About this experience
Highlights:
*We will have lunch with local food instead of buffet
*Ba Na Hills : Perched on top of the Ba Na Hills, 1487 metres above sea level, is the spectacular home of a fully-fledged French replica village of epic proportions
To reach this spectacular village you ride Ba Na Hills cable cars. They are of the top 10 in the world and hold two Guinness Records—for being both the longest and highest cable car
When you get off the cable car you feel the temperature change—it’s so much cooler up here. You are free to roam the beautifully manicured gardens with their giant chess pieces and pagodas. There’s a 27-metre tall Buddha and the new addition of the now-famous Golden Bridge
*Marble Mountain : Most of the caves are cool inside, with the jungle plants and mossy walls creating an exotic atmosphere found nowhere else. All the caves in Marble Mountains have unique features, and some have fascinating stories of being discovered and used as hideaways over the centuries.
