If the moss forest and rhododendrons on K'lang Peak are the surreal world of Avatar, and the ancient Pơ Mu forest is the sacred and majestic home of thousand-year-old forest deities, then the Lim forest is a primitive landscape full of survival and exploration vibes, reminiscent of Bear Grylls' episodes.
The Lim forest trek route starts from Tary village, Lang commune, following the Lang stream to the Lang river and then to the Bung 4 hydropower lake in Nam Giang. This trek passes through the ancient Lim forest, with some trees being up to 200 years old. Along this trek, you will also encounter many giant sour trees, whose trunks require more than a dozen people to embrace.

- For those terrains, we need to prepare trekking shoes with high-quality cohesion and quick dry ones.

- All lunches in the forest are quite simple; however, they are rich in nutrition and bring the unique taste of that local. All the main meals including chicken or pork grilled, pork cooked with jungle vegetables, boiled jungle vegetables or stir fry, and fried egg are eaten with bamboo rice or sticky rice. Dessert is a popular fruit like oranges and watermelon. Breakfast is often instant noodles or cassava soup cooked with jungle vegetables.
