Ho Chi Minh – Dalat. (B) |

The journey northwards begins as we depart Ho Chi Minh and pass through the many tea and coffee plantations to the hill station of Dalat, sometimes known as the "City of Eternal Spring". The drive is long but views are fantastic. On arrival we can soak up the cool climate and spend our time to wander around and catch our first glimpse of the town. The influence of the French is prevalent since Dalat was founded as a hill retreat for the colonials to escape the oppressive heat of the coastal plains and the Mekong Delta. This charming town is set around a lake and surrounded by forests, waterfalls and rolling countryside.
