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 125cc — 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.
