Itinerary

• 08:30 We will meet you in Nguyen Van Troi Street, Dalat or we wick pick you up at you Dalat hotel (upon your request) to start our trekking tour. The trailhead starts just south of Dalat and a short 15 minute vehicle transfer. We head up from 1,500 meters in elevation to the ridgeline which meanders between 1,650 and 1,700 meters. The going is steep to begin with and both sides of the trail are dotted with pine trees. The reward for this steep uphill climb is a fantastic view of the town and surrounding area, with stunning views of Langbian Mountain in the north.
• After a brief rest at the lookout spot, we connect with the main ridgeline trail and head into the jungle. There is a noticeable change in the ecosystem, with the canopy above us and hidden birds singing to us as we trek.
• There is a wide variety of flora in this area ranging from towering hard wood trees hundreds of years old to delicate blooming flowers.
• We walk along the ridgeline for about an hour or so, rolling along at whatever pace is comfortable. We stop at a small clearing near the trail junction that breaks downward to the lake below, for a well deserved break and lunch. Dalat is known as the vegetable garden of Vietnam and lunch offers you a chance to try some of the areas tasty produce.
• After lunch, the trail goes downhill gradually and works its way towards the lake at 1,400 meters. This section of trail wanders through broad leaf evergreen almost until the end, before breaking out into a pine forested clearing right on the lakes edge.
• For the average trekker this should prove to be plenty of walking for the day. But for the hard core who are looking to really push themselves, there is the option to continue onward to the summit of Pinhatt Mountain on the other side of the lake. This typically adds about 2.5 hours to the trek. It is mostly through pine forest with a short jungle section and a very steep charge up to the summit itself.
• 14:00 - 16:00 The tour Dalat ends.
