A cheesy tourist attraction, or fun filled hours thrill seeking as you fly down an alpine waterfall coaster in control of your own speed and brakes?! The jury is still out, but my vote is that this is budget friendly and a unique experience worth checking out when in Dalat.

Set 1500 meters above sea level in the Central Highlands of Vietnam, Dalat benefits from a temperate climate with the cool mountain air a refreshing break from the stifling heat of Hoh Chi Minh city.
