Bạch Mã National Park

An incredible park with an interesting history. Bach Ma was one of the highlights of Vietnam for me; an adventure immersed in nature. On a tour I was able to hike into the park, seeing picturesque monuments and waterfalls, I was even able to swim in a natural pool at the base of a waterfall. In 1932, the summit of Bach Ma was selected by French engineer Girard to become a hill station for the colonial administration of Hue. In the following years a village boasting 139 villas and hotels were created. In the 1950's this area saw heavy fighting with the Viet Minh soldiers. After independence from the French Bach Ma was soon forgotten and the villas abandoned. At 1250m elevation this national park is a popular summer retreat for Vietnamese looking to feel the relief of cooler the cooler temps of the park.

It’s great to be here. We spent a night at the old French Villa with no ones else, it was lucky that electricity was cut off that night . We had a so romantic day and night there with candles and no phone or internet. We very much appreciate Bach Ma National Park. We want to come back.

I had a trekking tour here last week, it was wonderful experience, both for the nature and the history about the area, all thanks to the local guide. If you come in the next months (march and april) the rhododendron plants wich the park is full should be blooming.

It is much cooler than at sea level. There was no AC nor a fan in the bedroom, no need. If you are fit to walk in nature, this is a great place to visit. The hotel restaurant was nice with good Vietnamese dishes and cold beer. The local wine was different and not in our taste. We saw sun rising and sunset, and we were even in the clouds.

You need to enter quite early (before 9:30am) to walk on your own since the road is 16km long. If you arrive later, you'll need to be driven by a car from the national park (900.000VND) since they do not let vehicles enter the park on their own.

You must pay 900,000 vnd to get in. So crazy. Can't go inside with motorbike, only with their cars. If I knew this before I would never go in the first place this is just an outrageous price for Vietnam I was shocked.

It's such a shame that you cannot enter by bike and have to pay a ridiculous amount for the car

The weather here is just perfect!!! Perfect place to go hiking, swimming at waterfall on the way to the top. Beautiful beach view with a lot of protected animal… highly recommended stay a night here at the top, try out local food… will go back for peace and get away from the city
