Ngoc Linh Climbing-the sacred mountain of the northern Highlands region.

I came to Mount Ngoc Linh on a last tour of May, when it rained, with new companion friends. This jewel is one of the peaks that I desire to be conquered because of the rare information and there is a slight mystery of it… And the trip is much more memorable with a 5-hours walk.

About the Jade Ghost peaks:

⁃ altitude: Ngoc Linh Mountain is 2605m (according to the mold, while GPS is measured only about 2597), the Tu mo, Kontum, is located on the boundary between the two provinces of Kontum & Quang Nam. ⁃ Beautiful: The road to the Jade commune is quite beautiful with the thousands of terraces, the steep pass no other northwest, the trek line is a dense forest of moss-maple and vines alternating with ancient trees. Go Jade Linh Road to the mountain is not too beautiful, but bring the price of ghosts. -Are you going to be jade?  The rock climbing point of Ngoc Linh is located in Ngoc Linh commune and is about 121km from the center of Kon Tum, which you have to go by many buses and new motorcycles. The way to trekking to the top of the jade spirit is not difficult, not too steep, but easy, it is almost five hours back, and less than 5km residential area. In Ngoc Linh is a special forest, and it is also famous for the world's finest ginseng, so the forest needs the licence of the Department of Dard, plus to sign a lot of commitments: no forest fires. , litter…, this is the main cause not too many groups can conquer the Jade Ghost and the path is quite untouched.

The conquest of Ngoc Linh 2605m

After about 1 month of authorization and preparation, the group is composed of two top, from Saigon to bus and Nha Trang running motorcycles, members of the group meet in Kon Tum City at the light sheet.

[/caption] The time to move from TP Kon Tum to Ngoc Linh commune is more than four hours, the craft group purchased the rice box and lunch. In Ngoc Linh commune, group sent back motorcycles, meet porter, buy rice, add little fixtures and start Trekking.  Porter in Mount Ngoc Linh is the people of Sichuan, the Jade mountain is not often a trekking, so the porter here is also too professional, they are in charge of a guide… The food preparation… is not as good as the mountains or other trekking paths that you have the opportunity to experience, so if anyone is intended to go to Jade Spirit should be noted to prepare this section more thoroughly. 3h afternoon, trekking really starts with the trail passing through the first slopes and the hill filled with terraces.

A camping point in the Jade air is not wide, even very cramped and not flat, dense by long no man… night between the cold and humid forest… If any of these paragraphs intend to trekking the Jade Ghost should choose to bring up & Hammock which will be more convenient than tents. From 7 a.m. on Monday, after breakfast, the group left furniture, carrying little cakes left, drinking water and moving toward the top of Ngoc Linh Mountain. If the first day is steeped in the red earth, the terraces… The second day is the higher the slopes, along the streams… and through many green arrays of forests. The cliffs must be clinging to Leo, the way today makes me remember the mountains out of the northwest… also full of fog, streams.. And the bamboo root dust at a height of over 2000m.

The way down is quite simple nor much difficult, we reach the bar of the first house. But perhaps because of the subjective, the blame and the lack of cohesion of the crew members, when there were those who were only first to meet… the top were dropped together, including themselves, accompanied by a few weak and less experienced members. Every top of the people turns over and down the mountain, it rains and starts darker… The hills in the jade, the terraces that are filled with mud and water, at the time, do I remember most, the group stray through do not know how many hills , the streams… When the sheets are fine, when the lights are in the remote village start. While hiking is probably a normal story, when I have a pretty good time in the trekking road, Phan dung, rock climbing with Chan… but when the members, the close children start down the , the wet man because of the rain, the sun is increasingly cold feeling really nervous. The footsteps were heavy when they were added to Balo, the lamented, and even when the child fell down to the area near 5m… the feeling of self was really tired. And then the group also returned to the next five hours, with the help of a number of your native porter. A non–unforgettable, a long-term experience cord for the subjective that we remind you later… and it's important to all be safe, even if you pour a little tears, pour the blood over the flock in the jade spirit. On Tuesday, the breakfast group and a car ride back to Kon Tum, dinner and back to Saigon, Nha Trang, started his car to Hue finished three days full of experience.

Few notes for those who intend to trekking the Jade Mountain:

  • It is advisable to prepare suitable belongings for their health, and myself is quite subjective when carrying a very little backup food on this voyage, although it is first to decide and you are always set in priority when preparing each trip Go…
  • Don't believe anyone by yourself.
  • Always charge the phone battery, for some reason the phone battery does not record the Tracklog, use the map so that you lose the directions to the stray as far as possible.
  • and the secondary n need to accumulate for the climbing activities, the trekking.
