If you have the opportunity to come to Vietnam’s “coffee capital”, these are 5 destinations you definitely cannot ignore.

This is also a place for you to learn about the life and culture of M’nong people around the lake.

2. Dray Nur waterfall – Tay Nguyen Nature masterpiece

Located about 25km from Buon Ma Thuot, Dray Nur waterfall is considered the most beautiful waterfall in Dak Lak. With a height of over 30m, the waterfall flows white to create a spectacular scene. The sound of the water and the sound of the mountains makes this place an ideal check-in for those who love nature.
