Pinhatt Peak is an ideal destination for those who love exploring nature and want a gentle trek, rewarded with a vast panoramic view of Da Lat city from above. Get ready to conquer it and enjoy your journey!
Fun experience, the path is not difficult to walk Climbing takes about 45 mins to 1 hours to reach the mountain peak The forest view along the way is beautiful, and upon arrival, the panoramic view of the city is even more beautiful. Questionable point: I don't understand why the starting point was fenced off and posted with a prohibition sign🤔
Pinhatt Mountain is a great choice for those who love day hiking. The climbing route is not too difficult but challenging enough to create a sense of conquest. The natural scenery is beautiful and diverse: old pines, green forests, mountain rocks, and viewpoints opening up to poetic Tuyen Lam Lake from above. The climate here is cool and fresh, very pleasant even during heavy physical activity. Reaching the peak, strong winds and open space help you clearly feel the freedom and wildness of Da Lat. This is definitely a worthwhile experience for explorers.

As in previous reviews, the road to the peak is quite easy and scenic. If you have Strava, you can follow the trail on the app; if not, just follow the existing trail. Note that when you reach a fork (marked by a small piece of cloth hanging on a branch, as in my 2th video), turn right and go straight to get there. It took us about 40 minutes to reach the summit, it was a bit slippery so remember to wear grippy hiking shoes for ease. Note that this mountain is currently privately owned, so security guards might chase you down; a group behind me was stopped by security from going up, so everyone should be careful.
Turns out there are about 2,5 ways to reach the peak. Besides walking along the paved road that has been blocked (parking near Hill cafe), you can also follow the trail opposite Sacom resort as many others have guided. This way seems shorter than taking the paved road and has two routes through the pine forest to go up/down, one winding along the hillside (easiest to go but quite long) and one going straight from the base to the top (harder, shorter). This journey is actually quite easy, elderly people or children can also do it, you just need good shoes, patience, and to follow the marks carved on the tree trunks. It will be more fun with a dog leading the way and nice dry weather... Wish you success!
For those, teams who want to experience climbing on their own Everyone park their vehicles at Sam resort, then look across the road for a path blocked by barbed wire. Everyone take that path. Go about ~200m, you'll encounter a 3-way junction, then everyone turn right, go a few dozen meters to encounter another 3-way junction then turn left. Then just keep going up to the peak. Easy to walk for anyone wanting to try a climbing experience, first-time climbers can make it all the way. I'm writing this because when I went on 1 I got lost😅 Well worth the effort spent👍
