The Basics

Tam Dao National Park is more suited to relaxation than intense adventure, offering visitors a myriad of gentle to intermediate walks and spectacular vistas. Hikes vary from 30-minute strolls to all-day treks that require guides and involve more-challenging terrain and increased chances of spotting wildlife. Travelers looking to take a short break from the bustle of Hanoi can visit the national park on a day trip, which typically include round-trip transfers.

The Charms of Tam Dao Town

Tam Dao town, which lies within the confines of the national park, was established in the early 1900s by French colonists as a hill station to escape summer heat. Another worthwhile site in the area is the Truc Lam Tay Thien Monastery, which encompasses a monastery, temple, and several pagodas.
