Buon Ma Thuot - Gia Nghia
Distance: 231 kms
This is an area largely overlooked by westerners and tourists in general. Like a lot of the far North West, we get some funny looks here. Like all remote areas though, the country people are so friendly and hospitable.
The higher country in the South is largely overlooked because the South has by far the best coast rides. This in a multi day loop adds to a sensational and very diverse experience.
(A &B)Â These waterfalls are the smaller of the two in this river area. Well worth the 30km diversion in wet season though. You might choose to drop them in the dry season.Â
(C) Don’t miss this waterfall though. Only a short diversion and has coffee and food if you choose to get away early and make it the breakfast stop.Â
(D)Â Plenty of accommodation and restaurants around this the most populated of the four lakes for the day. Elephant rides around this lake area also if interested.Â
(E)Â A hydro dam wall retaining the third of todays lakes. Its around a 12km diversion so if time is your friend especially if you travel with a drone.
(H) The biggest lake by far for today. This natural lake covers over 80 hectares and and is surrounded with an abundance of flora and fauna. A place the nature lover could spend days to explore.
(I) A very unique accommodation with a number of options. My first night here a very memorable night with some great mates many years ago so became a favourite in the area.Â
