VNC07: Bach Ma National Park Discovery(2D1N)

From $148/Pax

Overview

Bach Ma National Park (BMNP) is situated in the narrow central region of Vietnam, just north of the Hai Van Pass where the Annamite Mountain Range meets the South China Sea. In 1991 Bach Ma was officially classified as a national park with 22,031 ha at its core and a buffer zone of 21,300 ha. Forming a green corridor from the Annamite Mountains to Vietnam’s coastal plain, Bach Ma National Park is the only surviving area of forest extending from the South China Sea to the Laos border. Following the discovery of Bach Ma in 1932 a road was built to the summit and the area just below was developed into a hill station. By the end of the 1930s there were 139 villas, a hotel and a general store and the area was a popular weekend getaway for members of the French colonial administration.

  • Departing from Hue we drive 60kms to Bach Ma National Park. Bach Ma summit offers a range of unique trails for those interested in wildlife and history or who simply wish to enjoy the distinctive natural beauty of the park. Each trail can be walked in under a day and do not require any special hiking equipment. A five-hour trek this afternoon through sub-tropical forest will take us to the Ngu Ho and Do Quyen Waterfalls. The Ngu Ho or Five-lakes Cascade is a series of small waterfalls which crash down into pristine pools of clear water secluded under a canopy of foliage. O/N at Bach Ma.


  • Following breakfast we commence our trek to the summit. This is the most popular trail at Bach Ma. After one hour walking uphill we reach the peak, 1450m above the sea level. From here we can admire the spectacular views north to Hue and south to Lang Co beach and several lagoons. From the summit we make our way through sub-tropical evergreen forest. The trail, which passes the ruins of several French era villas, is renowned for observing birds. Our trek ends at the Orchid Collection House near the guesthouse. After lunch we return to Hue.

    HAVE A GREAT TRIP!
