Ba Vi National Park

Ba Vi National Park is a protected mountain range west of Hanoi with three distinct peaks, the highest rising to about 1,300 meters. The landscape features hiking trails, camping zones, and visitor centers to help people explore the terrain.

The park was established in 1991 to protect the diverse ecosystems of the mountain range and support conservation efforts in the region. This decision marked a turning point for long-term environmental preservation.

A temple dedicated to Ho Chi Minh sits at one of the highest peaks, drawing visitors to climb stone steps through the mountains. The journey itself has become a meaningful pilgrimage for many who seek both spiritual connection and mountain views.

The park lies about 48 kilometers west of Hanoi and offers marked trails suitable for different abilities and designated camping spots. Visitor centers provide guidance and local guides to help you navigate and get the most from your visit.

The elevation changes across the park create distinct climate zones that support over 1,300 plant species and many native animal populations. This concentration of natural variety makes each hike feel like stepping through different ecological worlds.
