You will get over 900 meters of descent on this 90+ km ride to Mui Ne as you wind through pine and jungle forested valleys into the tropical climate below. Our support vehicle takes you from Dalat to Di Linh (75 km) where we start the ride down to Mui Ne. The ride goes through small minority villages and jungle forested valleys to the beautiful beaches below. The first section of riding is through coffee plantations and forest and includes a 5 kilometer uphill climb to get you warmed up.
This is followed by plenty of down hill and rolling sections. A final long downhill pass is completed before the road flattens out with a long cruise to Highway 1, where the ride ends and our vehicle transports us the rest of the way to Mui Ne (usually 30 minutes). The road is mostly paved (sealed) secondary and the support vehicle is used to transport all luggage and provisions for lunch and refreshment. The ride is also customizable in length, as the support vehicle can be used at any time by tired riders.
The 2 day ride to Mui Ne starts right from Dalat and heads east through rose farms with stunning views of Lang Bian Mountain before dropping 400 meters through a jungle forested valley. We stop at Elephant Waterfall for a quick break before continuing the ride through a spectacular section of pine hills, rice paddies and small fruit orchards and vegetable farms. Up to 80 kilometers biking is possible on day 1. Accommodation is arranged in Di Linh in a clean and comfortable, but basic guest house. The second day follows the 1 day to Mui Ne program minus the vehicle transfer. The support vehicle is available the entire trip to transport luggage as well as tired riders.
