Stop the hiking route to Langbiang peak due to safety concerns

The hiking trail to conquer Langbiang peak (Lam Dong province) at 2,167m high is temporarily suspended due to landslides and slippery roads, making it unsafe for tourists.

The Center for Ecotourism and Environmental Education, Bidoup - Nui Ba National Park, has just announced the temporary suspension of receiving visitors to the Langbiang tourist route in the park's forest area.

According to the center, the Bidoup - Nui Ba National Park area is currently experiencing complex weather and terrain changes. The trail to Langbiang peak is slippery and has landslides, making it unsafe for tourists to visit and picnic. The unit will review and supplement safety solutions for the route to conquer Langbiang mountain, 2,167 m high, before welcoming visitors back.

Langbiang Plateau (or Lam Vien Plateau), where the two highest peaks are Nui Ba 2,167 m and Bidoup 2,287 m, combine to form the name of Bidoup - Nui Ba National Park. The park was established in 2004, located in Lac Duong district and part of Dam Rong district, Lam Dong province, more than 30 km from Da Lat city. With hundreds of animal species and thousands of plant species, this is an ideal place to attract tourists to explore nature.

Due to the dangerous road, tourists often get lost here, endangering their lives. Most recently, at the end of July and August, two groups of tourists from Ho Chi Minh City were lost in the forest while climbing Langbiang peak in heavy rain and slippery roads and were rescued by authorities.
