Dive into the foothills of Dinh Mountain for an exciting night of herping in one of southern Vietnam\u2019s under-explored lowland forest areas. Just a few hours\u2019 drive from the city, the area offers accessible terrain, dense forest edges, and a notable diversity of reptiles and amphibians, including kraits, pit vipers, kukris, and a variety of frogs and geckos.<\/p>

The tour begins at around 1:00 PM with pick-up from your district in Ho Chi Minh City. After a relaxed afternoon drive, we check in at a local hotel at the base of the mountain. There\u2019s time to grab dinner and stock up on drinks and snacks before we make our way up into the forested hills. From dusk until late evening, we search key sections of trail on foot, focusing on known herping hotspots and a variety of microhabitats across the mountain\u2019s slopes.<\/p>

Species diversity in the area is impressive, and the mountain has produced a number of highlights including Banded Krait (Bungarus fasciatus), Monocled Cobra (Naja kaouthia), Ruby-eyed Pit Viper (Trimeresurus rubeus), Green Cat Snake (Boiga cyanea), and Radiated Rat Snake (Coelognathus radiatus), along with a rich mix of frogs and forest geckos after rain.<\/p>

Drop-off at your hotel in HCMC after midnight.<\/p>

Whether you\u2019re targeting specific snakes, interested in night photography, or just curious to experience the nocturnal forest life of southern Vietnam, this short-format trip is a rewarding introduction to the region\u2019s herping scene.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
