What our drivers know about this route

Road Decision We use the Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh – Dau Giay expressway to bypass the industrial traffic in Bien Hoa. From Dau Giay, we join Highway 20, which is the primary artery into the Central Highlands. We avoid older provincial roads because Highway 20 offers more reliable rest facilities and better surfacing. The choice between Prenn Pass or Mimosa Pass depends on current traffic reports at the time of arrival.
Operational Reality Heavy truck traffic carrying vegetables from the highlands often slows down the climb through Bao Loc Pass. Weekend congestion is common as city residents head to the mountains, specifically on Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings. Fog frequently reduces visibility on the final approach to the plateau during early morning or late night trips.
Seasonal Notes The best months are November to March when the weather is dry and the wild sunflowers are in bloom. May to October is the rainy season, which can lead to slower travel times on mountain passes due to heavy mist.
Pickup & Drop-off Specifics We provide door-to-door service to hotels within the city centre of both locations. Some villas in Da Lat are located on narrow, steep alleys that larger vans cannot enter. In these cases, we drop passengers at the closest accessible point, usually within a short walk of the entrance.

What passengers say about this route

★★★★★

Our driver navigated the winding roads of Bao Loc Pass with great care during our trip from Ho Chi Minh City. The change in temperature was noticeable as we climbed higher into the mountains. We stopped for coffee at a small roadside shop near Madagui which was a nice break. The car was clean but the air conditioning took a moment to adjust to the heat.

★★★★★

Returning from Da Lat to the city in an SUV was comfortable even with our large suitcases. We passed through many tea plantations and the driver pointed out the Mimosa Pass shortcut which had less traffic than the main road. The journey took slightly longer due to afternoon rain near Dong Nai. I noticed the road surface was bumpy in sections of Highway 20.

SUV · 2026-02

★★★★★

Travelling as a group of ten from Ho Chi Minh City, the van provided plenty of space for our luggage and hiking gear. We arrived at the Prenn Pass entrance just as the fog began to clear over the valley. The driver was very patient when we asked to stop for photos of the pine forests. The seat belts in the back were a bit stiff.

One review for Ho Chi Minh City to Da Lat

    Kathy C., China

    Booked a private 7-seater from Ho Chi Minh City to Da Lat for 4 people during Tet. The booking process was smooth and professional — they responded quickly, gave a detailed all-inclusive quote and the driver info was sent in advance. Driver Mr Vu arrived on time and spoke English which was helpful. One thing to note — when I came back 2 days after getting the initial quote to confirm the booking, the price had already gone up from 3,700,000 to 4,400,000 VND. They did warn that Tet prices change daily so I accepted it, but just be aware — if you like the price, book it immediately. Overall good reliable service, would use again.
