Ba Be itself is actually three smaller lakes
joined together - Pe Lam, Pe Lu and Pe Leng. The
climate is cool with an average temperature of
22oC. The best time to visit the area is during
the dry season, which is during winter and
spring.
Ba Be Lakes lie in the middle of
a vast limestone mountain range of Ba Be
District, in Bac Kan Province, 200km north-west
of Ha Noi - dubbed a "precious jade of Viet Nam"
and one of 500 lakes recognised as worthy of
attention. Ba Be Lakes area has a lot to offer,
including waterfalls, rivers, valleys, lakes,
and caves all set amidst picturesque landscapes.
Ba Be Lakes, located 145 meters above sea level,
are among the largest natural lakes in Vietnam
with a total surface area of 500 hectares. The
area was established as a national preserved
forest and tourist center in 1978.
Ba Be Lakes are surrounded by
many ancient trees, from which several varieties
of precious wood are obtained. Up to 30 animal
species such as wild pigs, bears, panthers,
monkeys, and birds inhabit the area.
The surface of the lake was
tranquil - a beauty spot if ever there was one,
in this land of so much beauty. Visitors will
have an unforgettable stay in the mountains by
the lakes, enjoying sightseeing boat trips,
hikes, and water sports. From Ba Be, tourists
can visit other neighboring scenic attractions
such as Dau Dang Fall, Puong Cave, and Tien
Pond.
Passing by Puong Cave (30m high,
300m long), cruise past the villages of Tau, Cam
and Hua Tang, and navigate your way through the
river’s forks and brooks, you will reach Dau
Dang Falls.
