Day 1: Ho Chi Minh City – Da Lat
This morning we leave Ho Chi Minh City and head for the hills, literally. The scenic 7-hour drive along Highway 20 to Da Lat will be broken up by stops at some of the tea and coffee plantations. We will stop for lunch at the picturesque Ponguar water falls, about 15km from the highway. Here you may have the opportunity of having your photo taken next to an elephant! Arriving at Da Lat, sometimes known as the “City of Eternal Spring,” by late afternoon, there will be the chance for a short walk to get a feel for this delightful city.
Overnight in Da Lat.
