Ba Be National Park

Ba Be National Park is a popular tourist destination in the Bac Kan Province in Northern Vietnam. Travelers venture 5 hours from the capital of Hanoi to experience this ASEAN Heritage Park’s natural beauty, rich biodiversity, and diverse culture.

A quick search of the place will always yield images of a body of water which is the Ba Be Lake which also houses the Tien Pond, a round-shaped pool with a 3,000 sqm acreage. Kayaking along this lake is a must. The wonder of Tein Pond is its surrounding primeval forest and its serene, ripple-less feature. Naturally, trekking is the name of the game in this national park and if you venture further you will be rewarded with the Dau Dang Waterfall and will be treated to pleasant sights of diverse flora. Other worthy sites to visit are the Hua Ma Cave and the ethnic Tay Pac Ngoi Village.

Ba Be is worth than a day tour so if you plan to stay there are quite a few options such as Be Be Lake View Homestay and Mr. Linh’s Homestay and recommended for their spectacular view of the Lake, their cleanliness, character, and hospitality. For a more local experience, one may choose to rent a room in one of the ethnic villages.
