The experience
The day starts at a local banh mi shop in Da Lat, where you grab breakfast before heading to Tuyen Lam Lake to eat and drink coffee. From there the motorcycle carries you to the K'ho ethnic village and the Chicken village, where your guide explains the history and daily life of the people who live there. You then stop at a local family home to watch how they make fresh noodles by hand, and a sugar cane juice stand breaks up the ride before you head toward the waterfalls.
A walk to the waterfall lets you breathe the highland air and take photos, followed by a 30-minute ride to lunch. After eating and resting, you climb the stairs up to the Lady Buddha Statue, the highest in Vietnam, and look out over Elephant Waterfall from the top. The ride continues to a silk factory where you see the full lifecycle of silkworms and watch the manufacturing process, then taste fried cocoons. A cricket farm comes next, where you learn about cricket farming and try fried crickets with rice wine.
The final stop is a coffee plantation where your guide walks you through how weasel coffee is made and roasted. You rest and take in the views before the motorcycle carries you back over Tà Nung pass to Da Lat city center. Helmet, fuel and entrance fees to Pongour fall, the silk factory and cricket farm are all included in the ride.
