Hard journey to conquer the Vietnam East point of the young couple Minh and Giang

After 1.5 hours through the high sand dunes of the mountains, Minh and Giang also have to continue trekking for about 3 hours through many new terrains to Mui Khi, the easternmost point of Vietnam.

Hard journey to conquer the East point of the young couple.

Previously, Dai Lanh Cape (Phu Yen) is considered the easternmost point of our country, even where there is also a large landmark "The place to receive the first sunrise on the land of Vietnam." However, when Mui Kha (Khanh Hoa) was discovered, it was based on coordinates to recognize that this is exactly the easternmost point of the country. According to survey data, Mui doubled for dawn earlier in Dai Dai 4 seconds. In this position, a stainless steel tip was attached on 4/8/2012 to mark the pole. Besides, the journey to Mui Nghi is also difficult, harder than many times Dai Mui Cape. However, this is a place that young people love to travel dusty want to conquer.

Mui Dieu is located in Van Phong Bay, Van Thanh Commune, Van Ninh District, Khanh Hoa Province, about 80 km from Nha Trang City to the North, and Tuy Hoa City Yen) 35 km south.

On March 22 and 23, the couple Thanh Minh (29) and Thu Giang (26) conquered Mui Mi a smooth way. Here are the experiences from Minh and Giang's trip:

The ideal time

Around the beginning of the year, from January to May is most suitable to hit the road because the weather is not too hot, nor rain, help you lose strength. The rest of the dry season (June to August), the temperature can rise to 35-39 degrees Celsius, making the road more arduous more harsh. Meanwhile, from September to December is the rainy season, not the ideal time.

Furniture should be prepared

You need to determine that this is a "hard" trip, so the furniture is as compact as possible. Here are the most needed:- Tents, flashlights, lighters (if camping overnight to pick up the day after dawn).- Drinking water during trekking. Each person needs about 2 liters (daytime) or 3 liters (overnight).- Battery backup (if camping overnight).- Sports shoes, sun protection clothing, hats, masks, sunglasses, gloves (cool type).- Personal hygiene: face towel, toothbrush, toothpaste, shower gel, shampoo.- Medications and bandages, medical patches ...- Swimwear.- Dry food (sausage, bread ...).

Raincoats and waterproof bags for the backpack or camera in case of rain.

How to move there

From Nha Trang or Tuy Hoa, you need to rent a motorbike to Dam Mon, the daily rent is about 100,000 VND / car, self-financing (Refer: Tuan in Nha Trang, phone number 0903354470, contact a few days. before the trip). After coming to Dam Mon, you can choose to go by land or rent a boat directly to the Double Point. Boat travel is expensive (about 1.5 - 2 million per trip), and also depends much on the natural conditions. Therefore, the majority of people choose the road to be more active and can experience the journey to conquer the easternmost true.

Also, it is best to have your guide instead of trekking through the navigation system. The evidence is that many groups have traveled by themselves, and after 2-3 days "struggled" could not find their destination, had to call the rescue "guide". Meanwhile, the remaining option saves you time and effort.

The most famous guide to Mui Nghi is Hai Chau (often called Uncle Hai, telephone number 01662037427). He has been doing this job for more than 5 years, currently not directly lead the way but take on the role of "switchboard", assigned to 3 people working home. The price of one round trip is from 400,000 VND to 1 million VND, depending on the number of guests (group of 2 people is 400,000 VND, group of 30 people is only 1 million VND). The guides of Uncle Hai's house are very enthusiastic and friendly. They also help bring less weight or tents.

To go from Dam Mon to Uncle Hai's house, you have to cross the immense stretch of white sand, with dunes as high as mountains. This is followed by 8 km of harsh trekking from Uncle Hai to Mui Mi, which includes many challenges on different terrains, ranging from forest cliffs, climbing to rapids, jostling through cliffs.

Get on the road to the East point

This is a trip suggestion for those who come from Nha Trang in the morning and camp overnight to welcome Mui Ne.

After breakfast, depart at 6.30. Dam Mon is not too far from Nha Trang (about 80 km) so it is possible to drive freely. On the way from Van Gia town to Dam Mon, you see the right hand side will see some strip of land running along the beautiful sea, a great place to take unique photos.

When you come to Dam Mon, do not forget to take a photo with the milestone "Dam Mon 0 km". At this point is the harbor, you can rest and drink coconut milk is very sweet at only 15,000 VND / fruit. Then turn back about 30 meters, you will see on the right is a wide highway wide, the two sides are filled with sandy eyes, hills and hills, making it seem as if Texas.

After this paragraph, you will begin to really "taste" difficult. Opposite to the highway as beautiful as dreaming is the harsh road leading to Uncle Hai. Going through steep slopes like the mountains becomes more difficult than ever when the sand is as thick as a desert, so the car sits so badly that it does not stand up and stand on its own. Under the sun, you will be discouraged in the process of continuous screws to push the car to the pressure of two hands, sand splashing straight up the person pushed back, feet buried deep into the hot sandy side space The front is still immense white.

After about 1.5 hours "struggling" escape from the sand hill, the feeling is at this moment is thought to be exhausted. You will continue to run the motor carefully on the dry road cracking, revealing the deep and wide tens of dozens. But when the beautiful sea scene is gradually appearing before the eyes, all fatigue will disappear, instead of excitement, extremely excited.

Come to our house at noon, you send the car here, eat rice and rest for a while, prepare the spirit before the start of trekking at 3 pm. Send back most of your belongings, carry only the things you need most, and wear them on your shoulders, not your hands.

The distance of 8 km from Uncle Hai's house to the easternmost point includes many different terrains. In the first paragraph, you may have to breathe when you lean over the steep cliffs, under the heat of fire. Depending on the health condition, after 2-3 hours of forest, crossing the mountain, you will reach the windswept. Many people choose this place to stop camping (due to the flat ground, always blowing cool wind), and the next morning to get up early to go to Mui Doi.

 

However, Minh and Giang choose to go straight to Cape Double not sleep on the wind, to reduce the time of return journey the next day. The distance from the windswept to Mui Noi is only a few hundred meters, but you will take about 45 minutes - 1 hour jump rapids through the large rocks lying close to each other and overlapping, sometimes with the cliffs are quite dangerous.

The final challenge before touching the tip of stainless steel is to climb the rope to climb the largest rock, 7 meters high. This is a difficult thing with many girls, but the guide always carry the protective belt and will help you climb more easily.

After the effort to forget tired, the reward for you is the feeling of extreme happiness, excitement when reaching the easternmost point of the country - where the first sunrise in the land of Vietnam, where any people want to conquer.

Evening at Mui Nghi, after helping to set up the tent, the guide will ignite the fire, grilled spicy marinated dishes prepared by her uncle Uncle Hai. Sipping grilled ribs delicious, just watching the stars glittering, listening to the waves is really an unforgettable experience.

The next morning, you wake up early (about 5:15) to welcome the dawn to 6h. It should be noted that the sun rises very quickly, from the beginning to rise until it passes the horizon just over a minute, so be prepared for the camera before 6h if you do not want to miss the most valuable moment. of the journey.

Once you have finished your photo shoot, you should clear the camp and return as soon as possible, avoiding the loss of heat due to the hot weather. One factor that can help you get frustrated is usually faster and less tired. For good health, the couple took 3 hours trekking from Uncle Hai's house to Mui Mi with 3 flashbacks, while the return trip took only 2.5 hours.

Come to the house for two more than 9h, you will be welcomed by a glass of cool lemon juice, delicious by her Hai mixing. Then, the attractive suggestion for you is to go to the beach after Uncle Hai bath delighted, immersed in the clear blue water, watching the beautiful scene with heartbreaking wild, quiet that rare place get .

After lunch, you rest for a while and then back to Dam Mon. At this point, sand dunes will be a more pleasant challenge than walking because most of the downhill, the car does not sink, push the car out of power, travel time reduced to half.
