Lak lake
This beautiful spot is awakening to tourism. offering authentic
experiences of hill-tribe life, along with increasingly comfortable
accommodation choices. Lak Lake (Ho Lak) covers 600 hectares in the
rainy season, but shrinks to 400 hectares surrounded by rice paddies in
the dry. It was once full of crocodiles, but these have long since found
their fate as shoes, handbags and taxidermied monstrosities, Located on
the mountainous road between
Dalat (154km southeast) and
Buon Ma Thuot
(50km north), the surrounding countryside is stunning. Emperor Bao Dai
must have thought so, as he built yet another of his palaces (is anyone
keeping count) overlooking the lake. On the south shores, near the town
of Lien Son, Jun Village reveals an enigmatic slice of traditional
M'nong life. The rattan and wood houses are all built on stilts, which
was a way of keeping the animals out. Pigs, cows and chickens wander
around at will, and you'll see the odd elephant being ridden around. The
villagers go about their daily lives quite uninterested in the tourists
in their midst. If you're interested in staying overnight, in the heart
of the village, can organise a mattress in one of several traditional
stilt longhouses, as well as gong concerts, elephant rides, and kayaking
or walking tours.
