Cat Tien – Ta Dung Loop
Distance: 280 kms
I just love this road and lake system it follows dividing the Lam Dong and Dak Nong Provinces. It’s a bit rough in patches and at times some gravel on corners but nothing serious. The views to the lakes system some of the best water views in the country. Particularly Ta Dung overlooking what some refer to as the inland Halong Bay.
(A) The bridge to this way point gets you immediately out of town and into farmland.
(B) A good photo stop overlooking Da Teh Lake
(C) The way around the wall damming the Dong Nai River. As you see this lake system through the day it becomes most impressive the volume of water this wall retains.
(D) Your lunch stop overlooks some of the best views of Ta Dung National Park . The park covers 220 km² though so plenty to explore. At its heart a hydro dam that created a massive lakes system with 40 islands and peninsulas in the Dong Nai River system.
(E) Dambri Falls is quite an established attraction and at times quite crowded. The 200k entry is probably worth it only if you have the time to spend on the activities there.
