Ms. Pham Ha Anh (22 years old, living in Hanoi) had a memorable 2 days 1 night trip to Pleiku at a surprisingly cheap cost, only about 500,000 VND/person.

Ms. Ha Anh said: “For me, Pleiku is a quite interesting place. The weather here is pleasant, not hot, the roads are spacious, and there are not many places to play, but it is enough for a 2-day-1-night schedule."

She shared that her best friend and she took a direct flight from Hanoi to Pleiku to avoid being tired and save a lot of time. She confirmed that the flight only takes about 1 and a half hours and booking through online applications makes the cost quite reasonable.

One of the things that I like most about Pleiku airport is that all taxis have their prices publicly listed, so there is almost no situation of being "cut off".

Regarding accommodation, Ms. Ha Anh suggests that people can choose to stay in a homestay, which is both beautifully decorated and cheaper than big hotels: "I chose to stay at May Garden - price 250,000 VND/room. The road leading to this homestay has super beautiful pine trees. In the afternoon sunlight, it looks like a fairyland, but if you come home late at night, it will be a bit scary."

To facilitate travel, female tourists rent motorbikes at the homestay for 130,000 VND/day. However, she also notes that tourists should choose and check the car carefully before taking it to avoid choosing a car that is too old or damaged.

"On the occasion when I went to Tan Son dam, the water was dry, so taking photos was not very sparkling. If I went early in the sunshine, it would be more beautiful" - she shared.

One of the destinations that impressed her most in Pleiku was Chu Dang Ya volcano: "The characteristic of the volcano is that there will be surrounding fields that look like carefully woven fabrics, which is extremely eye-catching. Just going around the base of the volcano, there are many beautiful check-in spots."

If you have plenty of time, you can also go to two famous spots: ancient pine trees and tea lake. These two locations are on the same route as the road to Chu Dang Ya volcano, so it is quite convenient.

Ms. Ha Anh said she had the opportunity to taste two specialties in Pleiku: stinky crab vermicelli and Gia Lai dry pho. These dishes are very cheap, only costing less than 30,000 VND. However, visitors should search in advance or ask local people for advice on the best places to eat.

Ms. Ha Anh's total 2 days 1 night trip from Hanoi to Pleiku only cost about 500,000 VND/person, not including round-trip airfare. She thinks this is an ideal cost for a short trip to a unique, interesting place that is not familiar or boring.
