According to the current trend, tourism is no longer a hobby but has become an essential need in life. Many types of tourism have appeared to meet the increasing needs of society. Among them is caravan tourism.
Caravan used to mean a group of travelers. They used their own personal vehicles, traveling together to the border of a country or a certain destination. Today, caravan tourism still retains that meaning. The only difference is that it is no longer just for commercial purposes, but has become a popular form of tourism.
Caravan tourism gives you the opportunity to explore and adventure on beautiful roads. You will experience firsthand the beautiful coastal roads from North to South, or the impressive passes of the Northwest region, ... Not to mention, to meet the increasing demand for caravan tourism, today's box cars are designed to be extremely comfortable and luxurious. They are no different from miniature five-star hotels.
What to prepare when traveling by caravan?
When taking part in a caravan trip, the first thing you need to prepare is a good car. You can buy or rent. But no matter what, before going, you must take the car for regular inspection, change the oil, prepare a spare tire. Going a long distance, the car is very easy to get a flat tire. Simple spare parts such as fuses, lights... are also extremely important.
Especially, if you are traveling on dirt roads like in Vietnam, don’t forget to bring ropes and shovels in case your wheels get stuck in the ground. On the other hand, choosing the right sightseeing route is also very important. First of all, you need to consider the total distance traveled and the level of difficulty.
Experience caravan tourism in Dalat
To get to Da Lat, instead of going from Highway 20, from Madagui through Dong Nai, you can take a shortcut through Ta Pua Pass. This will save you more time. This is a new route so the scenery is still quite wild. The population is sparse. Vehicles can go much more leisurely. However, you should also be careful of curves and detours. Especially when encountering livestock, you should stop and reduce speed immediately.
Or, you can also choose the route from Ta Pao. When taking this route, you will pass through rice fields and beautiful mountainous areas. The downside is that this route is quite far. If you want a shortcut to get to your destination quickly, this will not be the route for you.
Camping on the hilltop
When coming to Da Lat, many people immediately think of the famous three-pine hill. But up to now, the road leading to this hill has been banned for four-wheeled vehicles. Therefore, you cannot come here by caravan.
However, another equally beautiful camping site is Hon Bo peak. The stunning landscape of Hon Bo temple is perfect for you to stop your car to camp, watch the sunset or hunt for clouds. Below the camping site, you can see the beautiful Thai Phien flower village valley. At night, hang lanterns around the camping area to make your dinner more sparkling.
Another place for caravan tourists to camp is Suoi Vang Lake. Ask the locals for directions to get there. Suoi Vang Lake is located right at the pier leading to the lonely pine hill, not too difficult to find.
You will also find dedicated campervan services, complete with all the necessary equipment, all provided by locals. In the morning, you can watch the sunrise over the beautiful rippling lake.

This movement will continue to grow strongly in the near future. Especially, due to the impact of the epidemic, international flights are closed, domestic tourism is an alternative form. People's view of caravan tourism is gradually becoming closer.
Caravanning is an experience you should try in your life. Living in the middle of wild and majestic nature brings peace of mind that no other form of vacation can compare to.
