Lying on a series of contiguous plateaus up to the height of 500-800m, the Central Highlands region consists of Dak Lak, Gia Lai, Kon Tum, Dak Nong and Lam Dong provinces. These localities are rich in biodiversity with primeval forests, valleys and fantastic scenery in mild climate all year-round.
The Central Highlands cultural space boasts hundreds of cultural, art and architecture identities, enabling the development of a range of ecological, resort, religious, cultural and adventure tours.
