Mother nature has blessed Dak Lak with beautiful rivers, stunning mountains, scenic valleys, and primeval forests. This unique location is also known for its diverse cultural identities and cuisines.
WHEN TO GO
Dak Lak is located in the center of the Central Highlands, at the headwaters of the Serepok River system. The Ba River basin makes up a significant portion of this region, which has two distinct seasons: the rainy season from May to October, and the dry season from November to April. The average temperature throughout the year is 24 degrees Celsius.
The main coffee flower blooming season is from the end of February to the end of April. Each batch of flowers blossoms for 7-10 days. This distinct flora is prevalent in Vietnam’s Central Highlands provinces of Dak Lak. Depending on the soil, the amount of water, and regional weather patterns, coffee flowers usually bloom about 1-2 weeks after Tet.
Dak Lak is most beautiful around the end of November, once the rainy season has passed. The weather in the first months of the year is often quite pleasant. The end of February and the beginning of March is coffee flower season. April is the season for Bombax Ceiba flowers, and November is wild sunflower season. In the Central Highlands summer, it frequently rains in the late afternoon, but it quickly clears up. Therefore, you should plan most of your outdoor activities in the morning.
