Healing tourism: The forest is a place to return to.

07/10/2023

Having previously worked and lived in Ho Chi Minh City, Son "Troc" decided to leave the city and return to the forest to create healing tourism. "During a solo mountain climb, sitting quietly on the mountaintop, I felt an unusual sense of peace. Tears welled up, and I thought that many people need this feeling of serenity and clarity to overcome their life's pain. The idea for Lac Tour was sparked at that moment."

Healing tourism, also known as wellness tourism, offers travelers wonderful experiences and the opportunity to discover the beauty of nature. Furthermore, it's a time for self-reflection, healing emotional wounds, and improving physical health. Many travelers even leave their trips completely transformed physically, mentally, and emotionally, leading them towards a more meaningful life.

Healing tourism is specifically a journey of experiencing a return to pure nature. In particular, it's seen as an opportunity for travelers to confront their inner struggles. The surrounding nature acts as a catalyst for the awakening of inner peace. According to Mr. Son, Lac Tour's travel itineraries are structured with many experiences designed to foster connections, allowing compassion to be awakened, placing participants in a journey with all the conditions necessary for awakening to occur.

In a healing travel journey, everyone will have the opportunity to experience unique aspects of nature, people, and their inner selves. Depending on the time of year and location, Lac Tour will organize trips to places that are both beautiful and safe.

Lombard

LomBurr is not too far from Da Lat, about 30 km towards Suoi Vang, starting right near the entrance gate of the Monkey and Crane Territory. LomBurr, with an altitude of 1,800 m, was named by the K'Ho people and does not exist within the administrative boundaries of the province.

The challenging path starts from the valley floor at an altitude of 800 meters and climbs to the summit at 1,800 meters, with steep slopes stretching upwards. Characterized by the dense, multi-layered tropical rainforest of the highlands, the vegetation is so thick and overgrown that finding an open space is quite rare.

The campsite is located on the summit of LomBurr, where the terrain changes dramatically, with small white rocks mixed in with the soil, and a vast expanse of wild grass with strangely shaped, gnarled oil palm trees. Early mornings and late nights reveal patches of mist lingering on the grass, contrasting sharply with the open space above. Especially, listen to the birds chirping and watch the sunrise with the feeling of a child returning home.

Visitors will traverse a pine forest, admire the trees, flowers, and plants, and encounter a few challenging steep slopes.

Sharing with Travellive readers, Son "Troc" advised: "Prepare the right mindset before embarking on this journey so you don't waste time and money, only to return still reeling from lingering wounds. I hope everyone always remembers the importance of self-healing. Travel in general, and Lac Tour in particular, will strive to create a conducive environment for healing your soul."

Đây là khoảng thời gian để nhìn nhận lại cách sống của bản thân, chữa lành những vết thương trong tâm hồn và rèn luyện sức khỏe.

This is a time to reflect on your way of life, heal emotional wounds, and improve your health.

Essentials for a healing travel trip:

  • Specialized backpacks with support features will aid your trekking journey.
  • Clothing: keep it minimalist and prioritize lightweight, less bulky clothing.
  • Warm jacket and high socks: due to the rather cold weather at night.
  • Athletic shoes: Since you'll be moving on steep terrain, wear athletic shoes for comfort, preferably shoes designed for walking or trekking.
  • Slippers for wearing in the tent: your feet need comfort after a tiring day of walking.
  • Power bank: In the forest, there will be no electricity or phone signal, so you can bring a power bank and inform your family to avoid causing them worry.
  • Raincoat: Since it can rain unexpectedly, it's a good idea to bring a lightweight raincoat.
  • In particular, it brings true peace to the soul: leaving behind the hustle and bustle and conveniences of the outside world, returning to the forest for a truly free, natural, and rustic experience.
