The Nha Trang to Dalat cycling route is one of Vietnam’s most exciting and diverse rides. In just two days, you’ll pedal from the turquoise coastline of Nha Trang to the cool pine forests of Dalat, climbing through breathtaking mountain passes, rural farmlands, and remote ethnic villages.
This ride is a favorite for cyclists seeking both a challenge and a change in scenery. And with Golden Cycling Tours offering full van support, expert guides, and high-quality bikes, it's an adventure that’s accessible, safe, and unforgettable.
This ride offers a dramatic shift in geography. You begin by the sea at sea level, then climb steadily into the southern highlands, gaining over 1,500 meters of elevation. Along the way, the scenery transforms from sandy beaches to jungle-covered hills, coffee plantations, and pine forests.
The road to Dalat is surprisingly quiet, especially the Hon Giao Pass, a long but scenic climb through remote landscapes. You’ll pass minority villages, encounter local farmers, and enjoy roadside stops without crowds of tourists.
With distances of around 130–150 km over two days and a major mountain pass to conquer, this ride is ideal for intermediate to advanced cyclists looking for a rewarding experience. E-bikes and van support are available for riders who want the views without all the strain.
