Dak Lak Travel – Discover the Cultural Soul of Vietnam’s Central Highlands

A Land of Heritage and Harmony

Dak Lak lies in the heart of Vietnam’s Central Highlands. It’s a place where nature, history, and culture come together.
Home to 49 ethnic groups, the province is a colorful mosaic of traditions — from Ede longhouses and Ba Na communal houses, to northern stilt houses and ancient village temples.

The Echo of Gongs – The Spirit of the Highlands

No trip to Dak Lak is complete without hearing the Gong Culture of the Central Highlands.
Recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, the sound of gongs is more than music. It’s the heartbeat of the highlands — the voice of the mountains and the rhythm of community life.

Dak Lak also celebrates many other traditional arts:

• Bai Choi folk singing in the east, recognized by UNESCO in 2017.
• The “Double Drum, Triple Gong, Five Gong” performances of the Cham H’roi and Ba Na peoples, listed as National Heritage in 2016.
• Dozens of folk songs and musical instruments, each with its own soul and story.

Living Culture – A Journey for the Senses

Culture in Dak Lak isn’t something to observe — it’s something to experience.
Visitors can:

• Watch artisans carve wood or weave traditional cloth.
• Taste Ede rice wine, bamboo-cooked rice, and the world-famous Buon Ma Thuot coffee.
• Join vibrant village festivals filled with gongs, xoang dances, and laughter.

Events like the Buon Ma Thuot Coffee Festival or the Dak Lak Durian Festival are not just celebrations. They are living expressions of pride, joy, and identity.

Community-Based Tourism – Culture You Can Live

Villages like Ako Dhong, Tong Ju, Tri, and Kuop show how culture and tourism can grow together.
Visitors can join locals to pound rice, make rice wine, or weave colorful fabrics. At night, stories of ancient heroes echo by the fire.
These moments create lasting connections — not just memories.

Dak Lak – A Place to Explore, to Love, and to Remember

With its vision of “Connecting Forests and the Sea,” Dak Lak is becoming a cultural and ecological destination.
Every gong beat, every smile, and every festival invites travelers to feel the harmony between people and nature.

Dak Lak isn’t just a stop on the map. It’s a place that stays in your heart.
