THE
LANDSCAPE SIGHTSEEING TOUR IN DALAT
|
Dalat
is a quiet town in the south central highlands of Vietnam, about 250
kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City, and is set in a landscape dotted
with lakes and blanketed with pine forested hills. It was first established
as a hill station by the French, and many of the fabulous villas they
built are still here. The cool climate, clean air and escape from
the heat and congestion of Saigon that initially brought the French,
still brings locals from Saigon looking for a cool mountain retreat.
The city is really
only about 100 years old. At an altitude of between 1,500 and 2,000
meters, the cool air and hilly terrain provide the perfect setting
for the adventure sports we love to do. Dalat provides an abundance
of terrain to explore and wealth of opportunities to get off the beaten
path. We offer mountain biking, trekking, canyoning, kayaking, rappelling
and rock climbing trips to everyone from the inexperienced beginner,
to the experienced pro looking for a challenge. We also have extended
adventure itineraries for those looking to head further into the central
highlands, down to the national park in the south, or down to the
coast. Come check us out in Dalat!

Jungle
Fever –2 days, 1 night
Trek the first
day down from Dalat to Tuyen Lam lake. The trail is moderate on the
first day and goes over Pinhatt Mountain through pine forest and ends
at a campsite on the shore of the lake. The second day puts you in
the jungle for the whole day as you trek the west side of the lake.
This moderate trek involves about 4-5 hours of hiking each day.
Day 1:Trekking
Pick up at your
hotel in Dalat. The first section of trail is through minority farms
and pine forest. We continue to walk through forest paths until we
meet the base of Pinhatt. Here you can take a short rest to gain strength
for the steep uphill climb (45 minutes) to the summit of Pinhatt.
After lunch we
descend and you will notice a very dramatic difference in the flora
and fauna. The valley you enter is no longer pine forest, but the
jungle that Vietnam is so famous for. You will emerge on the other
side, at a campsite where you can relax, take a swim or head out into
the lake on one of our kayaks and watch the sun go down.
Day 2:
Start your walk
through pine forest near the lake. Soon there is a dramatic change
in scenery from pine to thick jungle. Walk the rolling hills among
the vines, broad-leaf trees, and enjoy the cool jungle breeze. If
you’re lucky, you may see a wild orchid in bloom or a troop
of wild gibbons. Upon exiting the thick jungle section, you will walk
between Elephant Mountain and another area peak. Enjoy seeing the
small minority farms that dot the valley floor. After lunch and a
rest you continue walking through the valley until you come to a ridgeline,
which you follow to the chicken village.
