Details

Day 1: Da Lat – Ta Nang Peak (12 km). 

We will pick you up at the meeting point, and our tour guide will take you to a local restaurant for breakfast. Afterward, we will head to the gathering area to receive your equipment for the journey.

The first day’s trek will take us to the Three Provinces marker: Lam Dong – Binh Thuan – Ninh Thuan. Standing at this high point, you will take a deep breath and slowly enjoy the sounds of the forest, gazing at the endless mountains stretching in layers before you. This is a well-deserved reward after trekking 10 km through challenging terrain.

Continuing the journey for another 2 km along the “Dragon’s Backbone,” we will reach the campsite. We will set up tents and prepare a BBQ dinner. As the night falls, we will enjoy the warmth of our fellow travelers and gaze at the star-filled sky.

Day 2: Ta Nang Peak – Phan Dung (15 km).

We wake up early in the morning, enjoying the misty beauty of the landscape and sipping hot coffee to prepare for the new day’s adventure. The long slopes, and rich biodiversity, especially the clear Yaly stream flowing through the valley, will amaze you.

We will take a break and immerse ourselves in the refreshing water, washing away the exhaustion from the previous day’s trek.

Continuing for another 5 km, we will reach the final meeting point of the trek.

At the end of the trekking tour, we will take you back to Da Lat or Mui Ne. On the way, we will stop for a swim at Co Thach Beach.

Preparation for Physical Fitness and Personal Equipment:

Physical fitness: Before the trip, you should train by running 10-15 days in advance, with the ability to run 4km. This will ensure you are fit enough for the trek.

Clothing: Prepare sports pants, 2-3 pairs of high socks, and a warm jacket since the night temperature can drop to about 15°C.

Footwear: Choose shoes with good grip that dry quickly since the terrain involves crossing streams. You can also bring flip-flops or sandals to change into when crossing streams.

Backpack: Bring a backpack with support straps to help your back and shoulders during the trek. Guests are advised to prepare lightweight luggage suitable for outdoor activities, and bring personal equipment for the trip.

Personal items: Don’t forget to pack a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, power bank, personal hygiene items, insect repellent (for leech protection if trekking in the rainy season), and some snacks or energy bars for quick energy boosts.

Rain gear: It is advisable to bring a poncho or a rain suit to protect yourself from getting cold during rain.

Personal hygiene items: In addition to basic items, don’t forget sunscreen and mosquito repellent to protect your skin during the trek in the forest.
