This is my first post about Buon Me Thuot, If you have a chance, please take a look and enjoy my places which are introduced in my post.
1. How can you get to "Troh Bu" from The centre of city
Troh Bu Botanic Garden is located in Buon Nieng, Ea Nuol commune, Buon Don district, more than 10 km from Buon Ma Thuot to the west along Nguyen Thi Dinh street (provincial road 1) to Buon Don. This is a private botanical garden, built with the main goal of preserving the natural forest orchids of Vietnam in the highlands.
Thus, it takes you within 30 minutes to ride motorbike. But because the way is quite bumpy and difficult to find, you may have to ask the people living nearby for further instructions. I think it's the best way instead of looking at google map as it may lead you the wrong way (I used to get lost when I got there hehee so just a bit my experience for you).
2. How much for entry ticket
When you get there, on the right hand side there will be a small hut to sell tickets, you can go there to buy your own ticket.
Tickets to visit Troh Bu Botanic Garden are quite cheap, extremely suitable for the pocket of tourists. Ticket price for adults is 30000 VND/person ($1,3) and ticket price for children under 1m4 is 15000 VND/child ($0.7). Just for a fee, visitors can explore Troh Bu all day.
3. How do you know about "Troh Bu Botanic Garden"
Troh Bu is a name that carries many legends that any Dak Lak people also know. In the past, prolonged drought made farming and production activities of the people extremely difficult. The people in the village have to work together to find water sources in the deep stream bed to sustain life. They have to go deep into the forest to hunt wild animals and dig up potatoes, corn and cassava to eat.
Suddenly, one day, in front of their eyes was a lush green area, a forest full of life appeared in their eyes. In the late afternoon, they suddenly discovered a small stream with a lot of fish living. In the days that followed, their hunger was also satisfied, and their thirst was no more. They feel satisfied with the life they have found and have no intention of leaving. Day by day, their life gradually improved, they did not want to return to their former drought village anymore.
4. What activistes should you try in Troh Bu Garden
In the Ede language, Troh Bu means "snake fish valley". This place, although only appeared recently, has quickly created a great fever in the travel community.
"I'm a giant bird in a nest on a tree branch" hehe 😁
There are a lot of giant trees here, you can stop to rest if you've been walking around
Although the reserve has an area of up to 20,000m2, when you go inside, don't worry that you will get lost. There is already a signboard near the entrance, there will also be other signs in each area, so you can have fun with peace of mind! Every corner of the Troh Bu has its own unique beauty, so your job is just to pose so that it's "deep", so "cool", the rest is for your best friend to take care of!! Hehe🤣
