Itinerary
Go to Cuc Phuong National Park (82km), meet local rangers and guides, listen to trip instructions and prepare for the expedition. Before entering the forest, we will visit the primate rescue area to understand more about the research and rescue work of Cuc Phuong National Park.
Get in the car and continue to Bong where we will have lunch at a restaurant in the National Park before entering the forest. Our expedition and discovery have no specific schedule or specific starting or ending point. The local guide will decide which route to follow, where to start and where to end based on time, weather and signs of wildlife in the forest. Our walking routes are not always on existing trails, many parts we will have to pave our way through. Many surprises may lie ahead.
After a few hours of walking into the core of the forest, we will reach the campsite to sleep overnight. Before dinner, the rangers will take us to see the tracks of wild animals. Along the walking route, local forest rangers and guides will share with you knowledge about flora and fauna in the forest and ways to survive in the forest.
Our overnight location will be chosen by a local guide. Enjoy a delicious dinner by the campfire before going to bed.
Trek distance: 6km – 7km
Meals included: Lunch, Dinner
Dawn with the sounds of birds and insects. Enjoy hot coffee or tea and a full breakfast before breaking camp to continue exploring deep in the forest.
Our guide can identify many things that we do not know such as animal tracks, medicinal plants or edible fruits. In addition, local guides can also identify poachers or animal traps in that area to warn or avoid that area.
Today we will travel about 8km - 10km of forest road to reach the edge of the forest at a different point from the starting point. After leaving the forest, we walked about 2km to Bong to have lunch before getting on the bus back to Hanoi.
End the program when you return to Hanoi.
