Bu Gia Map National Park Adventures

Located in Binh Phuoc Province in southern Vietnam, Bu Gia Map National Park spans a tropical lowland forest with a complex network of hills, valleys, and streams. Established in 2002, it covers a landscape that serves as an important refuge for numerous endangered and endemic species, including elephants, gibbons, gaur (Indian bison), and rare orchids. The park's ecology features a diverse range of flora including broadleaf evergreen forests, mixed deciduous forests, and areas of bamboo and hardwood species. Historically, the park area was used as a military base during the Vietnam War, and today it is an important site for conservation and ecotourism. Visitors to Bu Gia Map can engage in activities such as trekking through dense forests, bird watching, and camping beside waterfalls and natural pools. Key landmarks include the scenic waterfalls and river pools that provide refreshing stops for hikers. The park’s biodiversity and relatively undisturbed habitat make it an excellent destination for wildlife photography and nature study. Due to its tropical climate, the park is lush and green year-round, but the dry season from November to April offers the best conditions for exploration. Infrastructure and visitor services are basic, encouraging a camping and backcountry experience for those seeking adventure and solitude in Vietnam’s natural environment.
