Kon Tum is a small town with the surrounding area dotted with montagnard
villages. The surrounding area was the site of considerable fighting during
the conflict with the Americans, and even now, decaying weapons and shells
abound.
Kon Tum is known for its montagnard villages -- some of them are right on
the edge of town, even within walking distance of your hotel. They received
the lions share of tourists, and are well-accustomed to the routine of
presenting dance and music performances in traditional dress, along with
wine drinking and healthy helping of local hospitality.
Such tours are cheap and worthwhile, as far as they go, especially if you're
pressed for time, on a limited budget, or travelling in a large group. But
further afield, there are over five hundred mountain villages in the
surrounding area, representing eight different ethnic minority groups. Some
of these places require a two- or three-day trek to reach, and have hosted
more western anthropologists over the years than western tourists -- and
precious few of the former at that.
