Home to vast primeval forests, majestic waterfalls, and diverse ecosystems of flora and fauna, this region promises captivating and unforgettable journeys for nature lovers and eco-travelers alike.
Pu Mat National Park: A Green Jewel of Biodiversity
At the heart of Western Nghe An’s ecological attractions lies Pu Mat National Park, a core area of the Western Nghe An Biosphere Reserve recognized by UNESCO. Spanning over 94,750 hectares, the park is a treasure trove of rare and endangered plant and animal species. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in its lush green landscapes and breathe in the pure, refreshing air of the ancient forest.
During the changing seasons, Pu Mat transforms into a canvas of warm, vibrant hues, offering romantic and poetic scenery. In the park’s buffer zone, travelers can also explore cultural and historical sites such as Tra Lan Citadel, Ma Nhai Stele, and Van Temple, adding depth and meaning to their nature journey.
Pha Lai Ecotourism Area: River Charm and Mountain Serenity
Pha Lai Ecotourism Area in Mon Son commune draws visitors with its picturesque riverscapes, where the clear Giang River winds gracefully through majestic mountain ranges. A boat ride here, gliding between towering cliffs, offers a rare sense of peace and serenity. Not far away, Nuoc Moc stream, with its crystal-clear, cool waters, is perfect for a leisurely picnic or riverside relaxation.
Tam Dinh Sang Le Forest: Nature’s Autumn Masterpiece
One of the most breathtaking natural wonders of the region is Tam Dinh Sang Le Forest, home to hundreds of ancient cassia trees spread across more than 70 hectares. In autumn, the forest transforms into a stunning display of golden and crimson foliage, offering spectacular views. To enhance the visitor experience, local authorities have developed rest stops and walking trails, making it easier for tourists to explore and capture unforgettable moments.
The cassia forest along the main commune road has become a popular tourist attraction, with charming “check-in” spots created by locals. Here, visitors can not only take in the natural beauty but also enjoy traditional dishes prepared under the forest canopy, providing an authentic taste of indigenous life.
Sustainable Development Through Nature and Culture
Beyond established destinations, other cassia forests in the region are also being developed into emerging eco-tourism sites. In areas where tourism infrastructure is less suitable, locals have begun planting medicinal herbs under the forest canopy. This initiative not only creates unique tourism products but also supports biodiversity conservation and sustainable land use.
An Invitation to Explore
Western Nghe An is steadily solidifying its position as a premier destination for travelers who seek to explore majestic natural landscapes and engage with indigenous cultures. With its scenic beauty, ecological diversity, and warm hospitality, every journey to this land promises lasting impressions and meaningful connections with both nature and local communities.
