The road peels away beneath you—first a ribbon of asphalt through pine-scented Dalat, then a succession of hairpins, rice terraces and jungle light. On this four-day loop you feel the Central Highlands push and pull: Lak Lake’s still surface daring you to pause, waterfalls roaring like old engines, and mountain passes that demand focused riding.
