Vietnam Lâm Đồng Dalat

Dalat

A picturesque highland city in Vietnam known for its cool climate, colonial-era architecture, and vibrant flower gardens.

Tips from the community

For those who like their adrenaline with a side of cascading waterfall, Dalat is the place and canyoning is the game. During my time in this misty mountain town, adventure tours to the Datanla waterfalls were temporarily suspended due to a recent fatal accident. Keep in mind that cliff diving and navigating slippery rocks is no joke. Now that we’ve covered the safety disclaimers, feel free to take the plunge at your own risk. The experience usually takes a full day and it’s best to arrange with a local company to ensure that you get the proper gear. Unless you’re a pro, it’s unlikely that you’ve packed proper rappelling gear.

You need a jacket for Vietnam? That’s right, Da Lat is the “city of eternal spring” and the temperatures certainly reflect it. This small city is nestled in the mountains of the Lâm Đồng province. Come here for the expansive markets (both food and textiles), stunning waterfalls, and ample canyoning opportunities. It’s a popular holiday town for those who live in Ho Chi Minh City, and far quieter in comparison.
