Ta Nang – Phan Dung was known as one of the most beautiful trekking routes in VietNam, which was located between 3 provinces Lam Dong – Ninh Thuan – Binh Thuan. I decided to take this trip just 1 week beforehand with zero experience and negative preparation (normally people practice 2 weeks prior). I could finish this trip was mostly thanks to helpful guides and supporting groupmates.
Send my special thanks to all these people and another thank you to Ta Nang – Phan Dung for being so kind to me.
Below are beautiful (and painful) memories I recollected from the trip. Hope that it might inspire you to go on a new adventure as well.
Day 1
First time riding a roofless sports car
We arrived at Ta Nang at around 5:30 in the morning. It was super cold, but we had hot coffee and delicious breakfasts (bún chân giò) at the ‘restaurant’. Then we got to ride on a roofless ‘sports car’ (xe công nông =))). In the car, I learned that in Chu Ru ethnics tradition, a woman will bring a water buffalo to a man’s house to ask for his hand in marriage (it’s mostly the other way around in other cultures), and then the husband will come to live with the wife’s house – ở rể.
After getting off at the starting point, we said goodbye to wifi, and even phone signal for nearly 2 days.
