It is about 30km northeast of Pleiku City center in Ploi Iagri Village, Chu Dang Ya Commune, Chu Pah District, Gia Lai Province.

The perfect time to visit Chu Dang Ya is from October to February. Since this is the dry season of the Central Highlands of Vietnam, the weather is favorable for trips and outdoor activities. Especially in November, there are wild sunflowers blooming brilliantly all over the roads and on the slopes of Chu Dang Ya Volcano.

Lak Lake

Lak Lake is a well-known tourist destination in the Central Highlands because it is the largest freshwater lake in Dak Lak Province. The lake is surrounded by the vast virgin forests which make this place a tourist destination in Vietnam that gives visitors relaxation and the feeling of being tiny before the majestic and mysterious nature.

Tourists will be extremely impressed by the untouched beauty of the large lake and virgin forests. The harmony in beauty of mountains, forests, trees and lakes creates the best picture of nature.

Dry season (from October to the end of March) is the most suitable time to visit the lake.

Mang Den Eco-tourism Area

Mang Den Eco-tourism Area is located in Mang Den Village, Kon Plong District, Kon Tum Province. This place is a plateau of the Truong Son Range with cool, humid and cold climate all year round including 9 months of rain and 3 months of dry.

Mang Den Eco-tourism Area is an attractive destination in the trip to the Central Highlands of Vietnam because anyone who comes here will be reminded by the impressive beauty of this ecotourism area, which comes from the crooked roads, the bright red patches of the sunset, the brilliant sunshine and the beautiful tiny roofs hidden in the smog.

Therefore, tourists coming here often compare this place to a new Da Lat - a gentler and quieter Da Lat. If Da Lat City has Datanla Waterfall or Dambri Waterfall, Mang Den Ecotourism Area also has Pa Sy Waterfall - a waterfall with fragile beauty in the wild and quiet atmosphere of Mang Den.
