Very good loop. After a couple of rainning days there was a lot of mud in the bamboo forest part (1 or 1,5 kms) so hikking shoes were necessary, but not a big issue. Very nice views. Thanks for posting it!
The stretch from ta van through bai da to the end of a river is along a road; lots of people walking along there and route is easy to follow. I couldn't cross the river, but that is fine because you can cross the dam at the end of the valley. Got slightly lost around the waterfall - I think the paths have changed since this route was mapped. You can go up the track to the waterfall, and then there's a path that leads across the top of the forest - it goes around the top then through it a bit. From there back to ta van the route is fine - some people have built their houses on the path but just go around the front of their homes. It can feel like you're in their front yard but I just bowed and smiled and everyone seemed fine ! Lots of people being guided along the route.
