Lac Lake, 56 km southwest of Buon Ma Thuot, offers fantastic views. Visitors can cross the lake to nearby villages either in a dugout canoe or on elephants. Home stay with minority people is also a highlight of trips.
Places to stay
When visiting the Lac Lake, you can choose to stay in rattan long house in a peaceful lake setting or in stilt house at the lakeside village of the Ede minority group. In this village, you can take an elephant ride for about three hours around the area.
Travel Tips
Visits at minority villages are a MUST but it is always required a local guide and permits to these spots. Please do not offer money directly to minority people - instead donate to a local charity or offer a small gift, such as pens, toys, etc... And remember to ask for permission before taking photographs in minority areas. Accommodation is in a very basic condition.
