Vietnam: Nha Trang, Dalat & the Southern Highlands

Nha Trang has many hotels, all within a few blocks of the Pacific beaches. People come here for three reasons: To eat seafood, to chill out, and to try the watersports. There are over a dozen dive sites in the area. The town stretches for miles along the Pacific. Walking is pleasant, especially on the ocean-front. You are in a scuba, sailing, snorkeling, beach paradise. Explore ancient monuments, or venture out to hot springs. Then there is Dalat, one of the most beautiful, laid-back parts of Vietnam. This is the coffee, tea, and mulberry growing area of Vietnam. Farms and cattle abound, and lakes with floating villages. Surrounded by rolling hills and forests, the area is great for trekking, hiking, biking, or just walking. If you need to retreat from the heat in the south, this is the place to do it. The waterfalls are south of Dalat and are certainly worth a trip. All the hotel and restaurant information you need is included, plus details on how to get around and what to see and do.
