BACH MA
DAY TRIP
Located
midway between Hue and Da Nang/ Hoi An, Bach Ma National Park covers an area of
22,000 ha, and is home to a wide variety of animals and plants. This trip is
for nature lovers.
You leave
Hue or Hoi An at 8 am and drive on a bumpy and sinuous road to reach the summit
of Bach Ma. We provide an overview of the park's conservation efforts through
an educational video tape.
In the
summit area there are some species of rare conifers like Bach Ma pine
(Dacrydium elatum), Podocarpus neriifolius and Podocarpus fleuryi. In February,
the red blossoms of the Rhododendron species - Rh. simsii - can be seen along
small streams and in particular at the bottom of the Rhododendron waterfall.
You will
meet a funny forest keeper who also is our tour guide today and will take one
of the below options.
+ The
Pheasant trail:
The
entrance to this trail is only five km away from the park's gate and,
therefore, an ideal place to explore Bach Ma on foot. The trail leads through
tropical forests to the beautiful Pheasant waterfalls where you can take a
refreshing swim. As the name suggests, there are many pheasants living in this area
- although the dense vegetation means that usually these are heard rather than
seen. This trail is nicknamed "leech alley" since these nuisance
creatures are out in force particularly during the rainy season.
+ The Khe
Su village garden tour:
This two
hours' tour offers visitors a chance to experience some typical Vietnamese home
gardens and learn a little bit about rural life in the buffer zone of the
national park. The guided tour leads you to Khe Su village at the foot of Bach
Ma Mountain. Khe Su is home to around 50 households whose main income is
derived from the fruit and vegetables they grow in their cottage gardens. A
huge variety of crops are cultivated including cassava, sugar cane, tea,
bananas, pineapple, mango, coconuts and jackfruit. Characteristic features of
the Vietnamese countryside like lotus ponds, pigsties and stacks of rice stalks
can also be seen.
+ The
Rhododendron trail:
The
spectacular view from the top of this magnificent waterfall is a highlight of a
visit to Bach Ma. This trail begins at the summit road about 2 km below the
guesthouses near the summit and passes through the sub-tropical forests of the
high mountain to the top of waterfall. A steep path with 689 steps (!) of
concrete stairs leads to the bottom of the cliff covering an altitude
difference of about 300 m. The water from here flows into Perfume River in Hue.
