CATTIEN WILD TOURS

Cattien forest – Your legacy

Cát Tiên National Park, located approximately 175 km north of Ho Chi Minh City and 200 km south-east of Đà Lạt, lies at the ecological heart of southern Vietnam. This vast lowland rainforest is one of the country’s most important biodiversity hotspots, offering exceptional opportunities for wildlife observation, birdwatching, nature photography, and conservation-focused travel.

For those seeking an authentic wildlife adventure in Vietnam, a specialist birding tour, or an unforgettable gibbon trekking experience, Cát Tiên National Park delivers a rare and immersive encounter with nature.

Discover the wildlife wonders of Cat Tien national park

Designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Cát Tiên National Park covers more than 80,000 hectares of protected forest, wetlands, and grasslands. It is widely regarded as one of Vietnam’s most significant ecological reserves.

The park is home to over 351 recorded bird species, making it a premier destination for birdwatchers and wildlife photographers. Notable species include Germain’s Peacock-Pheasant, Siamese Fireback, Green Peafowl, Orange-necked Partridge, Blue-rumped Pitta, Bar-bellied Pitta, and Grey-faced Tit Babbler.

Mammal diversity is equally impressive. Visitors may encounter Golden-cheeked Gibbons, Black-shanked Douc Langurs, Annamese Silvered Langurs, Southern Pygmy Lorises, Long-tailed Macaques, Gaur, Asian Elephants, and more. A visit to the iconic Crocodile Lake offers insight into one of Southeast Asia’s most important wetlands, home to over 500 Siamese Crocodiles.

Cát Tiên Wild Tours – Your Gateway to Responsible Eco-Tourism

Cát Tiên National Park is more than a protected forest—it is a place where nature speaks and people listen.

“For over 22 years, I have lived and worked in Cát Tiên. I have walked with village elders, shared stories with forest rangers, and collaborated with scientists and conservation organisations dedicated to protecting this land. Many travellers come for the wildlife and birds—and stay for the peace. Some remain for weeks, unable to leave. What makes Cát Tiên unforgettable is its biodiversity, the serenity of untouched ecosystems, and the quiet joy of being part of something wild and timeless.” Mr Nguyễn Lương Dũng, VIETNATURE
