Dalat has some of the best mountain bikings in Asia, if not the world. The climate is perfect. The trails are challenging and scenic. And the equipment that we provide lets you enjoy the ride without having to haul your gear all the way from home to Vietnam. We have everything from moderate 1 day rides to challenging multi-day trips. Have a look at our offerings to see which ride best suits your ability level and riding style.

This ride probably offers the best sampling of single track downhill riding in the Dalat area. The total ride distance is about 30 kilometers and it is the easiest of our rides. Views are outstanding throughout with beautiful pine forested hills, Dankia Lake and picturesque small farms dotting the valleys you ride through.

You are in hill country - there is no doubt about it! Your legs will feel the burn after this ride North of Dalat. Breathtaking views of fields, forests and mountains. Semi-technical and strenuous over dirt and single track trails. Both short and long variations of this route are available. Expect 2-3 hours of riding on short rides and 3-5 hours or riding on long rides.

This 33 kilometer ride is another Dalat classic. It's right in between Northern Exposure and Hill Billy in terms of difficulty. Save yourself on this one as it starts out flat but ends with some daunting hills. There are fantastic views throughout this ride and a great sampling of the terrain with lakes, pine forest, small country farms and a remote Chil minority village (Sieng). Lots of great single track and 3.5 + hours riding time.

This ride is as good as it gets, but it is also the most difficult of the Dalat trails we offer. The off road section is 20 kilometers of single track with fantastic downhill sections and truly brutal uphill climbs  This one is not for the weak hearted. Bikers need to be in good shape and of intermediate mountain biking ability at least. The total ride covers about 30 kilometers.  A great ride for those looking to see a spectacular side of the country nobody else ventures into.

 

This journey to Nha Trang starts with a 45 minute transfer 33 kilometers to the north east of Dalat on a new road and through the newest national park in Vietnam (Bidoup Nui Ba). It offers fantastic cycling in the highlands as well as down a 28 kilometer pass to the lowlands. This downhill section is continuous ~ no joke.

The first section of the ride starts in pine forest and rolls through the hills with beautiful views of farms, countryside and Nui Ba Mountain. There is one final 3 kilometer climb to the top of the pass before some serious downhill. The 28 kilometer, uninterrupted downhill section is the longest section of downhill we offer. And the longest we have been able to find.

After reaching the bottom of the pass we meet Shamrock Rafting (our partners in this trip) and climb off the bikes and into the inflatable 2 man kayaks, purpose made for the kinds of rapids we encounter on the Cai River. This river forms from the many tributaries flowing out of the mountains we have just ridden down. We float down the river for a half an hour or so before stopping off at a small farm for a barbecue lunch and rest.

After lunch we jump back into the boats and tackle a couple more sections of rapids, enjoy the fantastic scenery, and float our way closer to Nha Trang. At the end of the rafting we climb out of the river and into our vehicle for a short 40 minute ride to the city center. The total riding distance is customizable with about 60 km being the norm. The rafting section is about 10 kilometers.

1 Day Trip

(Option 1 - Bike to Mui Ne)

You will get over 900 meters of descent on this 90+ km ride to Mui Ne as you wind through pine and jungle forested valleys into the tropical climate below. Our support vehicle takes you from Dalat to Di Linh (75 km) where we start the ride down to Mui Ne. The ride goes through small minority villages and jungle forested valleys to the beautiful beaches below. The first section of riding is through coffee plantations and forest and includes a 5 kilometer uphill climb to get you warmed up. This is followed by plenty of down hill and rolling sections. A final long downhill pass is completed before the road flattens out with a long cruise to Highway 1, where the ride ends and our vehicle transports us the rest of the way to Mui Ne (usually 30 minutes). The road is mostly paved (sealed) secondary and the support vehicle is used to transport all luggage and provisions for lunch and refreshment. The ride is also customizable in length, as the support vehicle can be used at any time by tired riders.
