Day 1 Coffee Roads To Lak Lake
The ride starts at your hotel in Buon Ma Thuot with bike fitting and a route briefing before heading out through coffee plantations, pepper gardens and red soil countryside. After a local lunch along the way, the route continues through rice fields, farms and village roads, with the pace easing as the group nears Lak Lake. In the late afternoon you arrive at the lake, check in, and have time to walk along the shore before dinner. Cycling distance for the day is 45 to 60 km.

Day 2 Climbing Into The Southern Highlands
After an early breakfast by the lake, the group sets off on the longest riding day of the trip, with the support vehicle following for water and luggage. The route rises into higher terrain, passing farms, forested sections and small communities with wide views over the highlands. A longer lunch stop allows the guide to check everyone's energy and adjust the afternoon distance if needed. Depending on conditions, some sections are covered by support vehicle rather than by bike. The day ends at an overnight stop on the way to Dalat. Cycling distance is 60 to 80 km.

Day 3 Highland Farms Into Dalat
After breakfast and a final route briefing, the ride continues through vegetable farms, flower growing areas and pine forest sections, with the air turning noticeably cooler as Dalat gets closer.

The tour ends in the afternoon with a transfer to your hotel or a central drop off point. Cycling distance is 55 to 80 km.
