Cuc Phuong National Park

Cuc Phuong National Park is located in Ninh Binh Province, in Vietnam's Red River Delta. Cuc Phuong was Vietnam's first national park and is the country's largest nature reserve. The park is one of the most important sites for biodiversity in Vietnam.

A permit to enter the park can be purchased at the park headquarters at a reasonable price.

Travel within the park can be done on foot or by motorbike, bicycle or car. A twenty kilometer paved road cuts to heart of the forest and passes a number of paths leading to caves. Bikes are the most environmentally friendly alternative and with less noise you’re more likely to see wildlife. Bicycles and motorbikes are available for rent at the park headquarters. Once you’ve reached the park’s center there are numerous stone paths for trekking.

Lodging and restaurant facilities are available at the park’s entrance and within the park. A paved road cuts into the park and a number of paths for hiking are maintained.
