Itinerary:
Day 1: Pinhatt Moutain Trek - Overnight Camping
Leave the center of Dalat City from your hotel, we drive further to the South, along picturesque scenic roads to Razorback Trailhead (the Pinhatt Mountain Trailhead), where we start our journey. The first section of trail takes you from 1,500 meters to 1,700 meters.We will trek through minority farms and pine forest. Here it’s easy for us to see elephants along the way. They live at the lake and are tamed. We continue to trek through forest paths until we meet the base of Pinhatt. Try to trek on the steep uphill climb (45 minutes) to the summit of Pinhatt after a short rest.
A picnic lunch of fresh veggies and fruits, baguettes with an assortment of toppings and a French-style pastry is prepared by our guide to satisfy your sweet tooth and help you to gain strength for next section. A rest on the mountain-top offers us the fantastic views of Dalat and Langbian Mountain in the distance.
We start slowly descending down from the ridge to the lake. You will notice a very dramatic difference in the flora and fauna. The valley you enter is no longer pine forest, but the tropical jungle that Vietnam is so famous for.
