TÀ ĐÙNG LAKE · BON KON HAO · ĐRAY SÁP FALLS
Land of the M’nông people, home to a UNESCO Global Geopark, Tà Đùng Lake with more than 30 islands, and waterfalls pouring over basalt rock.
ABOUT
Đắk Nông is Chi Bu Trip’s home. Bon Kon Hao in Đắk Ha commune, where teacher H’Brông runs language classes for children, is a stop on most of our journeys.
In 2020, UNESCO recognised Đắk Nông as a Global Geopark, with the longest system of volcanic caves in Southeast Asia. The forests, waterfalls and lakes here are still wild, with few large tour groups.
01
Known as “Hạ Long Bay in the great forest”. Take a boat between the islands and camp out to watch the sunrise.
02
Sleep in a stilt house with a M’nông family, cook bamboo-tube rice and listen to gongs by the campfire.
03
A majestic cluster of waterfalls on the Sêrêpôk River; in the rainy season the spray rises like white smoke.
04
Lava caves tens of thousands of years old, explored in small groups led by forest rangers.
BEST TIME TO VISIT
November – April (dry season, when forest trails are easier). The waterfalls are at their best in the rainy season, June – September.
