Chalk Talk: Secs (edited): “Short’ish trail about 3 km, mostly downhill. Follow red ribbons to big temple then rear exit and rocky trail to Suoi Da.”
Trail: Dismounted Hashmobile at roadside stalls between car park and bridge on Nui Dinh. Down steps, across stream for Chalk Talk. Up steps and follow red ribbons to bypass massive Phat Quang pagoda and monastery. Continued following red ribbons along rocky trail – some uphill but mostly level or down - past small but interesting shrine then rockpools 1-5 and out to gazebo and Hashmobile alongside exit track for Down Down (choice of swimming, chatting, drinking, eating or all of above!).
Highlights: 100% jungle trail, mostly level or downhill so pleasant, not overly strenuous outing with plenty of shade!
