Bach Ma has long been recognized for its biodiversity; French colonial botanists mapped the area and it later became a national park to protect central Vietnam’s montane forests.
Conservation
The park faces pressure from illegal logging and invasive species; visitors can reduce impact by staying on trails, packing out waste and avoiding single-use plastics.

Start early to beat clouds
