The remote and
undiscovered Central Highlands contain some of Vietnamese best-kept
secrets where visitors willing to get off-the-beaten track will discover
pristine lakes, clear rivers, vast swathes of old-growth jungle and
isolated ethnic minority villages. Volcanic red earth, dramatic
green forests and glittering crystal lakes make this one of Vietnam�s
most beautiful and mysterious regions. Along with wild elephants the
area is home to monkeys, tigers and the endangered Javanese Rhinos. The
natives of Ban Don village, 55km north-west of Buon Ma Thuot, are famous
for their elephant-hunting skills and still trap and train the animals
for agricultural work, transport and for festivals and races.
