Escape the noisy space of the city on weekends and immerse yourself in the fresh nature of mountains and lakes, Ham Lon mountain, about 40km from Hanoi, becomes an attractive destination for those who want to experience nature in the city.
Ham Lon Mountain in Doc Ton Range, Soc Son, Hanoi is one of the “roofs” of the city. For many mountain climbing enthusiasts, Ham Lon Peak (462m high) is a fairly simple destination to conquer on the weekend. 
With diverse terrain, pristine pine forests on both sides, this is also a place for those who love to challenge themselves with cycling. 
At the foot of the mountain is the charming Nui Bau Lake with its pristine blue water. Visitors can visit, stop and camp by the lake or in a fairly flat area near the top of the mountain. For many young people, Ham Lon has become a weekend gathering place for a scenic picnic, overnight camping and watching the sunrise on one of the highest mountains in Hanoi.
“The roof of the capital”, Ham Lon mountain is known for its rugged and challenging trekking routes, a paradise for backpackers. Besides, this place is also an ideal destination for camping and weekend picnics with charming natural scenery and cool, fresh air.
At each time of the year, Ham Lon Mountain will put on a very unique beauty. Therefore, visitors can visit this place at any time they like. However, you should avoid rainy days because the road is very slippery and difficult to travel. In particular, the road up the mountain also has many bumpy and rough sections, quite dangerous if the driver is not steady.
Therefore, to ensure safety, you should go on clear days, spring, summer or autumn are all fine. On the other hand, clear weather will also be more favorable for mountain climbing, camping and taking check-in photos.
