Departing from Pleiku City, this enriching day trip takes you 45 kilometers into the heart of the Central Highlands to Plei Kep Village — a hidden gem steeped in the vibrant traditions of the Jrai people. Prepare for a cultural journey like no other, filled with authentic experiences and unforgettable memories.

Your adventure begins at a traditional Jrai tombhouse, where you’ll explore the sacred spiritual beliefs of the community. Learn about the Po Thi Festival — an ancient and deeply meaningful ritual that honors the departed. Rarely practiced today, Plei Kep is one of the few remaining places where this ceremony still takes place, offering you a rare glimpse into this powerful cultural tradition.

Next, step into the world of brocade weaving, a cherished art form passed down through generations. Try your hand at weaving your own piece of colorful fabric and appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship and creativity that define Jrai textile art.

The experience continues with an introduction to loofah fiber crafting, where you’ll use natural materials to make water gourds — a vital part of everyday life for the Jrai people. This hands-on activity showcases the community’s ingenuity and eco-conscious lifestyle.

Join the village women on a water-gathering ritual at a sacred spring — a simple yet profound tradition that reflects the Jrai’s deep respect for nature and communal harmony.

Then, enjoy the lively, rhythmic process of rice pounding, and try basket weaving, a timeless skill that blends practicality with artistic flair. These interactive activities provide a window into the daily life and resilience of the local people.

For culinary enthusiasts, the tour offers an opportunity to explore the rich flavors of Central Highlands cuisine. Guided by local cooks, you’ll help prepare traditional dishes like rice cakes, roasted chicken, grilled river fish, skewered meats, and herbal forest soups. Afterward, sit down to enjoy a rustic, home-cooked meal — a feast that captures the essence of the land and its people.

As the day draws to a close, you’ll return to Pleiku City with a heart full of stories, a deeper connection to the spirit of the Central Highlands, and a newfound appreciation for the enduring traditions of the Jrai people.
