Discovery of the Gong culture area

Your stay in the province of Dak Lak would not be complete without discovering the space of gong culture, the soul of the land of Dak Lak, inscribed in 2008 by UNESCO on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. To this end, we invite you to attend a performance of traditional gong music, punctuated by folk dances and songs. Closely linked to daily life and the cycle of the seasons, the belief systems of the ethnic groups of the Central Highlands compose a mystical world where the playing of the gong constitutes a privileged language between men, divinities and the supernatural world.    

The sublime lake of Lak

This vast natural body of water in the Central Highlands is one of the most beautiful natural sites in the region. Nature has surpassed itself by composing here a picture of great beauty: an immense expanse of water surrounded by rice fields and sleeping volcanic mounts. Formed in an ancient crater, Lak Lake is the second largest natural lake in Vietnam, covering some 650 hectares, with a length of about 5 km, and a width of 2 km. A pleasant boat ride will allow you to appreciate all the beauty of this natural jewel. Perched on the heights of the lake, you can see the former residence of Emperor Bao Dai who liked to come here to relax and go hunting.

Taste the Vietnamese soil

Benefiting from a temperate climate and fertile land, the Central Highlands and Dak Lak province are blessed with prosperous agriculture. As you travel through this beautiful hilly region you will have the opportunity to see various plantations: rubber, coffee, tea, pepper or cocoa. Stops in the farms will be an excellent opportunity to taste the products of the exceptional Vietnamese soil.

Yok Don National Park

Yok Don National Park is one of Vietnam's largest nature reserves, with 120,500 hectares of mainly deciduous forest in the middle of which the Serepok River flows. Yok Don National Park has one of Vietnam's richest forests in terms of biodiversity, which has become an important site for the conservation of globally threatened species such as the Indochinese tiger and leopard, the Indian elephant and the gaur.

Best season:

Dak Lak province can be visited at any season of the year. Beware of heavy rains between July and September.
