Wet season and dry season are Dong Lam’s signature weather. Each season has its own beauty, and you don’t want to miss out on any.
In the dry season (from September to March), the color palette is green, from trees, grass to water. Dong Lam appears so beautiful and poetic in front of your eyes, as if it is a watercolor painting.
During the wet season (from April to August), Dong Lam becomes an ideal place for horseback riding, kayaking, rafting… There is a rafting service to take visitors to the lake for about 250,000 VND/hour (US $10.78), while kayak rental is 50,000 VND/hour.

A special feature in this steppe that many people love is the appearance of horses.
When the sun goes down, horses also quickly run from the small island in the middle of the lake to the mainland, because it is dark and rainy, causing the water to rise, so there may be no way back. Like their instinct to stick with the herb, they gallop in a line, a mighty scene it was! Any lucky tourist who witness the horse running in the sunset cannot help but exclaim: This is a horse paradise!

With a flat terrain, the rich land nourishes the local people here, so they take advantage of the grassland to raise horses and graze to serve tourism and photography activities. Still, the locals encourage tourists to respect the nature and be cautious with their activities so that they do not disturb the neighborhood.
