Ta Giang is a favorite destination for travel enthusiasts who want to conquer the wild, thorny but soft land, enjoy the fresh air on the steppe and return to the natural mountains and forests to leave behind daily worries.
“Ta Giang grassland has lush green vegetation, crossing many clear and blue streams winding through the forest. If you want to find nature and relax your soul, this is a wise choice,” Nguyen Anh Van (26 years old, Ho Chi Minh City) shared with Travellive.
Ta Giang is also the hometown of the Chapi guitar in the famous song by musician Tran Tien.
Ta Giang is located in Thanh Son commune, Khanh Son district, Khanh Hoa province, about 70 km from Cam Ranh. This is the homeland of the Raglai ethnic group. Another interesting point is that Ta Giang is the homeland of the Chapi instrument in the famous song of musician Tran Tien. During his visit to Ninh Thuan in 1993, when he came to the high mountains in Ninh Son district, the musician met a couple living peacefully in a simple stilt house. All the furniture in the house was made of bamboo, including a musical instrument called Chapi. The passionate love of the couple and the charming sound of the instrument inspired the musician to compose the famous song "Chapi Dream".
This place is endowed by nature with a poetic natural landscape located in the middle of a valley, in the distance are rolling mountains and the sound of a babbling brook.
Away from the city for a day
Unlike the first time we went on a tour of Ta Giang with a tour guide, this time the group decided to trek on their own and Mr. Van was assigned the responsibility of being the group leader. “The trip was more difficult because we had to carry heavy loads, prepare our own food and drinks for the journey and possibly get lost. But what we got in return was a memorable experience, challenging ourselves when we didn’t have the support of the tour company and had to prepare everything ourselves,” Mr. Van confided.
Overcoming the 10km journey to the campsite, the whole group conquered the road surrounded by primeval forest, passing through many fields of Raglai people, lush green banana hills. A peaceful sky, a fresh atmosphere filled with the breath of the mountains and forests that tourists can hardly find in the noisy life of the city.

The specialty of the Ta Giang trekking journey is to cross the rocky streams, the slippery and bumpy road is difficult to go. However, that stream has clear, cool water, you can see fish swimming and pebbles at the bottom. In the middle of the hot summer weather, swimming in the "natural swimming pool" is considered the most interesting experience that the whole group of travelers remember the most during the trip.
In the middle of the vast wilderness is a clear stream running through the forest, surrounded by green hills and mountains, making Ta Giang's landscape both poetic and majestic. A beautiful natural picture covered by the green of trees, the blue of the sky and the turquoise of the streams.

Being immersed in the quiet scenery of the mountains and forests is like a "medicine to heal the soul" helping young people forget the noise, dust of the streets and the worries of everyday life.

Find a peaceful place
After a day of trekking and conquering a long stretch of road, the group had the opportunity to gather, set up tents, light a campfire, enjoy delicious food and chat under the sunset. “There is no phone signal here, so being away from technology is an opportunity for us to talk to each other more,” Van shared.
When the night falls, immerse yourself in the fresh air, breathe in the wind carrying the scent of the mountains and forests, look up at the black sky full of sparkling stars... all create wonderful memories that can only be had when enjoying a peaceful life making friends with nature.
In the early morning, the Ta Giang grasslands seem to be wearing a "new shirt", fresh, bright and full of life.

When the weather in the forest is a bit chilly, the dew drops still linger on each leaf, looking out into the distance to capture the scene of the sun gradually rising to greet the new day is an unforgettable experience.
Giving advice to young people who want to explore the Ta Giang grasslands, Mr. Van shared that training physical fitness before going is something that backpackers need to prepare carefully. Besides, according to him, the right time to travel is from March to July every year. "During this time, Ta Giang has less rain, the roads are less slippery, the water is not big and does not flow quickly," the group leader added.
