Itinerary

Lunch, Dinner
Camping

You’re picked up in Da Lat in the morning and driven about 45 minutes northeast to Bidoup Nui Ba National Park. After leaving the main road, a short dirt-road drive brings you to the trailhead, where you meet your guide, check gear, and get ready for the trek.

The trek begins with a steady 4 km walk through quiet forest paths leading to the park’s ranger station. This section is a good warm-up and gives you your first feel for the landscape and altitude.

You cross the river on a simple wooden platform supported by barrels, then start a gradual climb from around 1,300 meters. The trail winds through pristine pine forests, with open views toward surrounding hills and small villages below.

After a picnic lunch, the trail continues uphill toward the campsite at 1,900 meters. Set on the edge of the jungle, this is your base for the night. Once you arrive, you can relax, explore the nearby forest, and help prepare dinner over a campfire before settling in for the night.

After breakfast, you continue trekking as the scenery slowly changes from pine forest to dense jungle. The path becomes narrower and more winding, but the climb remains manageable. Orchids grow naturally along this section, adding color to the trail.

After around 1–2 hours of trekking, you reach the summit of Mount Bidoup at 2,287 meters — the highest point in southern Vietnam. Take time to enjoy the views, rest, and celebrate reaching the top before starting the descent.

The trail drops steeply from the summit, then levels out as you pass over a second peak. Along the way, you stop at a remarkable 1,300-year-old tree, one of the park’s most impressive natural landmarks.

From here, the trail gradually descends through the forest, bringing the trek to a close. You’re transferred back to Da Lat, arriving late morning to early afternoon, depending on group pace and trail conditions.
