Bathing Tour Mang Den Forest
Kon Tum
Forest bathing as a medicine, food for the spirit. How far, fast or slow is not something to be achieved. We do not aim to find or expect anything, but simply be in harmony with nature. Bathing in the forest is not to achieve anything, bathing in the forest to get rid of the sorrows and pain in the heart, but it is the removal of a few things that help us achieve more good things.

Bamboo shoots in Buk - Kon Tum during the golden rice season

Mang Buk with its long stretches of fields, appears like a beautiful picture among the vast mountains and forests of the Central Highlands. When the ripe yellow rice is heavy, the village seems to be dyed yellow by the autumn sun. This scene not only captivates people's hearts but also is a testament to the diligence and hard work of the people here. One of the most characteristic and unique features of Mang Buk is the traditional rice harvesting method. Unlike many other places, people here still keep the habit of harvesting rice with sickles, not using machinery. The image of people pulling each other into the field, holding sickles, and diligently cutting rice makes everyone who witnesses feel the community cohesion, love for the field and pride in farming. For the people of Mang Buk, harvesting rice by hand is also an opportunity for everyone to enjoy relaxing moments in nature, immersing themselves in the fresh air of the countryside. The sound of laughter and sickle cutting rice resounded bustling, creating a lively country music, full of vitality. The harvest season is not only the harvest season but also the festival season, the season of cohesive village love. Coming to Mang Buk in the ripe rice season, visitors can not only admire the beautiful natural scenery but also have the opportunity to experience the life of a real farmer.  You can try harvesting rice, sit and rest under the shade of trees with the people, listen to everyday but inspiring stories. Those will be unforgettable memories, moments that help you understand more about the value of labor and humanity. The children also went to the field to hug the bundles of rice to help adults in harvesting.  The golden season in Mang Buk has become an attractive moment attracting tourists to visit and experience farm life. Mang Buk in the ripe rice season is not only an ideal destination for those who love the beauty of wild nature, but also a place to find peace, cohesion and understand more about the life of the highland people.
