Cat Tien National Park is in the South region of Vietnam. It lies between Ho Chi Minh City and Dalat just north of the highway.
The reason for a visit to Cat Tien park is an overnight stay at Crocodile Lake in the depths of the park. By pickup truck, the overnight trip leaves at around 13:00 and involves a 1 hour drive and a 5km hike. For those short on time, Crocodile Lake can also be done as a day trip.
