Kon Tum

A remote region in Vietnam's Central Highlands, Kon Tum is a destination for travelers seeking solace and it is not unusual to plan a trip there and not see any tourist, foreign and local but should not discourage anyone from not going especially if you're into a relaxing ambiance, set on a river and populated with friendly locals.

DESTINATION INFORMATION

A remote region in Vietnam’s Central Highlands, Kon Tum is a destination for travelers seeking solace and it is not unusual to plan a trip there and not see any tourist, foreign and local but should not discourage anyone from not going especially if you’re into a relaxing ambiance, set on a river and populated with friendly locals.

The most interesting thing about Kon Tum is the surrounding ethnic villages with minority groups such as the Sedang, Bahnar, Jarai, Gieh Trieng, and Rengao. There are also a few Christian vestiges located in the area as French missionaries were relatively successful in converting a number of these minorities into Christianity. Some of these sights include the Tan Huong Church, the Wooden or Montagnard Church, the Bahnar Orphanage, and the Catholic Seminary. Other places to visit are the Kon K’Tu Village, the Kon Tum Market, the old airbase Dak To Airstrip, and the Kon Tum Museum.

To get to Kon Tum, the easiest ways are if you’re in the Pleiku area where it’s just 30 minutes away. Buon Me Thuot is 250 km away and one could also take the bus route that plies to Hoi An using the Ho Chi Minh Highway.
