Dung Iar Gieng Ancient Village lies in the heart of the Bidoup national forest – Lac Duong, Lam Dong, which is 33 km away from Da Lat. This village belongs to the Cil people – one of the 5 branches of the K’Ho ethnic minority. They live in isolation from modern society, hence have managed to preserve their culture intact over centuries.
The journey to Dung Iar Gieng Ancient Village will bring you back to a primitive life with no Internet, no telephone, no messaging, no calling to interrupt your precious moments in nature, enabling focussed thoughts and smooth conversations.
Back to this ancient village, you will hear mystic legends about Cil people and experience a peaceful life in the valley…
