Ham Rong mountain

Ham Rong Mountain is a place famous for its wild but equally majestic natural scenery. From a distance, Ham Rong mountain has a very special shape, like a giant funnel. The ancients still believed that the shape was created by the impact of volcanoes, concave deep below, the outer slope is gentler than the inner slope. Although there are no ponds or lakes on the mountain, the trees here are always lush all year round. Legend has it that Ham Rong mountain in Gia Lai is associated with the love history of the Central Highlands of Ro Lan Ly and Chu Hdrong. Legend has it that, Ro Lan Ly was a poor boy but very industrious and hardworking. He has a talent for playing the goong, which is famous throughout the region. The young man made a wish with the beautiful Chu Hdrong (daughter of the chief in the region). One day disaster struck, the evil uncle Ro Mah Hem forced Chu Hdrong to be his wife and shot her dead. The boy was extremely distressed, carrying the girl's body towards the horizon. Later that place rose up Chu Hdrong mountain, which is Ham Rong mountain today to commemorate that beautiful but tragic love.

To reach the top of Ham Rong mountain, visitors just need to follow the small road from Ham Rong fork, visitors will go about 200m to the beautiful Fern beach. Go a little further to reach the top of Ham Rong mountain. Because the road is quite zigzag, visitors should be careful.

At an altitude of over 1000m above sea level, visitors will enjoy the fresh air and see first-hand the gardens of coffee, tea, rubber, pepper, etc., mixed with the mist. If you come here in the morning, when the fog is still hanging on the trees, you will get the most fanciful photos.
