Cloud hunting season in Sa Pa starts from October to April next year. Experiencing the cloud season in the Northwest mountains, you will have many interesting activities among the floating sea of clouds. At this time, white clouds cover a mountainside, making the already beautiful scenery of Sa Pa even more tender like a muse. The first rule for successful cloud hunting is to consider the weather. When it is about 3-22 degrees Celsius, clouds often appear. Too low a temperature often appears ice and snow. If the temperature is high, it will usually be cloudy. Currently, Sa Pa has a temperature of about 14-17 degrees Celsius, which is very suitable for cloud hunting. A small note is that on windy days, there will be no clouds.

Sea of clouds at sunset
The secret to capturing the best moments of the Sapa cloud season, you should get up early in the morning to avoid the crowd. In the morning, the whole town seems to be engulfed in a sea of floating clouds. In addition, this time is also the time when the dew has not dissipated, the gentle sunlight makes the working process easier. In addition, tourists can also take photos when the sunset falls on the mountainside, experience the sea of clouds in a completely different beauty. At that time, the last sunlight of the sun will create a beautiful rose-red color. Many people liken the image of the sea of clouds at that time as beautiful as the "sea of fire".
