Dalat Sights + Tours
Dalat has incredible cultural and natural things to do. Not to mention many flower parks and gardens. You can explore many by renting a motorbike or going on a tour!
The temple is a hidden gem – located near by the popular Chùa Linh Phước pagoda. The temple is for the Cao Dai religion. The architecture has elements from multiple religions in it and is super impressive.

I've heard great things from travelers that the canyoning in Dalat is a must do! Sadly I haven't gone yet, but if you love adventure, you should add it to your Dalat itinerary!
Waterfall Canyoning: Best Dalat Tour for Thrill Seekers
The adventurous way to explore waterfalls + the local culture. I've been to a few of these sites including the waterfalls & the Guanyin Bodhisattva driving on my own.
Countryside + Waterfalls Motorcycle Tour (Easy Rider)
See the best waterfalls + Vietnam's largest Guanyin Bodhisattva by car tour. I've been to most of these sights, but drove myself! Very worth visiting, especially Pongour Falls!

I've been all these places on my own and they capture the essence of Dalat! This day tour includes the crazy house, Linh Phouc Pagoda, the Datanla Waterfall & more if you want to travel with ease.

Vegan Buffets + Restaurants 🥢
Da Lat is one of my favorite cities in Vietnam for vegan food. There are tons of vegan buffets. These are my favorites + the prices.
This one offers the best price/quality with at least 15 dishes. I go here the most. The owners are also very friendly!
50K ($2) Buffet (my personal favorite) · Bếp Chay Thiên Bình
Here you select what you want & they fill your plate. It's usually around 40k-50k VND and the vegan pork belly is the BEST.
Best Vegan Pork Belly (20 + dishes) · An Lạc Tâm
For 99k VND ($4) this buffet costs a bit more, but stands out because they keep dishes hot and are more fresh than other vegan buffets.

I will always return to this Dalat homestay because of the location, comfort, and amazing hosts 🥹
Mi Casa Homestay, Affordable Homestay with Balcony & the best Hosts 💕
Super-walkable to the Dalat night market and the rest of the center of the city. I also love there is a desk so I don't always have to find a cafe to work.
