Da Lat in 3 Days by Motorbike: A Ready-Made Itinerary

Day 1. Central Da Lat

• Morning: a ride around Xuan Huong Lake and coffee by the water.
• Afternoon: Crazy House, an unusual gallery-house, then Da Lat's old French-built railway station.
• Evening: the night market by the central market — street food, souvenirs and hot soy milk.

Distances in the center are short, so any bike works for this day, including an electric scooter.

Day 2. Waterfalls, a lake and a monastery

• Morning: Datanla Waterfall south of town — ride the alpine coaster down to the water.
• Afternoon: the cable car from Robin Hill to Truc Lam Monastery and Tuyen Lam Lake.
• Evening: sunset at a café among the pines.

Day 3. Sunrise over the tea hills

• Sunrise: the Cau Dat tea hills — mist over the hills and fresh tea at a plantation café.
• Afternoon: on the way back, the mosaic Linh Phuoc Pagoda in Trai Mat.
• Evening: the Valley of Love or Lang Biang Mountain north of town.

For day three we recommend the Honda Air Blade 125 — it's more confident on long climbs.

Good to know

• Start early: fewer tourists and better light for photos.
• In the rainy season, plan long rides for the first half of the day.
• Leave your bike at paid, guarded parking — it's cheap.
