Summary
Đồng Nai – Lâm Đồng – Đắk Nông – 700kms Tour
THE MOST SCENIC ROUTE!
This tour will offer the most scenic landscape all around, starting from forests, passing by amazing valleys, hills with mesmerizing views and a lakeside ride you won’t forget. This ride will be mixed and so far has exceeded the expectation of every guest. There will be lots of offroad tracks as well as a few optional technical challenges. Among the highlights will be the 55th highway which we will ride just enough to see the best viewspots, some just so beautiful that you will want to stay.
The Southern Highlands are still in the unconventional path of the traditional tourist. Yet its beauty is comparable to all the hills and valleys that Vietnam uses for postcards. The greenery, the cloudy hills and the mineral-rich rivers that represent this region will remain in your minds for ever.
