Overview

Hiking and Kayaking at Tuyen Lam Lake in Dalat

Highlights

  • 8.5 km of moderate hiking to the beautiful kayaking area of Tuyen Lam Lake in Da Lat City
  • Pick up and transfer in city
  • Picnic lunch
  • Professional and licensed guides 

A trip to the Highlands wouldn't be complete without exploring the beautiful jungles and lakes in the region. Nothing beats the stunning views of mountains and forests from the serenity of Tuyen Lam Lake. Head deep into the jungle on foot and by boat through small rivers and tributaries that feed into the lake. 

The trailhead starts just south of Dalat and a short 15 minute vehicle transfer. We head up from 1,500 meters in elevation to the ridgeline which meanders between 1,650 and 1,700 meters. The going is steep to begin with and both sides of the trail are dotted with pine trees. The reward for this steep uphill climb is a fantastic view of the town and surrounding area, with stunning views of Langbian Mountain in the north.

This 8.5 km hike in Da Lat heads up along a jungle fringed ridgeline just south of town. This lonely trail charges up to its peak elevation early on and then gently rolls before heading down to the lake where our kayaks are located. You will be treated to a picnic lunch prepared by the guide, taking advantage of the many fruits and vegetable grown in the Dalat area.

After lunch, we will explore the far end of the lake and spend the remainder of the day exploring the many inlets and secret spots. The area is also known as the most popular spots in Vietnam for bird watching. We slowly make our way back to the boat launch from here, enjoying more great views of the lush pine forested and jungle areas that border the lake.

This fantastic trip is one that can be enjoyed by those of almost any fitness levels. A great day out for those who love to be on the water.

Did we mention that the Tuyen Lam Lake is also great for swimming!!
