With a terrain divided into many slopes, Chu Yang Sin National Park is a tourist destination for those who love adventure travel. This place is considered a mysterious land with many interesting experiences, bringing you a memorable trip during your travel journey in Buon Ma Thuot city. The coordinates of Chu Yang Sin National Park are located in Buon Ma Thuot city, in Lak and Krong Bong districts of Dak Lak province. From here, it takes about 60km to go east to Buon Ma Thuot city. Currently, Chu Yang Sin is an ecotourism destination loved by many people because of its concentration of many large and small rivers and streams, with many impressive landscapes. Chu Yang Sin National Park is known for its extremely diverse ecosystem, including 9 different forest types, spanning more than 589 km2 in the communes of Cu Dram, Yang Mao, Hoa Phong, Hoa Son, Hoa Le, Khue. Ngoc Dien. Therefore, there are 487 animal species (203 bird species and 46 mammal species) along with thousands of different plant species. When visiting Chu Yang Sin National Park, walking along the Park, you will see this diverse ecosystem. Listening to the rustling of leaves, the sound of gurgling streams or the sound of birds singing happily, is there anything better? Experiencing camping in the forest is something you should try here. Bringing food and a tent, staying overnight with friends will be one of the memorable experiences that many tourists love on their journey to visit and explore Chu Yang Sin. However, you should be careful not to arbitrarily light a campfire in the forest to ensure your safety. Exploring Chu Yang Sin National Park, you can also go to Krong Kmar waterfall located deep inside the mountains and forests and experience waterfall bathing. Although the waterfall is not too big or high, the water is extremely clear and the rock is flat, so it is ideal for you to immerse yourself in the cool water, dispelling fatigue after walking a long distance. . Once you come to Chu Yang Sin, you cannot help but take the time to conquer the peak of Chu Yang Sin mountain. It can be said that this is also the most favorite experience for many backpackers when coming to this National Park. Chu Yang Sin Mountain has an altitude of up to 2500 meters above sea level and is considered the roof of the Central Highlands. Therefore, this mountain has become an attractive target for tourists coming to Chu Yang Sin National Park. To climb to the top of the mountain, you need to be in good health because the path is relatively difficult. However, in return for this difficulty, you will find your efforts are extremely well compensated because from the top of the mountain, you can zoom out and admire the panoramic view of the wild and majestic mountains and forests. If you are tired of the sight of skyscrapers or busy streets with traffic, the scenery here will "compensate" for your spirit a lot. Because Chu Yang Sin National Park is still very wild and has not been exploited for much tourism, you will not be able to find food shops in front of the National Park gate or along the trail into the forest. Therefore, my experience is to prepare drinking water and some food in advance to bring with you. However, it's best to only bring enough to eat. Carrying too much food will make you easily tired from carrying too much, thereby affecting your experience while traveling and exploring Chu Yang Sin National Park. In addition, you should also pay attention to cleaning and taking trash out to throw away, do not leave trash in Chu Yang Sin to protect the natural environment here.
