Day 1 : Dalat to the Jungle (6 hours trekking).
We
will pick you up at your Dalat hotel at 8:00 am and take about an hour
scenic valley drive to the trekking base. The first section of trail
takes us through ethnic minority villages and farms, and the Pine
Forest. We continue to trek forest paths until we arrive at the base of
Pinhatt Mountain. Here we will take a short rest to gain strength for
the steep uphill climb (45 minutes) to the top of Pinhatt. At the
Pinhatt summit we will break for lunch. On our descent you will notice
a very dramatic change in the local flora. The valley you had entered
is no longer the pine forest, but the dense jungle that Vietnam is so famous for. We will soon reach a private campsite where we will
stop for the night. Here you can relax, take a swim or head out into
the lake on one of our inflatable kayaks while watching the sun go
down. After dinner and reminiscing about the days events retire to your
tent for a good night's sleep.
Included services: Transfer, Tour guide, Lunch, Dinner,

Day 2: More trekking and back to Dalat (7 hours trekking).
After breakfast, start your day's trek through the Pine Forest near the
lake. Again, we will experience a dramatic change in scenery from pine
forest to thick jungle. Trek amongst the multitude of plant life and
enjoy the cool jungle breeze. If you are lucky, you may see a wild
orchid in bloom or a troop of wild gibbons. Upon exiting this thick
jungle section, we will walk between Elephant Mountain and another area
peak. From our vantage point we will be able to see the small minority
farms that dot the valley below. After lunch and a rest we continue
walking through the valley until we come to a ridge line, which we
follow to Chicken Village. Finally, after a few stories about this neat
little village you transfer to your hotel and call it a day.
