The
Park Headquarters is approximately 160 km away from Ho Chi Minh
City (HCMC), from where it is usually accessed - via the main road
to Da Lat (route 20). Exit HCMC on route 1A and pass through the
conurbation of Bien Hoa, then fork left onto route 20 at Dau Giay.
After approximately 70 km, turn left at Tan Phu, from where the
Park is signposted. Having passed a couple of hamlets (Ap)
proceed approximately 13 km (before reaching Talai) and turn
right at Phu Lap. Turn left at the Nui Tuong junction, then bear
right to follow the river until you reach Nam Cat Tien Hamlet (AP
5). Turn left at the T junction and the ferry crossing into the
park (as appears below) is after less than 1 km.
Alternatively,
for travellers from Da Lat and the north, there is a minor road
leading to Nam Cat Tien, which starts with a right turn (currently
not signposted) after having passed through the centre of Ma Da
Gui town southbound along route 20. After approximately 6 km, turn
right then pass through AP 6 after a further 2 km. A rather pot-holed
road continues for about 7 km more before reaching Nam Cat Tien
Hamlet, where you continue straight on to the ferry crossing, after
less than 1 km.
