6. Day 6 DA LAT-Ho Chi Minh city(45km biking)(B,L)
An early morning departure is necessary to get the riding of the trip completed. Dalat was established as a hill resort at the beginning of th last century by homesick French colonials who were attracted to its cool, spring- like weather, pine forests,water falls and lakes. Many reminders of Dalat’s colonial past can be seen in the hundreds of European style villas, chalets and other buildings still standing around town. One fine example is the cream-colored art deco villa that was onec the summer home of vietnam’s last emperor, BAO DAI. Another slightly grander example of Dalat’s colonial architecture is the superbly restored Dalat Palace Hotel overlooking the central Xuan Huong lake. On the opposite side of Xuan Huong Lake is Vietnam first golf course, originally built for Emperor Bao Dai and recently restored, it is now one of the top courses in the region. Apart from its colonial heritage Dalat is known in Vietnam for it market gardens growing, everything from carrots and cauliflowers to avacado and bananas as well as many varieties of flowers. For Vietnamese Dalat means romance, and with attractions like the valley of love it is the destination for choice for local honeymooners. A few kms from Dalat, at the base of Mount Langbian is the village of the Lat ethnic minority from whom Dalat takes its name. The Rugged country around Mount Lang offers some great off road and on road biking opportunities. From Dalat the fertile plateau of the Central High land stretches northwards for hundreds of kilometers.
The ride will be mostly downhill today, enjoy your cycling until lunch time, meet your Van, go for lunch and transfer to Ho Chi Minh city, and don’t forget to try the famous Vietnamese coffee in Bao Loc town.
