Day 1

Đà Lạt → Elephant Waterfall & Silk Mill → Pongour Waterfall → Di Linh (110 km)

Depart Đà Lạt along scenic countryside roads. Stop at local flower greenhouses, family rice wine distilleries, and a traditional silk weaving mill. Scramble down the canyon gorge of Elephant Waterfall (Thác Voi) and stand in awe before the 71m Lady Buddha at Linh Ẩn Pagoda. Taste authentic highland weasel and robusta coffee on a local farm. Marvel at the colossal 7-tiered stepped cascades of Pongour Waterfall before riding into the peaceful highland plateau town of Di Linh for an overnight stay.

💡 Insider-Tipp: Bring water shoes or grip sandals for walking safely along the stepped rock terraces of Pongour.
Day 2

Di Linh → Rolling Tea Estates → Dambri Waterfall → K'Ho Village → Bảo Lộc (80 km)

Explore the expansive, rolling emerald tea estates of Bảo Lộc — the largest tea-growing region in Southern Vietnam. Hike down through rainforest mist to the thundering 70-meter Dambri Waterfall. Meet K'Ho indigenous weavers in their mountain village, visit flourishing passion fruit and coffee orchards, and enjoy a highland barbecue dinner in Bảo Lộc.

Cruise along peaceful country roads beneath towering canopies of rubber trees and achiote (curry) farms.

Bến Tre → Hand-Rowed Sampan Canals → Coconut Crafts → Trà Vinh / Sóc Trăng (140 km)
