Experience in the durian capital

A day following the farmer into the garden, visitors will understand the hard work that goes into creating the “king of fruits”. From selecting the breed, tending the soil, pruning the branches to harvesting, everything requires meticulousness. In Ea Knuec, many young people enjoy the experience of cutting the durian themselves, then opening the thorny shell to reveal each thick, fragrant yellow segment.

Ms. Phan Le Bao Ngoc, a tourist from Hanoi , shared: “I have eaten durian in many places, but the taste in Krong Pac has something richer, sweet and fatty without being too greasy. The feeling of eating it right in the garden makes the aftertaste even more unforgettable.”

In the bustling sound of gongs, visitors can enjoy delicious fruit and immerse themselves in the unique cultural space of the Central Highlands. A spiritual spice that is hard to find anywhere else.

Love the red basalt land more

If in the past, many people knew Dak Lak as the capital of coffee, now, durian is creating a new look. This land has opened up experiential journeys associated with agriculture, cuisine and indigenous culture.

Many tourists believe that Dak Lak durian season is like a brilliant picture with the passionate scent, the lush green of the garden, the brocade colors in the village market and the friendly smiles of the farmers. That is the resonance that makes the trip not only sightseeing, but also in harmony with the land and people.

It is no coincidence that Krong Pac is called the durian capital of the country, with nearly 9,000 hectares, producing more than 100,000 tons per year. Harvest time is later than other provinces, so the durian season here lasts until October, a special advantage to attract tourists.

From the village, convoys of container trucks loaded with “golden fruit” spread everywhere. Leaving Krong Pac, on the return journey, many tourists cannot miss a few durians, or choose ripe fruit with segments to put in boxes to bring back as gifts. The distinctive aroma permeates, preserving memories of a vast land that is changing every day.
