Tour Experience

Starting from Da Lat city center, we cycle past Xuan Huong Lake and through flower farms. The first 6 km on sealed road is a good warm-up before the challenge begins.

The route then shifts into dirt roads circling Victory Lake before narrowing into technical single track, leading us deeper into the pine forests east of Da Lat. 

This section offers a mix of wide dirt trails and fun rolling terrain, combined with tough hills and steep descents. The most demanding hill is steep but short – pushing your stamina to the limit.

After conquering the hardest climb, we take a well-earned break in a beautiful clearing overlooking Da Lat’s northern forests. Lunch includes baguettes with assorted toppings, fresh vegetables, fruits, and pastries – a chance to taste Da Lat’s famous produce.

After lunch, we ride out of the forest into farmland, briefly overlap with earlier trails, and return to Da Lat on paved road. The full loop forms the shape of a lopsided “8,” giving the tour its name.
