Journey from love to mountains

Chu Nam Mountain is located in Chu Pah District (old), about 30 km from Pleiku center. With an altitude of 1,500 m above sea level, this place was once considered the "roof" of Gia Lai province. On the top of Chu Nam, there used to be a forest.

To make the place we come to not just a one-time visit, the journey of silently exploring the rocky Chu Nam has awakened in their hearts a strong belief in sowing each green seed to create a happy forest.

Start with the tillage stage

On Chu Nam peak, trees are not easy to grow and develop because of the high altitude, strong winds, dryness and barren, rocky soil. They choose pine, Indian laurel, and tropical fruit trees to plant.

Whether it's hot or rainy, it can't stop people from climbing the mountain for the love of trees.
