Heading from Da Nang to the Gate of Bach Ma National Park

A private car from Da Nang to Bach Ma National Park: the drive and the walk

Bach Ma National Park is about 65 km and 1.5 hours from Da Nang one way. Founded in 1991 with 22,031 ha and enlarged to 37,487 ha in 2008, it rises to Hai Vong Dai at about 1,450 m, looking over Lang Co bay.

What decides the trip is not the time in the car but the state of the road to the summit.

What the road to the summit is like now

The park reopened on 1 January 2026, but a landslide at km 12 has cut the road to the summit, and it was still cut in June 2026: from there visitors walk about 500 m across the landslide and then about 7 km up to Hai Vong Dai, and are asked to reach the Visitor Centre before 9:00 to join a guided group and to be back before 17:00. Ask the park management which route is open before you settle a date; the details are in the guide to Bach Ma National Park.

Working back from the Visitor Centre time

An illustration, not a fixed schedule: if you want to be at the Visitor Centre at 8:30, the car leaves Da Nang at about 6:45, which leaves about 1 hour 45 minutes for the 1.5-hour drive plus a buffer. The two directions in a day come to about 3 hours in the car, not counting the time you spend there; heavy rain can change which route is open, so check the forecast and the guide to the Central Vietnam storm season before you go.

The car while you walk, and the return

The route rate is one way from Da Nang to the park; the car waiting while you walk and the return we will quote and confirm separately according to your plan. Where a car may stop inside the park is set by the park management; cars can enter the gates of hotels and resorts to pick up guests in Da Nang. If you start from Hoi An, see the Hoi An to Bach Ma foothill private car route.

Not included in the rate

• Not included: park tickets, the guide fee and personal meals; extra stops, waiting time beyond the free allowance in the Trip terms and the return direction are not included automatically and will be clearly itemized in our quote.
