What you need to know
Located in Dak Lak province, Lien Son Village is home to more than 27,000 people representing 25 ethnic groups. Historically, this land belongs to the M'nong people, famous for their skills in taming wild elephants. Today, the village is undergoing an important transition period, actively implementing the "elephant-friendly tourism" model.
Visitors can see the famous Lak Lake and Lieng Buk Сак waterfall, as well as immerse themselves in the festive atmosphere with traditional gong performances. Local authorities are developing infrastructure, including lakeside trails, to make exploring the ethnic minority lifestyle more comfortable.
The dry season is the most favorable time to visit, as July experiences intense heat.
