After driving a motorbike 3,100 kilometers through Vietnam, and driving here for a hike, they won’t let me enter without buying a driver and a car. This is Vietnam. Talk about a money grab. Shame on you people.

I was going to spend the day in Bach Ma to do a couple of very easy treks. I thank you for the previous comments warning about the mandatory car that you have to pay for. I would have really liked to go but it seems like a robbery if you go on your own, so I save the scooter trip and make other plans... Let them keep other people's money. It's a shame that you have to take tours or pay those amounts to be able to enjoy nature. If they were more difficult treks and/or many kilometers long I would understand... But this??? That you can hardly walk 500 meters one way to the 5 lakes.... Let them invent whatever excuses they want, they are thieves. No wonder it is not known, not even the majority of Vietnamese can afford it. They should manage the park better, but I highly doubt it.

Quite nice views, very exhausting to see all the waterfalls though, nothing for weak people or those with health issues. Worth visiting if you would like a real nature adventure
