When mentioning the Central Highlands, people often think of a pristine land, full of sunshine and wind, with winding, treacherous red dirt roads. However, this land has many interesting things that are enough to attract the footsteps of adventurous and exploratory travelers.
With a fresh and cool climate year-round, especially at the end of the year, the weather in the Central Highlands becomes cooler with plenty of wind, making it very suitable for travelers to embark on their journeys. With its characteristic soil being a vast, fertile red basalt land suitable for cultivating industrial crops, this condition has led to the formation of vast rubber, coffee, and tea plantations. This is also a point that attracts tourists. From November to March each year is the most beautiful and interesting time in the Central Highlands. This is also the dry season, with golden sunshine and favorable conditions for traveling and sightseeing. During this time, nature here seems to change into new colorful outfits. In November, it is the season of bright yellow wild sunflowers blooming along the roads. In December and January, the rubber forests shed their leaves like a beautiful natural painting with patches of natural colors, the leaves turning yellow, then fiery red, and then gently green again. In March, the golden sunshine feels like honey in the cool air, and it is also the season of pure white coffee flowers, floating delicately. These will surely be experiences that enrich the travelers' journey. And don't forget to enjoy the coffee flavors here. Each region has a different type of coffee, with varying flavors and strengths. But all are special and unique. Experience to find the flavor that suits you best. Especially in the Central Highlands, people can drink coffee from morning to night, making coffee drinking a daily habit.
