Hon Ba Nature Reserve

Hon Ba Nature Reserve

Situated 60 kilometers from Nha Trang, the Hon Ba Nature Reserve covers an area of almost 47,000 acres. This ancient forest region is awash with wild nature and was established in order to protect and preserve the unique biodiversity of the area, including resources, wildlife, and flora. The reserve is home to almost 600 different types of plants and 255 species of animals, including many endangered species.
A long and winding path leads through the mist to the peak of Hon Ba Mountain, which sits at an altitude of 1500 meters, allowing it to enjoy a cool yet humid client all year-round, contributing to the area’s rich biodiversity. From the top of the mountain, spectacular panoramic views of the region unfold, and there’s also the small wooden house of the French doctor, Alexandre Yersin, who established the path to the peak of the mountain a century ago.

Practical Info

To reach the Hon Ba Nature Reserve from Nha Trang, head south on Highway 1A towards Dau Stream, then turn onto the bridge here and follow the long road to Hon Ba.
