Unveils Two Day Tour to the Jungle Nam Cat Tien National Park.
Hanoi,
Vietnam, August 26, 2012 --
Luxury Travel Unveils Two Day Tour to the Jungle Nam Cat Tien National Park.
Luxury Travel Unveils Two Day Tour to the Jungle Nam Cat Tien National Park.
Located
160 km. from Ho Chi Minh City, Nam Cat Tien National Park is reported
to have 600 plant species, 240 bird species, and 50 species of
mammals including the one-horn rhinoceros, one of several endangered
mammals from Vietnam listed in the World Red Book.
Cat
Tien National Park is situated about 160 km north of Ho Chi Minh
City. The park was established in 1998 and is actually comprised of
two separate areas, Nam Cat Tien and Cat Loc, which are linked by the
Dong Nai River.
Together
they cover around 185,000 acres of evergreen rainforest which is home
to over 600 varieties of plants, 240 types of birds and 50 species of
mammals, including the one-horn Javan rhinoceros.
The
rhino is one of several endangered mammals in Vietnam that has almost
been driven to extinction by man's greed. In the past poachers could
expect a large purse from the sale of rhino horn.
The
Javan rhino was thought to be extinct in Vietnam until the 1980’s
when a few were discovered in the northern part of Cat Loc.
In
1992 Cat Loc was declared a Rhino sanctuary by the World Wildlife
Fund, who estimate that there are only 5 to 8 Javan rhinos left.
Their very existence as a species is still under threat, although it
is hoped that an increase in awareness and a sustainable eco-tourism
industry can safeguard the animal’s future.
Certainly
the 60 park wardens take great pride in their “Vietnamese Rhino”
and continually patrol the area on the lookout for poachers.
“Luxury
Travel Company is currently operating small group trips in the
national park and we appreciate the importance of being beneficial
rather than detrimental to the fragile eco-system that exists in the
Cat Tien National Park,” says Pham Ha, CEO and Founder of Luxury
Travel Vietnam. “We limit our groups to a maximum of ten people and
stay in the newly built Forest Floor Lodge within the sanctuary and
can opt for camping in the jungle. Inside the park you can trek,
animal watch, ride bicycles and boat along the river and explore one
of Vietnam’s as yet untouched treasures.”
Forest
Floor Lodge offers boutique 12 accommodation units, suitable for
double occupancy consisting of deluxe tents, and traditional
Vietnamese wooden houses. These are secluded and equipped for your
comfort, with good quality bathrooms, and tastefully selected
furnishings. Each room is provided with a mini-bar, ceiling fans, and
air-conditioning units as required.
The
Forest Floor Lodge accommodation units are accessed via elevated
walkways and offer either views across the Dong Nai river, or a
"living in the jungle" ambience. The Executive Tent #B2 is
most recommended for a wonderful view on the river and privacy.
Tour
costs starts from 231 USD per person based on the private party of
two people, inclusive of private pick up, drop off services from
Saigon, ferry, walking tour, a private jeep for animal watching at
night, transfer by a private car, English speaking guide,
accommodation and meals. This cost is valid until 31 Sep 2013. Guests
can opt for 3 day package program with one additional night in Bau
Sau or Crocodile Lake.
