Hang Kia - Pa Co is a beautiful and easy-to-go cloud hunting destination in Hoa Binh but few people know about it. Hang Kia – Pa Co Nature Reserve covers an area of 7,091 hectares, of which the strictly protected area covers 2,680 hectares and the ecological restoration area covers 4,411 hectares. In addition, the buffer zone covers an area of 8,010 hectares. The reserve covers all 6 communes in Mai Chau district: Hang Kia, Pa Co, Tan Son, Cun Pheo, Bao La and Pieng Ve.

This place possesses beautiful scenery and unique cultural features that are not inferior to Sa Pa, Ta Xua... but are not known by many people. Photo: NVCC Pham Tu, 30 years old, a photographer in Hanoi, had a memorable 2-day-1-night trip to Hang Kia when he saw the picturesque "sea of clouds", not inferior to any famous cloud hunting spots such as Sa Pa, Ta Xua... in the North.

Although compared to other cloud hunting locations, Hang Kia is less popular, it is still one of the interesting and worth-experiencing cloud hunting spots,” said Mr. Tu. Photo: NVCC According to Mr. Tu, what impressed him most at Hang Kia Pa Co was the peace. Pa Co in particular and Hoa Binh in general still retain their natural features in both landscape and culture. If you are looking for a destination with beautiful scenery, peace, and a short road to relax on the weekend, this is a place worth considering.

If the temperature is below 20 degrees Celsius, the wind is below 8km/h, the weather is sunny, the clouds will be most beautiful. The sea of clouds usually appears around 6am - 11am. Photo: NVCC If you want to watch the sunrise, you have to wake up at 5am to get there. When the sun rises, the light shines down on the “sea of clouds” creating a soft pink-orange color that is as beautiful as a painting. When the sun rises, the clouds will turn white-blue, floating over the undulating mountains.

Although it is quite an interesting destination, Hang Kia - Pa Co has not yet developed tourism, so the number of visitors will not be too crowded, and the service has not been industrialized. Photo: NVCC Regarding the road to Pa Co, Mr. Tu affirmed: “The road to Pa Co from Hanoi is relatively easy to travel, the route is not too long, it can be considered one of the easiest roads in the northern mountainous provinces. If traveling by motorbike, you should use a manual transmission for convenience in moving, going downhill...”. Photo: NVCC Having seen the “sea of clouds” in other places before, Mr. Tu affirmed that each place has its own beauty, which is difficult to compare. However, he still wants to return to Pa Co many times to enjoy the peace and tranquility that this place brings. Photo: NVCC
