Located more than 140 km from Hoi An, Tak Po Peak (also known as Tak Po, in Tra Tap Commune, Nam Tra My District) is a new destination on Quang Nam’s tourism map. It captivates visitors with its pristine, verdant landscape and unique allure.
Compared to popular tourist sites like Hoi An or the My Son Sanctuary, Tak Po Peak is still relatively unknown. However, some travel enthusiasts who have visited describe it as an ideal destination for “healing” and relaxation.
Photographer Nguyen Thanh Cuong from Hue shared with VietNamNet that he was especially struck by Tak Po’s natural beauty, particularly the opportunity to see a sea of clouds during his first visit.
“This is the most beautiful cloud-hunting spot I’ve ever been to,” Cuong exclaimed.
Previously, this young photographer has had cloud-hunting experiences in Ta Xua (Son La), Da Lat (Lam Dong), Quang Tri, and Quang Ngai.
According to Cuong’s experience, to successfully catch the clouds at Tak Po Peak, visitors should monitor the weather forecast. If there’s light rain the previous afternoon, the sea of clouds is likely to appear the following morning.
“You can visit and enjoy Tak Po Peak for a day or set up camp and stay overnight. I arrived in the afternoon, stayed the night, and enjoyed the clouds early the next morning,” he added.
Cuong revealed that this camping spot remains largely untouched and undiscovered, allowing him to fully appreciate the tranquility, privacy, and poetic beauty of Quang Nam’s mountains and forests.
However, since Tak Po Peak is a relatively new destination without tourism infrastructure, visitors need to bring their own food and supplies for a safe and enjoyable experience.
For overnight stays, visitors should bring camping essentials like tents, sleeping bags, flashlights, and warm clothing.
“There are no tourism services, lodgings, or food vendors here, so most people camp on the grass, providing their own food and drinks,” Cuong noted.
He also advised visitors to maintain the environment by avoiding littering or starting fires directly on the grass to protect the natural landscape.
