About Bảo Lộc

Bảo Lộc is a high-altitude mountain town in Lâm Đồng Province, famous as the tea and silk capital of Southern Vietnam. Located about 110 km before Da Lat, it enjoys a cool highland climate and features massive green tea plantations (Tâm Châu), majestic waterfalls like Dambri, and mist-covered valleys. It remains highly offbeat and tranquil compared to the crowded city of Da Lat.

💡Why Visit?

Trek to the majestic 70-meter-high Dambri Waterfall and wander through the vast tea hills of Tam Chau.
