Itinerary
A 37 Km ride and another Dalat classic. This is the most physically challenging of our rides. This ride starts out with a good warm up before pushing through a series of punishing hills. Save yourself for the end on this one.
Fantastic views throughout the ride and a great sampling of the terrain with lakes, pine forest and small country farms.After this single track section we connect into a pine forested valley area to the east of Dalat. This is where the hills start to rise up in front of you. The trail varies between a wider dirt trail and technical single track. This section of the ride has great rolling sections, some very tough hills and steep descents.
After we have pounded out the steepest (but thankfully one of the shortest) hill on the ride, we come to a beautiful clearing that looks out over the forested area to the north of Dalat. We take a well earned rest here to have lunch. Lunch consists of fresh veggies and fruits, baguettes with an assortment of toppings and a French-style pastry to satisfy your sweet tooth. Dalat is known as the vegetable garden of Vietnam and lunch offers you a chance to try some of Dalat’s tasty produce.
After lunch we head out of the forest and back into the beautiful farmland area that sits at the mouth of the valley. We briefly overlap a section of trail ridden earlier and head back to Dalat on sealed road to complete a lopsided, crazy looking figure 8.

About Da Lat
Da Lat is a cool hill city in Vietnam's Central Highlands, a French-built resort of pine forests, flower gardens, lakes and waterfalls.
Da Lat lies on a plateau at about 1,500 metres in the Central Highlands, where the air is cooler than on the coast and pine forests cover the hills. The French developed it as a hill station in the early twentieth century after Alexandre Yersin explored the plateau in 1893, and villas, a railway station and a pink cathedral recall that time. Xuan Huong Lake, an artificial lake in the town centre, is circled by a walking path.
