The Best Family-Friendly Trails in Bach Ma
A Bach Ma National Park tour typically includes walking or light trekking, so it’s helpful to know in advance which trails suit children best. Whether you’re travelling with little ones or adventurous teens, the following trails offer a rewarding way to explore the park together.
Hai Vong Dai Trail
This is the easiest sightseeing route in the park, suitable for visitors of all ages. The trail begins at Morin Villa and follows an 800-metre granite-paved path leading up to Hai Vong Dai, a mountaintop viewpoint at around 1,430 metres above sea level.
At the summit, families can take in panoramic views of mountains, forests, lagoons and the distant coastline.
What sets this viewpoint apart from peaks in other popular highland destinations like Da Lat or Sa Pa is the combination of cool mountain air and the fresh breeze rolling in from the nearby coast, a sensory reminder of the park’s unique location.
Do Quyen Waterfall Trail
This well-marked trail covers approximately 4 kilometres round trip and takes 1 to 2 hours to complete at a relaxed pace. It leads to the 300-metre-tall Do Quyen Waterfall, the park’s most majestic waterfall. With rope supports and small bridges, the trail is easy to follow.
The final stretch opens up to views of the falls surrounded by blooming rhododendrons in spring. Here, families can take a break and enjoy the view. Kids will enjoy splashing in the nearby stream, especially during the dry season when the path is at its safest.
Along the way, keep an eye out for birdlife, including the red-headed trogon and blue-winged pitta, as well as playful red-shanked douc langurs swinging through the trees.
Tri Sao Waterfall Trail
This trail begins near the park’s entrance at kilometre 5 and stretches about 2.5 kilometres round trip. It takes about 1 to 1.5 hours to complete.
This trail is an easy walk through gentle forest terrain, passing small waterfalls and clear lakes along the way. Named after the elusive and critically endangered Vietnamese crested argus, the trail offers the chance to glimpse this rare bird in its natural habitat.
The route ends at the peaceful Tri Sao Waterfall, where water flows gently over moss-covered stone steps into a crystal-clear lake. It’s a quiet, shady spot perfect for a short break before the walk back.
