Đắk Nông

Đắk Nông is a province in the central highlands of Vietnam, stretching between flat plains and forested hills cut by several river courses. The land shifts between open grass fields, dense forest patches, and quiet water surfaces spread across a wide territory.

This territory belonged to a larger northern province until the mid-1970s and became administratively separate after the country's reunification. Its borders shifted several times before settling into their current form.

Many smaller rivers and village names come from M'Nông and Ê Đê languages still spoken across the highland communities. Travelers passing through villages see houses raised on stilts and small markets selling fresh vegetables, coffee, and woven textiles.

The best months to visit fall between November and April when roads stay dry and most paths remain accessible. During the rainy months from May to October some unpaved roads turn muddy and rivers swell.

Some rivers run through narrow gorges with steep rock walls that can only be seen from the water. In Tà Đùng forests grow right down to the edges of large reservoirs where water flows between flooded tree trunks.
