If you\u2019re on the hunt for Vietnam\u2019s stunning karst scenery and endless beaches, then Da Lat is not the place. However, what you will find here is a refreshingly cool climate, tumbling waterfalls, a thriving local culture and endless hiking trails.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those that love an adventure, Vietnam\u2019s Da Lat is your playground; hiking, rock climbing, camping, caving and more are on offer. From its history as a colonial town, Da Lat has held onto its little \u2018touch of Europe\u2019 making for a wonderful place to spend a few days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those interested in trekking Vietnam\u2019s central highlands will want to head just outside of Da Lat\u2019s centre to Lang Biang Mountain, a symbol of the city. The gentle trekking trail, perfect for beginners, takes around four hours to complete. At the top, you\u2019ll be rewarded with the view of Da Lat city from the height of 2,167 metres.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/vietnam-hiking-trekking-tours\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Design your own Vietnam hiking tour to Da Lat<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with the help of one of our trusted Local Designers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2982 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/thanh-tran-qjN810m4NE8-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"trekking Dalat Vietnam\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093911\/thanh-tran-qjN810m4NE8-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093911\/thanh-tran-qjN810m4NE8-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093911\/thanh-tran-qjN810m4NE8-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093911\/thanh-tran-qjN810m4NE8-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093911\/thanh-tran-qjN810m4NE8-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093911\/thanh-tran-qjN810m4NE8-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093911\/thanh-tran-qjN810m4NE8-unsplash-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093911\/thanh-tran-qjN810m4NE8-unsplash-585x390.jpg 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2560px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2560\/1707;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2982\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/thanh-tran-qjN810m4NE8-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"trekking Dalat Vietnam\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093911\/thanh-tran-qjN810m4NE8-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093911\/thanh-tran-qjN810m4NE8-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093911\/thanh-tran-qjN810m4NE8-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093911\/thanh-tran-qjN810m4NE8-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093911\/thanh-tran-qjN810m4NE8-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093911\/thanh-tran-qjN810m4NE8-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093911\/thanh-tran-qjN810m4NE8-unsplash-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093911\/thanh-tran-qjN810m4NE8-unsplash-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/noscript>#5 Ha Giang Trekking\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much more than a Hanoi day trip to Sapa, the northern province of Ha Giang is equidistant from the northern capital but offers a different experience to its more popular counterpart. As the northernmost province of the country before you hit China, Ha Giang is sometimes referred to as the \u2018final frontier of Vietnam\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ha Giang is known for its sweeping views, karst mountains, colourful ethnic minorities and, come spring, its carpet of blooming flowers. Whilst its deep valleys and high peaks are awe-inspiring, trekking Ha Giang in Vietnam is more for those that are looking for shorter routes. Several trails run through the valleys, along the mountains from one remote village to the next. However, the views at every turn are utterly tremendous.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the mountain passes &#8211; Ma Pi Leng &#8211; offers a panoramic view of limestone peaks, deep canyons and mountain ranges stretching as far as the eye can see, dotted with green fields and the occasional settlement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those that are looking to \u2018get off the beaten track\u2019, Ha Giang is the place. Strolling on the gentle paths between villages home to ethnic minorities you never know what you might find; from grazing buffalo, ladies weaving baskets and over-excited children at the sight of \u2018foreigners\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plan your perfect <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/vietnam-hiking-trekking-tours\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ha Giang trekking experience in Vietnam<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with one of our Local Designers who can tailor a trip to suit your budget, interests and travel style.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2981 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/vietnam-3356516_1920.jpg\" alt=\"Ha Giang Trekking\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093906\/vietnam-3356516_1920.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093906\/vietnam-3356516_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093906\/vietnam-3356516_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093906\/vietnam-3356516_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093906\/vietnam-3356516_1920-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093906\/vietnam-3356516_1920-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093906\/vietnam-3356516_1920-585x390.jpg 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1920px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1920\/1280;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2981\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/vietnam-3356516_1920.jpg\" alt=\"Ha Giang Trekking\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093906\/vietnam-3356516_1920.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093906\/vietnam-3356516_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093906\/vietnam-3356516_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093906\/vietnam-3356516_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093906\/vietnam-3356516_1920-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093906\/vietnam-3356516_1920-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093906\/vietnam-3356516_1920-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/noscript>#6 Pu Luong Nature Reserve &#8211; Hanoi Hiking Day Trip<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From a starting point like Hanoi, trekking opportunities are abundant in the north of Vietnam.

Inside the national park is a vast ecosystem filled with over 2,000 species of plants and over 1,500 species of animals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are three major trekking routes in Bach Ma National Park, the most popular is the 4,757-foot Hai Cong Dai Mountain &#8211; the highest point in the park. The route to the top of the mountain is 16 kilometres long and takes around four to five hours to complete. The challenging trek is truly rewarding as from the top, you\u2019ll be greeted with stunning views of the entire Bach Ma range, Truc Lam Temple and Truoi Lake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re keen to spend your next trip trekking Central Vietnam then <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/vietnam\/local-designers\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">connect with one of our Local Designers in Vietnam<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to make your dream trip a reality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#8 Trekking Central Vietnam\u2019s Paradise, Phong Nha Ke-Bang National Park<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003, Phong Nha Ke-Bang National Park (Phong Nha for short) is one of Vietnam\u2019s most unique national parks.

November to February can be a little cool and wet but come March, the weather turns and you have a few months of optimal hiking conditions before the heat becomes unbearable in June and August.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2976 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/kiril-dobrev-v63UL8s28Ew-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1705\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093844\/kiril-dobrev-v63UL8s28Ew-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093844\/kiril-dobrev-v63UL8s28Ew-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093844\/kiril-dobrev-v63UL8s28Ew-unsplash-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093844\/kiril-dobrev-v63UL8s28Ew-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093844\/kiril-dobrev-v63UL8s28Ew-unsplash-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093844\/kiril-dobrev-v63UL8s28Ew-unsplash-2048x1364.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093844\/kiril-dobrev-v63UL8s28Ew-unsplash-1170x779.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093844\/kiril-dobrev-v63UL8s28Ew-unsplash-585x390.jpg 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2560px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2560\/1705;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2976\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/kiril-dobrev-v63UL8s28Ew-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093844\/kiril-dobrev-v63UL8s28Ew-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093844\/kiril-dobrev-v63UL8s28Ew-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093844\/kiril-dobrev-v63UL8s28Ew-unsplash-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093844\/kiril-dobrev-v63UL8s28Ew-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093844\/kiril-dobrev-v63UL8s28Ew-unsplash-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093844\/kiril-dobrev-v63UL8s28Ew-unsplash-2048x1364.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093844\/kiril-dobrev-v63UL8s28Ew-unsplash-1170x779.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25093844\/kiril-dobrev-v63UL8s28Ew-unsplash-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/noscript><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to Create Your Own Trekking Tour Through Vietnam?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/vietnam\/local-designers\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Local Designers in Vietnam<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are experts when it comes to designing custom trips to suit your budget, travel style and interest.
