Day 6: Lak lake – Dalat (170km)
Lak Lake is a freshwater lake that covers an area of about 6.2 km² and is the largest freshwater lake in the Central Highlands. It is also the second largest natural freshwater lake in Vietnam. This lake is the home of the M’nong ethnic minority. This last day trip offers 165 km of mountain roads with beautiful landscapes, endless coffee plantations, evergreen rice fields and villages of ethnic minority people.
Enjoy local coffee with picturesque lake views then we have a breathtaking drive to Nam Ban district, the second homeland for a big community of immigrants after the Vietnam war, where you have a great opportunity to see how local life is nowadays.
Come to villages, you are welcomed with big smiling faces who share to you about their stories, culture and history. Come to farms, you would enrich your knowledge of each plant that the local people grow here in their fatherland such as coffee, pepper, tea, etc. Stopping by a traditional distillery to taste “happy water” (or Tears of the Nation), you may want to bring home some for your friends. Also, fried crickets and Weasel coffee would be added to your taste experience.
One of the must-visits on this route is the Buddhist pagoda where you admire the 70 meter high Lady Buddha, walk to visit other Buddha with a hope that your wishes will be listened to and will come true.
Elephant waterfall is among the most beautiful waterfalls in the Central Highland and definitely a treat for the eyes and music for the ears.
At a family-run silk factory, you can witness the mesmerizing transformation of silk cocoons into smooth threads. And if you want to buy something from here, just have a look at the showroom for a piece of souvenir for yourself or your beloved ones.
Finally, your accommodation in Da Lat is the last stop where we thank you for your traveling with us, Vietnam Easy Rider Tours, and hope to see you next time.
