Cloud hunting is one of the most popular travel experiences when visiting Dalat. Using the word "hunt" instead of "taking" because having a successful cloud image depends on many factors. High mountainous areas like Da Lat or Sa Pa (Lao Cai) are particularly suitable for this experience. However, clouds do not always appear to tourists "encapsulated" in the photo brought back.
Normally, the beautiful cloudy season in Da Lat is mainly in June and July. Some winter times also have clouds. However, you should also be willing to take the spirit but still hunt. Some units in Dalat also organize rattan hunting tours but often do not warn customers about the possibility of "spraying". Therefore, you need to pay special attention to this issue to avoid losing money unfairly.
Many lucky people who successfully hunt rattan call it "a beautiful landscape like a fairyland". White clouds, floating like strips of silk covering a sky. Depending on the new sunlight of the sunrise or the orange or sunset color, the color of the clouds also changes unpredictably. The chill in the cloud hunt is an experience that makes many visitors remember.
Important conditions in a cloudy hunting session include wind, heavy dew, no rain (sometimes cloudy). The beautiful places to own a picture of Dalat’s standard cloud hunting are Dat Cau, pink grass hill, Thien Phuc Duc hill, Da Phu, Hon Bo ...
Cloud hunting is an experience not for the lazy. Normally, hunters have to get up from about 4 hours to prepare. Cloudy locations are also quite far from the city center, about 15-20 km. The weather in Dalat early in the morning was also very cold, especially in the high mountains. Therefore, travelers need to prepare warm clothes to avoid cold. Experience renting campfire, baked potatoes for breakfast is also something you should try.
Clouds, dew and sunshine are the three themes that photographers love when coming to Dalat. This land converges enough elements to produce captivating nature photos. On the high hill, the cloud cover creates a scene that appears from a fairy. In the immense pine forest, the sun’s rays overhead penetrate the beautiful trees like the light of heaven. In the heart of the city, the fog of night gives a fanciful feeling hard to find anywhere.
In case of being too lazy to make a rattan hunt, visitors can fully experience the view in the room. Dalat has many beautiful homestay with hilly view. By just getting up early, you can watch the whole scene of clouds covering the hills.
