Full Description
Dalat's countryside villages by Easy Rider
Easy Rider is the name for Dalat's local motorbike guides, who take visitors along back roads that big vehicles rarely use. On this tour you sit behind an experienced driver, wear a helmet and follow a route through highland villages, vegetable terraces, flower greenhouses and pine forest. Because you move slowly and without a roof, you notice the smells, the cool air and everyday scenes that are easy to miss from a bus.
Our Dalat Easy Rider tour is relaxed rather than extreme: the driver sets a comfortable speed, stops for photos and explains what you see, from crops to village customs. No riding skill is needed, since you are a passenger, but you should be comfortable sitting on a motorbike for several hours with short breaks.
A hidden waterfall near Dalat
The waterfall on this route is one of the quieter falls in the highlands, reached by a short walk from where the bike stops. Because it sits away from the big coach stops, you can often enjoy the sound of the water and the surrounding forest with few other people around. It is a good place to cool off, take photos and rest your legs.
If you wonder whether a hidden waterfall tour is worth it compared with the famous falls, the answer is that this one trades size for atmosphere. The best time for the strongest flow is the rainy season, from roughly May to November, while the dry months give easier footing. Wear shoes with good grip, as the path to the water can be damp.
Silk village and traditional weaving
Silk making has a long history in the Lam Dong highlands, and the silk village on the route shows the process in a hands-on way. You see how cocoons become thread and how that thread is woven into cloth on traditional looms, and you can ask the workers about the skills involved.
Scarves and fabrics are on display if you want a handmade souvenir, but there is no shopping pressure on this tour. The visit usually lasts under an hour, and it makes a nice link between the countryside riding and the waterfall. Your guide can also point out mulberry fields and explain how the local silk differs from industrial production.
Coffee plantation in the highlands
The Dalat coffee plantation visit completes the day with a look at Central Highlands crops. Dalat's cool air and altitude of about 1,500 metres help the Arabica grow slowly, and your guide describes how the cherries are harvested, dried, roasted and ground.
You can walk between the bushes, enjoy the view across the hills and stop at the cafe, where a drink is paid separately. This part of the day is calm and ideal for resting before the ride back, and roasted beans are on sale if you want some as a souvenir. Entrance fees and food are not included, so bring a little cash.
