Dak Lak

#CheckinVietnam #checkinbmt What's fun in Buon Ma Thuot - Dak Lak? "March is the season when bees go to collect honey, the season when elephants go down to the river to suck water. The season when I go to clear the fields..." 🍃 For me, this land is very gentle, rich, and full of humanity. I must say that the landscape and food here are unforgettable. When I left, I asked my friend "is it okay if I don't go back?". ❗️Transportation: + Saigon - Buon Ma Thuot plane: ~1,300k/ 1 person/ round trip + Taxi from BMT airport to the center: ~140K + Motorbike rented at homestay: 130K/ 1 day/ manual car + Limousine from BMT center to Lak (about 55KM): 70K/ 1 person/ 1 way (Nguyen Gia Limousine Bus - 0948.111.447) - pick up and drop off guests as requested, very punctual, you can contact to ask about the trips! ❗️Accommodation: + The Highland House: Beautiful home in the center, close to 100 dining and service spots. Recommended for you + Lak Tented Camp: sleep in a super big tent, with air conditioning. I went on the weekend so the price was 980K/person (including dinner - breakfast, accompanying tours), and during the week it was only 850K/person. (detailed review below) ❗️ Places to eat (famous dishes that are all delicious) + Tamarind beef dip: Ca Te restaurant - 140 Le Thanh Tong + 2 bowls of dry pho: 85 Le Quy Don + Bun Chia Co Chua: 222 Nguyen Tat Thanh + Bun rieu cua: 103 Nguyen Duc Canh + Grilled chicken with bamboo rice: Cu H Lam Homestay (10km from the city) + Wet rice with grilled meat: 45 Tran Nhat Duat + Bun rieu, bun do: 33 Ly Tu Trong + ARUL coffee: 17-19 Tran Nhat Duat + La Mo coffee: 55 Ho Tung Mau ‼DETAILED ITINERARY - Day 1: + DrayNur waterfall cluster - Gia Long waterfall (~30KM from the city) + Coffee museum + Arul coffee shop + Khai Doan pagoda - Day 2 and Day 3 + Mother Elephant Rock Mountain (~40KM from the city) + Check out homestay, move to Lak Tented Camp (with round-trip canoe) + When arriving at Lak Tented Camp (2N1D), I just stayed around Lak to enjoy the peaceful, pure space of nature + Lak has a village cycling tour (visit cocoa garden, see pottery artisans, father elephant rock mountain), kayaking,... In addition to the beautiful lake view, there is also a very cozy restaurant area!! Highly recommend staying at Lak for 1 night. This is all my personal opinion, subjective because it is based on my own experience, so it is completely for reference only. Wish everyone a smooth discovery 🛵
