November in Da Lat is characterized by the flourishing season of pink grass, displaying the freshest hues and lushest green grass of the year. So, jot down in your notebook the places where you can admire and take photos with this unique grass species to make the most of your winter trip to Da Lat.
The first spot boasting picturesque pink grass hills that many backpackers rave about is along Tran Hung Dao and Hung Vuong streets. If you take this route, you'll head towards Trai Mat, where lush fruit orchards, crops, and the most vibrant flowers in Dalat await.
At the Trai Mat junction, continue on towards Thai Phien flower village about 2km further, and you'll arrive at the stunningly beautiful and romantic pink grass hill.
Another must-visit spot with pink grass hills is the route to Clay Tunnel. This option is quite far from Dalat's city center, approximately 25km, and traverses through charming pine-covered hills. The pink grass hill is located by the roadside at the intersection where there's a signpost directing towards Clay Tunnel.
Additionally, at Golden Stream Lake, tourists can also admire a beautiful pink grass field, albeit not situated on a hill like the other spots. The pink grass by Golden Stream Lake is just a few kilometers away from Cu Lan village. Furthermore, along this route, you can hike through the forest trail to reach the famous lonely pine tree. However, based on experiences shared by many, this trail is quite challenging and can be hazardous, so it's advisable to travel in a group and be adequately equipped.
