1. Lang Bian Mountain

First of all, I think you cannot ignore this wonderful hiking destination from Dalat. Lang Bian Mountain has gained much reputation for being one of the tallest mountains in the corner of Vietnam.

Apart from hiking, you can also take part in numerous adventurous activities such as camping and rock climbing. Moreover, people are interested in the local culture together with the brilliant scenery. It is very thrilling to have a look at the beautiful Silver and Golden Stream when standing at the summit of Lang Bian.

If you prefer the quiet rural area, Pu Luong Nature Reserve will be the right choice for you. I have never forgotten the breathtaking scenery of the parallel mountains and the valley. Besides, you can have a chance to explore the rice terraces, the biodiverse forest, as well as the limestone hills. If you are fond of hiking in Pu Luong, an overnight trek should be in your mind since it is very interesting.
