These special tours offer opportunities to see the more elusive mammal species of the park including the deer, the herd of bushes, wild rabbits.

Community-based tourism
The forests of Chu Mon Ray are immensely important culturally, providing livelihood resources for local communities. However, the forests and its resources are under constant threat. Community-based ecotourism initiatives are beginning to turn marginalized communities into local stakeholders, creating incentives to support conservation. Why not take a trek to local hill tribe villages are inhabited by such ethnic groups as Gia rai (J’rai), Ba – Na (Bahnar), Roam, Ca Dong (the local group name of the Xo Dang)?

While in the village you will live as one of the family, eat together, have an opportunity to explore their culture. You may have a chance to join some traditional festival such as buffalo grapple festival, new rice festival of Ro-mam people, etc.
