Đắk Lắk, Province in Central Highlands, Vietnam.
Đắk Lắk is a province in the central highlands of Vietnam, combining mountains, forests and wide plateaus. The area covers hills of volcanic origin and plains used for coffee and pepper cultivation.
The territory shifted from Champa Kingdom rule to Vietnamese administration during the 15th century. French colonists later established plantations and introduced new farming methods to the region.
Inhabitants grow coffee and tend pepper gardens, while many villages preserve their traditional longhouses made of wood and bamboo. Local markets offer fresh spices, handwoven textiles and baskets crafted using inherited techniques.
The capital Buon Ma Thuot sits centrally and links fourteen districts through a wide road network. Travelers find accommodation, restaurants and transport options in the city, which serves as a starting point for trips into surrounding areas.
The area produces large quantities of coffee beans and uses the elevated terrain along with its particular climate for growing high-quality plants. Visitors can explore plantations and watch the roasting process at small local facilities.
