A day chasing Da Lat's finest waterfalls: the forest alpine coaster at Datanla, majestic multi-tiered Pongour and wild Elephant Falls beside Linh An Pagoda.
Da Lat's waterfalls are beautiful but far apart, so a private car is the easiest way to see them all in a day. Start at Datanla on the Prenn pass, where an alpine coaster whizzes through the pine forest down to the falls.
Next comes Pongour, with water spilling over wide stone terraces, then the untamed Elephant Falls next to Linh An Pagoda and its large Maitreya Buddha looking over the valley.

Bao Dai's Summer Palace, the old railway station, mosaic Linh Phuoc Pagoda, Truc Lam Monastery and Xuan Huong Lake — Da Lat's icons in one day with hotel pickup.
Set off before dawn to watch a sea of clouds roll beneath the hills, then stroll the bright green rows of Cau Dat tea plantation, founded in the French era.
Ride an open-top jeep to watch sunrise over the White Sand Dunes, then visit the Red Dunes, Mui Ne fishing village and Fairy Stream — Mui Ne's best sights in one morning.
