Dalat Trekking tours are probably the most popular adventures in Dalat. There's an option for anyone from easy hiking to extreme jungle trekking tours. Whether you are a severe trekker or just want a soft adventure day, whether you travel with your family with kids or with a group of friends, you'll find a suitable trekking tour. It's a great way to discover Dalat's fascinating nature and learn about the culture of local ethnic people in Dalat. During your Dalat trekking tours, you will have many options:

  • Hiking to Tiger falls through the forest, by Lang Bian River via suspension bridges
  • Samson Mountain trekking for a panoramic view of Dalat and Tuyen Lam Lake
  • Trekking through the lush jungle to Elephant Mountain

1. Tiger Falls Trekking tour

The first option is hiking to the Tiger Falls. The Tiger Falls is about three kilometers to the East from the residential area. The fall has the height at 50 meters and stretching along the 100-meter stream surrounded by pine forests, tropical jungles, and hilly landscapes. Tiger fall is an excellent option for the hardened trekkers as a full-day tour from Dalat, one of the most popular small group tours available in town.

Tiger Waterfall attracts tourists by its pristine natural beauty. You will start your journey by hiking through the steep-sided pine forest trail and down to the Lang Bian River. The nearer you are to the fall, the more sound from water falling and birds singing you will hear. You will find yourself pleasant and refreshing.

After relaxing and swimming in the waterfall, you will continue your day by walking near the river. Then, you will cross charming suspension bridges and the pine forests to the village of the ethnic minorities. You will have a chance to learn about the life of the local K'ho minority tribes here and the way they plant and care for their coffee farms.

Tiger Falls is a full day hard trekking tour that covers at least 6 hours trekking, with a challenging level 8 out of 10. Let's start your day with this less-visited area of Dalat and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere.

2. Samson Mountain peak trekking tour

The second excellent trekking tour is trekking to Samson Mountain peak. The peak of the mountain is 1700 meters above sea level. From the summit, you can admire a panoramic view of Lang Biang Mountain in the North. It's a long half-day tour that starts at 8 in the morning and ends by 2h30 in the afternoon. The journey is doable for everyone, with roughly 4-hour easy to moderate hiking (level 5 out of 10), which offers a fantastic view of Lang Biang mountains and valleys. There's also a chance to enjoy the wildness swim in a less-known lake in the jungle.

You will start hiking through the pine forests, sightseeing the pine's vast green, stretching along the way. After taking a rest at the lookout spot, you will continue going through the forest area with rich vegetable. You will see a diverse type of flora and fauna along the way, from towering hard-wood trees hundreds of years old to delicate blooming flowers.

Your day will end with breaking, swimming in the lake, then driving back to the city center.

3. Elephant Mountain and Chicken village trekking tour

Another wonderful trekking tour that we highly recommend is a full day trekking tour through the lush jungle to Elephant Mountain. This full-day trekking tour offers a 5 hours intermediate trekking (level 7 out of 10) through the primary forest's canopy up to Elephant Mountain, where you can enjoy a magnificent view of Dalat surroundings.

The Elephant Mountain is 15 kilometers from the Dalat city center. The trekking tour starts at the scenic Tuyen Lam lake. Trekking to the peak of the mountain, you will pass through broadleaf evergreen ecology and pine forest. The trekking trail will end at the infamous Chicken Village. The Chicken village of Darahoa is famous for the statue of a nine-spur rooster, standing in the middle of the village's yard. It is the place of residence of K'ho and Chill ethnic groups. As you walk through the village, you can admire the wildlife and learn about the traditional brocade weaving of ethnic people. It's time to start your journey, and do not forget to bring your hat, sunscreen, repellent, camera, comfortable walking shoes such as sports shoes or hiking boots.
