What the terrain is like

Not one road but a 170 km² patch of country next to the city. The map records 330 km of dirt tracks inside it and another 40 km of trails. Forest covers 27% of the area. Elevation runs from 1,339 to 2,008 m, with most of the ground around 1,500 m. Which trail to take is the guide's call here, not the map's.

Know before you go

These are not roads with names. Nothing here is signposted, and the map holds only part of what exists on the ground - which is why the trails are ridden with a guide, not from a screenshot.

When to ride

Da Lat sits at 1,500 m, and its wet season is shifted against the coast: it rains from May to October, while January is almost dry. On clay tracks that difference is the difference between a ride and a mudbath.
