In Harmony with Sea and Mountain
The Nha
Trang-Buon Ma Thuot tour enables tourists to discover the beauty of primeval
scenery, spectacular forests and mountains and play interesting beach games
The Buon Ma Thuot-Nha Trang tour operated by Ben Thanh Tourist satisfies the
demands of tourists who like going up mountains and out to sea. First, the tour
takes participants to learn about the culture of the Central Highlands — the
culture of gongs, enjoying ruou can and other specialties prepared by the local
people.
Gongs are a precious cultural heritage of the ethnic minorities of the Central
Highlands, which has been recognized as an oral and intangible masterpiece by
UNESCO. Gongs are considered to be the holiest and most valuable objects in the
minority community. According to a central highland village patriarch, gongs can
help convey a message directly to God and are only used in village festivals.
Heading to Buon Ma Thuot City, tourists will drop by Ako Dhong and Jun villages
to learn about the life of the ethnic people. As a special treat, tourists not
only travel by the usual means but also take an elephant ride. Those who do not
know how to ride an elephant are instructed on how to climb up and sit on the
back of the elephant by the locals. They then ride the elephant around the
nearby villages and visit the eco-forest and Lak Lake, surrounded by diverse
flora and fauna, where kings used to stop when visiting Buon Ma Thuot.
The tour moves on with a visit to Dray Sap Waterfall, the most impressive
waterfall on the Srepok River. The river flows over beautiful rocks. There,
groups of tourists can engage in outdoor activities, team games, or sit on a big
tree-root to view the Srepok River and the imposing scenery of the mountain and
forest.
Then, tourists will head to Nha Trang and visit Tri Nguyen Aquarium, an
underwater world in a model of the Titanic ocean-liner, with various colorful
sea creatures. Notably, tourists can take part in water games such as kayaking,
gliding, diving to enjoy the coral reefs and fishing in the blue seawater, and
frolic in the sea.
In Nha Trang, tourists should not miss visiting the Thap Ba Hot Spring Spa,
soaking in hot mineral water and bathing in mud that contains minerals which
treat complexion and joint diseases.
On the way back, the tour group will visit Long Son Pagoda, a big pagoda among
the 20 in Nha Trang at the foot of Trai Thuy Mountain. The pagoda, housing a
statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, was founded at the end of the 19th century and
renovated in 1940 with a modern architectural and sculptural style. Visits to Tu
Van and San Ho pagodas are also included in the tour.
