The elephant festival features numerous activities such as a ceremony praying for health, a make-up contest, a buffet, and a bathing ceremony for the elephants. This is a new highlight within the Buon Ma Thuot Coffee Festival and offers a lot of interesting experiences for visitors. Elephants are rare animals of the ethnic minority people in Buon Don district and are a symbol of local culture. They appear in many community activities, especially in Krong Na commune, where a herd of elephants lives. The elephant festival contributes to promoting local eco-tourism and culture./. VNA
