Planning Your Trip

Best Time to Visit

The ideal time to experience the Bach Ma Park National Park day tour is from December to April. The cold and dry weather makes it perfect to explore the outdoors so it’s best in my opinion to visit at this time as its hiking epicenter. On the other hand, you should steer clear from visiting during the rainy season (this lasts from September to November) when all trails become slippery and dangerous. Both of these time frames generally provide sunny weather and mild-not-too-hot-temperatures making it an ideal time to explore the park’s impressive landscapes and ecosystems.
