Tour highlight

More than 1,200 meters above sea level, the highland city of Dalat basks in a region of magnificent lakes, waterfalls, and a 2,135 meters mountain peak to the north. Once called the “summer capital”. Dalat has a mild climate round 16°C and is reminiscent of the alpine areas of Europe with its pine forests, rolling hills, and small lakes. The sky in the high plateau is deep blue. Some of the many lakes in the area are Xuan Huong, Than Tho (Sorrowful Sighs), Me Linh, Van Kiep, and Suoi Vang (Golden Brook).
Dalat was founded around 1920 by French physician, Alexander Yersin, who felt cool climate would make an ideal therapeutic retreat for his European patients who suffered from the debilitating effects of the tropical climate. The area was originally inhabited only by highland ethnic minorities, called Montagnards by the French. Lowlander Vietnamese, however, did not enjoy living year-round in the highlands. They considered the “climate” to be unhealthy because of uncharted jungle, savage tribes, and dangerous wild animals.
