Keng is known as a dining and camping complex located in So Lang, below Mimosa Pass with an area of 1,000 m2.2. About 7 km from the center of Da Lat city, coming to Keng you will feel like leaving the city to a vast green grassland on the hillside. It seems that in Keng everything becomes slower and more peaceful compared to the pace of life in the city out there.
Keng has an airy space when it is located under a hill and next to a small stream. The areas of Keng are not separated from each other so visitors will be free to explore and check-in comfortably.

The complex is located in a large valley, next to a small stream, making visitors blend into the peaceful life in Keng.
This place also gives you the experience of a rustic and peaceful countryside when visitors can visit vegetable gardens, chicken coops, stream banks, archery and overnight camping... Therefore, Keng is a suitable destination for visitors of all ages to freely explore.
Nguyen Hoang Thao Nguyen, Co-founder of Keng Da Lat shared with Travellive: "Currently in Da Lat, there are many complexes with the same model as Keng. Although there are different variations, many parties still follow the check-in trend, some places even aim to be event venues. At Keng, development will be based on the connection between people and nature. Families coming to Keng will have a priority value: connecting parents and children, experiencing meaningful activities to interact between members with each other."
Temporarily leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life to be with nature, listen to the sound of flowing streams and rustling pine trees.
Explaining the name, Thao Nguyen said: "The name Keng reminds us of the call for villagers to gather before each event announced in the village. Keng was born with the image of a place that connects people together. It can also be understood that visitors to Keng will think about eating, drinking, having fun, relaxing, and interacting with each other more."
Accommodation in Keng includes camping on the hill or camping by the stream in a modern resort style. If you like peace and new experiences, want to immerse yourself in nature but basic camping makes you worried and hesitant because of the lack of amenities, Keng is the ideal destination for you.

The most convenient thing when coming to Keng is when guests come to check in but it is not yet time to check in, they can go to the coffee shop to relax, rest and have lunch first. Then leave the dining area to check in nearby.
The culinary area at Keng will have typical dishes of the Central Highlands such as: grilled chicken with bamboo rice, banana flower salad, whole grilled snakehead fish with banana leaf rice, crispy fried snakehead fish with tamarind sauce... with rich, unique flavors.

In addition to enjoying food, drinks, and camping in the mountains and forests, when coming to Keng, visitors will experience many rustic activities, close to nature, that only the suburbs have.
At Keng, there are interesting activities for children to experience and touch nature such as: harvesting strawberry and macadamia gardens, swinging up the hill, fishing, archery, wading in streams, sitting on the porch drawing pictures or visiting the wine cellar... As for adults, they will experience activities such as: outdoor parties, gathering around a campfire, opening a movie theater in the forest...
If Keng is considered a "family park", it is not wrong. It would be great if the whole family slept together in tents on the hill or next to the stream. Parents will light a fire, grill food, and children who are old enough will know how to clean up and help. The scene of gathering around the campfire and watching movies is warm and happy, helping family members get closer together.

"Currently, Da Lat is gradually becoming concrete. We really just want to bring an original Da Lat with nature, trees and environmental protection... People are gradually following the trend, building many areas or miniature landscapes for check-in, losing the uniqueness of Da Lat. Therefore, I hope Keng will bring as many experiences between nature and people as possible, a beautiful image of Da Lat in the eyes of tourists, not in the direction of commercialization," Thao Nguyen said.
Arriving at Keng, you will temporarily leave behind the hustle and bustle of daily life to immerse yourself in the nature of the mountains and forests, listen to the sound of flowing streams, rustling pine trees, immerse yourself in the late afternoon sunset and wait for the dawn to awaken.
