Hon Ba is a popular hilly destination, known as a "Sleeing princess in a forest" covered with fog and mist all year round.
With cool climate, Hon Ba is like a Da Lat of a beach city. It is 30km from Nha Trang City and 60-70 km from National Road 1A.
Hon Ba is shrouded in mist and fog. You feel as if you are gliding in the skies.
Tourists often get up early to contemplate sunrise with clouds drifting and bobbing around.
Sun rays do not appear out of a thick blanket of mist and fog until 8am or even later.
Thanks to the humid tropical climate, Hon Ba sees dense forests with abundant plants and wildlife. It is no wonder Hon Ba is a treat to visit.
Hon Ba has rich biodiversity with abundant species of flora and fauna. The 20.000ha Hon Ba Nature Reserve is known to be home to 100 rare species of flora and fauna listed in the Red Book of Endangered Species.
A celebrated scientist, Dr. Alexandre Yersin, reached Hon Ba in 1915 and opened a station where he tried to acclimatize in that country the quinine tree (Cinchona ledgeriana), which produced the first known effective remedy for preventing and treating malaria.
If your idea of a perfect trip is getting up close and personal with the natural world, Hon Ba is a perfect choice for you.
