The Dalanta Waterfall is located about 5 kilometers (3 miles) from Dalat city.  Many travelers enjoy the falls as the water rushes over the rocks

Local legend says the falls offered shelter for local soldiers during the war with the Cham Empire to the west centuries in the past.  The local Kho tribesmen called the falls – “Da-Tam-Nha” (Water under the leaves).  The Vietnamese translation is “Dalanta”.

The hike from the top of the waterfall to the bottom takes 10 – 14 minutes or a 2 seater “roller coaster” ride can carry you down the 1 kilometer trip through the trees in about 2 minutes.   The cliffs of “Death Canyon” offer adventurous travelers a chance to do some rock climbing and the “Fairy Stream” lets more relaxed tourists a chance to enjoy the slower running water.

Dalat Vietnam – The City Of Love, Romance And Flowers

Author: Allison

Dalat is a famous tourist destination in the Central Vietnam with natural beauty and pleasant climate throughout the year. The city is located in the South Central Highlands of Vietnam, praised by the former French colonial as the “valley of love”.

The mild weather in this city is extremely famous. Average temperature is of 18 -20 Celsius degree, capped at 30 and 5 Celsius degree. This favorable clime creates two different seasons, one rainy and one sunny. From May to October, the weather is wet and rainy for days. From November to April the sun shines everyday with a cool, clear weather. Sudden rains during sunny season should be expected, however tourists have no fear for storms as it’s impossible to catch one here.

Choosing an initial visiting place in Dalat can be a difficult task as its beauty spreading wide through the whole town. Generally speaking, Dalat gives tourists the impression of a mix between Vietnam and the French Alps. Most Dalat hotels and houses were built in French style as back then when Vietnam was French colony; this place is considered the relaxing capital for the French officials.

Visitors to Dalat are drawn by rugged sceneries, vivid blue skies, the fresh air, flower-filled parks and the local tasty treatments. It is an ideal destination for weekend outings, family get-away as well as honeymoons.

Another charm of this romantic city is the favorable weather (mild and extremely pleasant), the rugged beauty of nature (with lots of lakes and waterfalls) and the diversity of flowers (roses, hydrangeas, dandelions, orchids,…).

Some unforgettable attractions in Dalat include XuanHuong lake, Dalat flower park, valley of love, Tuyen Lam lake, Prenn and Pongour waterfalls…Tourists can also enjoy the French architecture, the set of flower gardens, the hill-top pagoda or a joyful ride in a land rover up to the top of Lang Biang mountain.

Hotels in Dalat are available at affordable prices for all type of traveling budget, ranging from cheap to luxury ones. A few famous names can be mentioned are Ana Mandara Dalat, Sofitel Dalat Palace, Blue Moon hotel, Novotel Dalat and Dalat Hotel Du Parc.

Let’s spend some times to travel to Dalat to experience the highland coldness in the evening, to take a stroll in the morning under the pine tree forests. The peaceful and charming environment of Dalat will surely dissolve all the troubles and tensions the bustling life and work can bring.

Essential information when you go to South of Da Lat

Author: Kien Nguyen Ba

As you leave town to the south on Highway 20, a slip road to the right leads to the top of Robin Hill, crowned by a huge cable-car terminus. Cable-car rides (daily 7.30–11.30am & 1.30–5pm; 75,000đ return, children 50,000đ) are available here, and offer fantastic views over the pine-clad slopes around the city. The trip takes about twelve minutes to cover the 2km down to Lake Tuyen Lam, a placid and attractive expanse of water. There are a few refreshment kiosks on the shore of the lake, and boat trips ($10–20 per boat) round the lake are also possible. Just beside the cable-car terminal at the lake is Truc Lam Pagoda, a modern, Chinese-style temple that houses a meditation centre. The lake can also be approached by road; look for a turning to the right off Highway 20 about 5km from the centre of Da Lat as you go down the hill.

Just a couple of hundred metres further south is a turning for Datanla Falls (daily 7am–5pm; small entrance fee), signposted on the right of the road as “Thac Datanla”. In Koho, datanla means “water under leaves”, and that pretty much sums up the place: from the car park, it’s a steep fifteen-minute clamber down to the falls, probing some splendidly lush forest. The falls themselves are unthrilling, their muddy waters cascading onto a plateau spanned by a wooden footbridge that provides a hackneyed photo opportunity.

The Prenn Waterfall (daily 6.30am–5.30pm; small entrance fee) is about another 6km down Highway 20 on the left. A major attraction for Vietnamese tourists, the fall sees a convoy of buses roll into its car park, harried by a stampede of cigarette and chewing-gum vendors. Unlike Datanla, the attraction here is the waterfall itself, which thunders (or trickles, depending on the season) over a wide overhang and into a broad pool below. By following the path that circles the pool, you can walk right behind the fall. Surrounding Prenn Waterfall are a host of tacky diversions: mock-up rope bridges and tree houses, souvenir shops and the chance to take a photo with an elephant or camel. If you’re too lazy to walk down the few steps to the base of the falls, you can hop in a cable car for 5000đ. Back up at the car park, the Prenn Restaurant is on hand to cater for hungry visitors, overlooked by a modern, octagonal pagoda.

Chicken Village (ask for Lang Con Ga), 18km south of Da Lat and just west of Highway 20, is just like any other Vietnamese village, apart from the bizarre, five-metre-high cement cockerel that stands proudly on a plinth in the centre, its mouth open in mid-squawk. The local Koho women can be found weaving in many makeshift stalls around. Whether you’re a potential buyer of textiles or not, it’s interesting to take a look at the rudimentary looms that the women need to strap themselves into to operate. It’s also possible to go rambling through the nearby fields and foothills without a permit.

Da Lat is one of the best places to hike in Vietnam besides being a hotspot for honeymooners. You can get a guide to help you for as low as $8/ day. All guides in Vietnam are fluent in English and/or French so getting around should not be a problem at all.

Some of the fantastic places to discover in Da Lat, off the beaten tracks are:

1.    Pongour Falls – one of the largest waterfalls in Da Lat and one of the most beautiful.

2.    Lake of Sorrows – 5km northeast of town on Ho Xuan Huong road, this lake got its name from a tale of two lovers.

Mountain Hiking in Dalat
During the trip to Dalat in Vietnam, my buddy and I had a hiking trip over 3 mountains to reach a small village of ethnic people who plant coffee on hill side. We were invited for a Tet celebration in their house and had mountain home brewed wine. It was absolutely fantastic!
