Get inspired | Ba Be Experience

Ba Be National Park often referred to as the Ba Be Lakes, (meaning Three Bays) is in fact three linked lakes, which have a total length of 8km and a width of about 400m. The scenery here is breathtaking, with towering limestone mountains peaking at 1554m, plunging valleys, dense evergreen forests, waterfalls, caves and, of course, the lakes themselves.

The park is a rainforest area with more than 550 named plant species, and he hundreds of wildlife species here include 65 (mostly rarely seen) mammals, 353 butterflies, 106 species of fish, four kinds of turtle, the highly endangered Vietnamese salamander and even the Burmese python. Ba Be birdlife is equally prolific, with 233 species recorded, including the spectacular crested serpent eagle and the oriental honey buzzard. Hunting is forbidden, but villagers are permitted to fish.

There are 13 tribal villages in the Ba Be region, with most belonging to the Tay minority, who live in stilt homes, plus smaller numbers of Dzao and H’mong. You can now experience the real life in a tribal village and sleeping at a real homestay, boat trips and multiday tours of Ba Be National Park, including trekking & kayaking.
