Hi @Aruni

I came here in December 2018, can come here easily by motorbike or by car from Ho Chi Minh City to about 250km, or from Dalat to about 50km.

Hi @Aruni

Coming here mainly for sightseeing, those who like to take pictures are very interested in this place. On the full moon in January, there are traditional festivals of the K’Ho people.

Hi @DoanNT

Wow, sound interesting. Do every year they have this traditional festival? Is this something traditional for the people in your country?

Is this traditional festival famous among tourists? Can you add more details to it? I think it will be interesting for other Local Guides.

Terribly heavenly place @DoanNT !
Thanks for sharing it with us!

Hi @Aruni

The K’Ho people are a minority of ethnic minorities who often live in the mountains of Lam Dong, Vietnam.
This Pongour festival is a festival of K’Ho people who are a minority in the Vietnamese community.
Unfortunately, I have never attended, or witnessed this festival … and honestly, I don’t like festivals very much, even the festivals of authentic Vietnamese people.
