ba vi national park tour travel

Ba Vi National Park, a formerly French hill station, the triple-peaked Ba Vi Mountain (Nui Ba Vi) has been attracting visitors for decades and remains a popular weekend escape from the Capital Hanoi. The limestone mountain is now part of the Ba Vi National Park, which has several rare and endangered plants in its protected forest, as well as mammals including two species of rare ?flying’ squirrel and bountiful bird life.

Ba Vi National Park is located about 48 KM west of Hanoi and it takes about two hours to reach by car. The ride to the park can be a bit bumpy and it’s best avoiding the park in the rainy season when roads may be slippery ? especially the hiking trails. The road leading to the summit’s car park is very steep and narrow although efforts to widen the road are on-going.

Ba Vi National Park is about 65 km west of Hanoi, and the only practical option for visiting is by hired vehicle from Hanoi or just if its part of a Vietnam tour packages you booked earlier. Traveling by motorbike, it is possible to visit Ba Vi before taking a beautiful riverside road down to Hoa Binh and on wards into the northwest. There has been some confusion between attractions near Ba Vi town, which is well away from the park boundaries, and Ba Vi National Park. Make sure your driver knows you want the national park.

You can opt for a bus travel to reach to the national park then you must take the one that is depart from My Dinh station or Kim Ma street in Hanoi, for Son Tay and flag down a local bus from there toward Khoang Xanh. Or take local bus no. 214 from My Dinh which turns down the Khoang Xanh road. Alternatively try to book a Motorbike from Son Tay. It should cost about 200,000 dong to take you to the summit, have your driver wait for you while you visit a temple, and return.
