and fascinating scene. This place is also famous for its particularly complicated security situation, which is a key point for drug smuggling and transportation, so you can only climb to the top if you have been approved by the Pha Luong Border Station at the foot of the mountain. Although there are still many difficulties, this has become a very attractive trekking spot when traveling to Moc Chau.
