Start :
Meet & cycling briefing

Stop 1 :
Uphill ride & flower village
The first section includes a short uphill climb of about 1.5 km before reaching a traditional flower village. Here, you take a break and see the colorful greenhouses and fields that make Da Lat famous for flowers and fresh produce.
Stop 2 :
Downhill ride to Ta Nung village
From the flower village, enjoy a long downhill ride toward Ta Nung. The route passes quiet rural roads and leads into a K’Ho ethnic minority village, where you get a glimpse of local life away from the city.
Stop 3 :
Coffee plantations & farm tracks
Continue cycling along a scenic single track through coffee plantations and vegetable farms. Along the way, you pass a weasel coffee farm and ride through peaceful countryside before joining a paved road near Ta Nung village.

The ride continues through gentle rolling hills with stops at local workshops, including a cricket farm, a rice wine-making facility, and a silk factory where you can see the full silk-making process from cocoon to thread.
