Questions & Answers
When and how to get to Dalat?
- When to visit Dalat:
As Dalat is an interesting city for its natural side and sports activities, whether hiking, mountain biking, canyoning or other, it is more pleasant to go during the sunny period. Thus, we recommend avoiding the period from May to October for lovers of outdoor activities.
For a cultural visit of the city, the period matters less and therefore you can enjoy its freshness throughout the year, providing a good raincoat during the rainy months.
- How to get there:
From the South, from Ho Chi Minh, there are direct flights. Alternatively, you can also make the journey by land by car or bus, during a journey of about 8 hours. If you choose to go by land, we strongly advise you to take a break for one or two nights at Nam Cat Tien National Park to discover its incredible fauna and flora.
From the North and the Center, it is better to prefer the plane which is a safer and faster way to get to the region of the highlands.
For adventurers, it is also recommended to go there from Mui Ne or Buon Ma Thot enjoying an incredible motrobike trip of 2 or 3 days.
