Nui Chua National Park Tours You Should Not Miss
Vast sea, towering rocky mountains, mysterious forests, and a special dry ecosystem are words that help describe Nui Chua, one of Vietnam’s major biosphere reserves. Nui Chua is a route that awakens a wild sense of inspiration and gives every traveler a reason to keep moving. That is why hiking and trekking tours exploring Nui Chua are always among the favorites. Tổ Ong suggests three routes in Nui Chua National Park that you should try.
Where is Nui Chua National Park?
Nui Chua National Park is located in Ninh Hai district, Ninh Thuan province, bordering Thuan Bac district in Ninh Thuan and about 20km from the nearest city, Phan Rang.
Nui Chua National Park has the dry, sunny, low-rainfall weather typical of Ninh Thuan. It is famous for one of the most distinctive dry ecosystems in the country. If considering only coastal mountain systems, the mountain range here has the highest peak in Vietnam.
But this place is not only dry and rugged. Across its large area, it also has poetic blue sea and a section of lush humid tropical forest. This combination creates Nui Chua’s fascinating nickname: a half-Asian, half-African route, making it highly suitable for hiking and trekking trips.
Nui Chua Tour – trekking through a dry forest
As its name suggests, this tour explores much of Nui Chua National Park. You will check in at famous spots such as Lo O Stream and O Lim Valley. The route combines both dry forest and humid tropical forest. You will conquer Nui Chua Peak and pass along a stunning coastal road by open-top vehicle.
One attractive highlight of the Nui Chua trekking tour is its endless grassland, green as far as the eye can see. The scenery brings many emotions, almost as if you are standing inside an animated story, beautiful in every frame. From the grassy hills, you can look down and see silver waves hitting sandy hollows at the foot of the mountain.
Nui Chua is considered one of the more difficult routes in Southern Vietnam. Although its elevation is only 1,039m, about one-third of the height of Northwest Vietnam’s mountains, the scenery along the Nui Chua trekking route is no less impressive. It ranges from connected hills to demanding slopes.
One moment you are wandering through a semi-arid forest climate, and the next you enter evergreen closed forest. You may also trek through thorny forest covering the trail. Along the way, you will explore plant and animal life that changes with elevation. At the end of the day, gather and camp in dreamy O Lim Valley, listen to birdsong, watch the moon and stars, and see the sunrise through early morning mist.
Ngu Long Cong Chua Hiking Tour – through primeval forest and across the sea
If you want a more varied journey beyond Nui Chua, with more than one stop, the Ngu Long Cong Chua tour can meet that need. It is a journey that winds into the forest, explores part of Nui Chua National Park, and combines an overnight camp at a one-of-a-kind poetic streamside campsite. The hiking tour also includes SUP paddling in peaceful nature, crossing the sea to visit famous Binh Hung Island, experiencing grape picking, and making fragrant grape wine by hand.
Ngu Long Cong Chua is a healing route. Enjoy days without rushing so you can feel the beauty in nature’s simple and pure details, and listen to the forest sounds like gentle notes touching your soul.
8 Nang Tien Tour – a fairyland in real life
From the name alone, you can almost imagine the beauty of the eight fairies. They are eight beautiful beaches in Nui Chua National Park. 8 Nang Tien is a “playground” for people who love the sea and want to see poetic beaches. Along this walking route, many scenic places also appear, such as Lonely Lake, photo-worthy rock viewpoints, the stone grassland, Mui Bali, and Bai Thung.
The campsite is set at Ninh Thuan’s most beautiful stone park. The stone park has a wide-open space where earth, sky, rock mountains, and sea meet perfectly. It carries a wild and fascinating natural character, with thousands of rocks stacked over time, standing firm against wind and sand.
On the 8 Nang Tien walk, you will be amazed by poetic coastal scenery that looks like a setting for artistic wedding photos. You will also enjoy SUP paddling at a freshwater stream area and visiting Ninh Thuan’s specialty vineyards. The 8 Nang Tien tour is easy and exclusively arranged by Tổ Ong, making it suitable for all ages, even young children. It is a worthwhile choice for a wonderful weekend with family or friends.
Conclusion
Whichever hiking or trekking route you choose to explore, Nui Chua National Park remains special. It carries a wild, rugged character mixed with lush softness. That is what makes Nui Chua impossible to confuse with anywhere else. Each person will have their own experience and feeling when immersed in its natural space. Join Tổ Ong to conquer the half-Asian, half-African forest described with excitement by those who have already been there, and enjoy every wonderful experience.
