4 Stops

Day 1

Saigon → Rubber Forests → Cu Chi War Tunnels → Đồng Xoài (140 km)

Depart Saigon along peaceful rural backroads. Cruise beneath cathedral-like canopies of towering rubber plantations and fragrant curry/achiote groves. Spend the afternoon exploring the historic Cu Chi Tunnels — the astonishing 200km underground network of living quarters, command posts, and booby traps that shaped the Vietnam War. Continue north into Đồng Xoài, the historic southern starting terminus of the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

💡 Insidertip: Wear comfortable walking clothes for exploring the Cu Chi tunnel complex.

Day 2

Đồng Xoài → Bamboo Villages → Cashew Nut Capital → Bảo Lộc (160 km)

Ride through rolling red-basalt hills of cashew and black pepper orchards. Stop at traditional bamboo weaving communities, taste tropical fruits at roadside farms, and tour local cashew nut processing facilities. Ascend into the cooler foothills of the Central Highlands, arriving in the lush green tea capital of Bảo Lộc for an overnight stay.

Day 3

Bảo Lộc → Dambri Waterfall → K'Ho Tribal Village → Di Linh (80 km)

Explore the expansive, rolling emerald tea estates of Bảo Lộc — the largest tea 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 farms, and ride tranquil country lanes into the peaceful highland plateau town of Di Linh.

💡 Insidertip: Take the path behind Dambri waterfall for an incredible mist-shrouded view.

Day 4

Di Linh → Pongour 7-Tiered Waterfall → Elephant Falls & Silk Mill → Đà Lạt (160 km)

Marvel at the majestic Pongour Waterfall — a breathtaking 7-tiered amphitheater of cascading water. Ride through mountain backroads visiting silk worm farms, traditional silk weaving mills, and family rice wine distilleries. Scramble down the canyon gorge of Elephant Waterfall (Thác Voi) and stand in awe before the 71m Lady Buddha at Linh Ẩn Pagoda before climbing the curves of Tà Nung Pass into alpine Đà Lạt.

💡 Insidertip: Bring water shoes or grip sandals for walking the stepped terraces of Pongour.
