The best time to explore Phja Oắc is usually from September to April of the following year. If you want to hunt for snow, visitors should go around December to January when the temperature drops the lowest.

Due to the winding mountain roads and many steep sections, traveling needs to be done carefully, especially if riding a motorcycle. It is advisable to prepare warm clothes, sports shoes, personal medication, and check the weather before the trip.

Additionally, combining a visit to Phja Oắc with other famous locations such as Ban Gioc Waterfall, Nguom Ngao Cave, or Thang Hen Lake will make the journey to explore Cao Bang more complete.
