Dalat is a wonderful destination if you want to partake in some outdoor activity away from the oppresive heat in other parts of Vietnam. It's mountaneous terrain (and cooler temperatures) make it a great place to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Our raison d'etre for this holiday was to go mountain biking. We organized a trip with Phat Tire Adventures, located in Dalat, to do a one-day mountain biking tour. Our chosen ride was aptly named Hill Billy and consisted of a 6-hour ride on various types of terrain (including paved roads, dirt/gravel roads through minority villages and single track paths through the forest/fields). It definitely lived up to its name. Despite the weather (it poured for 2/3 of the day), it was a very rewarding experience. I would highly recommend mountain biking in Dalat as a way to enjoy the natural beauty of Vietnam. From personal experience, it definitely beats sitting in a tour bus all day....

Dalat is an interesting, busy and lively town with a large market. Close to the hotel is a food night market with a great selection of local food that you do not find in the restaurants that have English menus.
We left Dalat in an open army jeep (with driver and guide) and took a three day trip to Nha Trang through the Central Higlands. Astonishing landscapes, friendly people, great food, tea/cofee plantations, rubber trees.

The trip up to Dalat from HCMC via car was
very dangerous - we saw at least 4 motorcycle accidents in 6 hours. I would suggest flying.

Dalat is physically beautiful. The walk around the lake is a very pleasant two hours with stunning views of semi-rural and French Colonial life. The permanent market (Cho Da Lat building) is excellent for all manner of fresh and preserved local produce. Our favorites were the strawberries and huge cashews.

Dalat is quite pretty but in order to appreciate all there is around effortlessly - trust the vietnamese motorbike guides. We found a couple of charming gentleman who showed us around at very reasonable cost. Names were Mr Titi and Mr Thiet - look out for them.
