Destination: Nắng Vũng Tàu via Big Mountain
Chalk Talk: Secs (edited): “Basically a 6 km circle on Big Mountain via Vi Ba, Hem 31, red tape through jungle up and over the mountain until back to Vi Ba, then down through monastery to Nắng Vũng Tàu.”
Trail: Hem 105 Le Ngoc Han to steps onto Vi Ba. Turn right at top of steps, down to Hem 31. Right fork up past Thompsons’ house then right into jungle and follow red marker tapes around the peak, up and across Hem 444 (“Ho May Park Road”), then continue following tapes through jungle until back to Vi Ba. Down past coffee stalls then turn right into Chùa Bồ Đề Bodharama, follow red tape through monastery grounds, down steps onto Tran Phu, turn left, under cable cars, then left again onto Le Ngoc Han to Nắng Vũng Tàu.
Highlights: Views of shipyard then Vung Tau bay; welcome breeze across Hem 444 at top of Big Mtn peak; thirst-quenching pineapple slices from Pineapple Bill while resting in Buddhist monastery; meeting former Hasher My Le Hoang when leaving monastery grounds.
Special interest: Magnificent grounds in Chùa Bồ Đề Bodharama monastery. Theravada Buddhists believe in Namo Buddhaya. This mantra means “homage to the Buddha”. It is one of the Three Refuges through which Buddhists acknowledge the importance of the Buddha. The other two refuges are the Sangha and Dhamma.
