Overview

Tucked away in Vietnam’s Central Highlands, Daklak Province is where nature, culture, and tranquility blend into an unforgettable experience. This 2-day journey to Dray Sap Waterfall and Lak Lake is designed for travelers who crave authenticity, comfort, and connection — a perfect escape into the heart of Vietnam’s highlands.

Leaving the city of Buon Ma Thuot, your adventure begins with a drive through rolling hills and coffee plantations, where the aroma of freshly roasted beans fills the air. The route leads you to the spectacular Dray Sap and Dray Nur Waterfalls, twin cascades often called the “Niagara of Vietnam.” The power of the water crashing against ancient rocks, the cool mist on your face, and the lush greenery surrounding you create a pure symphony of nature.

As you walk along the winding forest paths, every step reveals a hidden corner of untouched beauty. The Dray Sap Fall, meaning “the Misty Fall,” is famous for its mythical legends and impressive curtain of white water, while Dray Nur, known as “the Wife Fall,” enchants with her elegance and gentle strength. Standing before these mighty waterfalls, you’ll feel both humbled and energized — a moment of awe that words can hardly describe.

After exploring the falls, your journey continues to Lak Lake, the largest natural lake in Daklak. Here, time seems to slow down. The still waters mirror the surrounding mountains and clouds, creating a dreamlike landscape. Glide across the lake by traditional canoe, or enjoy a peaceful elephant ride along the water’s edge as the sun sets.

Stay overnight at a lakeside resort or traditional longhouse, where the cool breeze and sounds of nature lull you to sleep. In the evening, enjoy a cultural dinner with the M’nong ethnic community — sip local wine, listen to traditional gongs, and join the villagers in joyful dances around the fire. It’s an experience that connects you deeply with the spirit of the Central Highlands.

The second day invites you to immerse further in local life. Visit nearby ethnic villages, watch artisans weave fabrics by hand, and learn about the unique traditions of Daklak’s hill tribes. Enjoy a gentle morning walk or a boat ride as the lake glows under the rising sun — a scene of pure serenity and reflection.

This 2-day Daklak tour is not just a trip; it’s a journey of the senses — where you’ll breathe in mountain air, taste local flavors, hear the rhythm of nature, and feel the warmth of highland hospitality. Whether you seek adventure, relaxation, or cultural discovery, Dray Sap and Lak Lake will captivate your heart and leave you with lifelong memories.
