Bach Ma National Park Trekking
(Full Day Trekking Trip to Bach Ma National Park)
(Route can also be run in reverse)
Bach Ma National Park covers an area of 22,031 ha. With steep mountains and dense tropical and sub-tropical forests, this area is home to a wide variety of animals and plants from both the northern and southern areas of the country, making Bach Ma one of the recognized centers of bio-diversity in Indochina.
Bach Ma summit offers a range of unique trails for those interested in wildlife and history for 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.
Pick up at your hotel in Hoi An and transfer to Bach Ma National Park (1,5 hour drive)
Stop at the bottom of the Park to visit the visitor center for a brief rest before heading up the mountain.
We walk uphill to the summit of 1450m above sea level, enjoy the spectacular views (the best spot for photo). This is the most popular trail at Bach Ma. After one hour walking uphill we reach the peak. 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.
Another 3-hour trek through the sub-tropical forest, taking us to the Ngu Ho and Rhododendron fall. 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. You will have a chance to enjoy swimming in small mountain lakes. Picnic lunch at a site.
Walk out to the main road where our vehicle meets us to transfer back to hotel.
