Once past the Plei Ku Hotel
and out of town, Le Loi probes the coffee, tea and rice crops that hem
the road to Kon Tum. A right turning 7km north of town will take you
after just 500m to Bien Ho, a volcanic lake which is also the
town's reservoir; it's pretty enough viewed from the observation point,
but doesn't warrant much more than a five-minute stop. About 16km north
of Plei Ku, a left turn leads through some pretty countryside and some Jarai villages and continues for 23km to the hydroelectric dam at Ialy.
Morning
: 8:00 transfer to YaChim commune (20 km) for visiting the villages of
the JaRai people such as: PleiXa, PleiWeh and PleiBua and sight seeing
Yaly lake. Back to Kon Tum for lunch.
Afternoon
: 14:00 visit the villages of the BahNar people: KonTumKoNam,
KonTumKoPong and KonRoWang. Then visit the Wooden church, Seminary. O/N
at hotel.
