Krông Bông

Krông Bông is a rural district in the Đắk Lắk highlands that covers mountainous terrain and connects several settlements across the region. Communities are scattered throughout the hilly landscape, with infrastructure adapted to the highland environment.

The district developed from traditional settlements of ethnic groups that inhabited Vietnam's Central Highlands for generations. Krông Kmar was established as the administrative center to manage the region.

People here grow cashews, cassava, and pepper rather than the coffee that dominates the surrounding highlands. You can see these crops in the local markets and fields that shape daily life across the district.

The mountainous location means roads wind through the terrain, so travel takes time; visitors should expect longer journeys and changing conditions. Rivers and waterfalls shape the landscape, especially during the rainy season when they swell and may affect access.

The area contains Chư Yang Sin National Park with the highest mountain in the entire province, a peak surrounded by waterfalls and densely forested slopes. Hikers discover alpine landscapes and forest areas here that differ sharply from the flatter lowland terrain.
