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.

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.

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.

Ride through hillside vegetable terraces and highland Moka Bourbon coffee estates before entering the misty cloud forests of Bidoup-Núi Bà National Park. Experience the legendary 30-kilometer descent down the thrilling switchbacks of Khánh Lê Pass, carving past plunging waterfalls as the scenery transforms from alpine pine forests to tropical rainforest, before arriving directly on the golden sands of Nha Trang Beach.
