The remote and
undiscovered Central Highlands contain some of Vietnamese best-kept
secrets where visitors willing to get off-the-beaten track will discover
pristine lakes, clear rivers, vast swathes of old-growth jungle and
isolated ethnic minority villages.
Volcanic red earth, dramatic green forests and glittering crystal lakes
make this one of Vietnam’s most beautiful and mysterious regions. Along
with wild elephants the area is home to monkeys, tigers and the
endangered Javanese Rhinos. The natives of Ban Don village, 55km
north-west of Buon Ma Thuot, are famous for their elephant-hunting
skills and still trap and train the animals for agricultural work,
transport and for festivals and races.
