Activities & Things to do in Da Lat
- Lak Lake. Stop in the central Highlands on a cycling tour.

Some of the road is pretty terrible, but it is passable.

- Easy Riders, 1 Nguyen Khuyen,  +84 9 1368 4754, [email protected]. Non-motorcyclists can travel the Central Highlands on a budget and have access to locations they might not otherwise know about. They are native English speakers from the surrounding villages who are well-versed in the local culture. Operating since 1992, this is the original Easy Rider that is mentioned in many guidebooks. It’s perplexing because several businesses adopted the idea and all refer to themselves as Easy Riders. The idea is the same worldwide, but the cost and level of quality may vary.
