Itinerary

You leave Da Lat after meeting your Easy Rider and setting off toward the surrounding countryside. The morning route includes several short stops around Da Lat, such as the Crazy House, a local silk factory, a cricket farm, and Me Linh Coffee Farm, giving you a first look at local industries and daily life beyond the city center.

The ride continues to some of the region’s best-known natural sights. You stop at Elephant Waterfall, visit nearby Linh An Pagoda, and later explore the wide cascades of Pongour Waterfall. These breaks combine easy walks, photo stops, and time to rest off the bike.

Before leaving the Da Lat area, you visit a local family to see how traditional rice crackers are made. It’s a simple, hands-on stop that adds a cultural touch to the journey.

In the afternoon, the landscape becomes quieter and more remote as you ride toward Ta Dung Lake, often called the “Ha Long Bay of the Central Highlands.” Rolling hills and changing scenery lead you to your lakeside area.

You settle in for the night near Ta Dung Lake, surrounded by calm highland views and fresh mountain air.

The day starts with a visit to a local family producing traditional rice wine made with wild bananas. Along the way, you stop at pineapple fields, pepper farms, and a historic church perched on a hill, offering a mix of agriculture and regional history.

You explore a H’Mong ethnic market and pass floating fishing houses, gaining insight into daily life in the Central Highlands. These stops are unhurried and focused on observation rather than crowds.

After a break at a unique hammock café, you continue riding through open highland landscapes toward Lak Lake. The route is relaxed, with time for photos and short rests.

You climb Elephant Rock for views over the surrounding area, then continue through pepper plantations, rubber forests, and cashew farms that define the agricultural landscape of Dak Lak Province.

Before reaching the city, you stop at the impressive Dray Nur Waterfall. The final part of the ride includes visits to a cocoa farm, a noodle-making workshop, and a mushroom farm, highlighting local production before entering Buon Ma Thuot.
