What travellers say

Got ticket at better price from Pelago. I would recommend to buy tkt till summit as the final climb thru stairs is steep. Better to buy full package, mono rail from Sun plaza, then Cable car to Fansipan and finally funnicular to the summit. I think it's a must visit when in Sapa.

Very easy to use and fuss free. I would suggest those who purchase to keep a soft copy/screenshot of the QR code because if there's no internet, cannot open Pelago app. Pelago will also send the softcopy via WhatsApp so just save it from there to your gallery or phone for easy reference. Other than that, no issues with the QR.

Seamless & convenient as only the QR code (on Pelago issued voucher) needs to be scanned in at point of entry at building - which is way better than having to quene for the tickets separately. Noted also it was cheaper as compared to buying the tickets at retail price (1200 BHT) at the building itself, great promo with drink packaged in, which came handy as bags more than 25 cm had to be stored in lockers at entrance due to observatory restrictions.
