Message Ngân](/en/contact) ![A sea of white cloud fills the valleys around Đà Lạt at sunrise, a pink band on the horizon, green treetops in the foreground](/_astro/exp-san-may.HTsGvjz__1AOEnX.jpg) ## How it runs 1. **16:45** ### Book the day before Tell Ngân at least 12 hours ahead, so by 16:45 the day before. That evening Vinh checks the rain and wind and picks the hill. 2. **04:30** ### Up and dressed warm Meet in the lounge. Warm layers, soft-soled shoes and a torch: the 46 stone steps down to the gate are still dark. 3. **04:45** ### Leave the gate Vinh drives. Đa Phú is about 10 km and Cầu Đất about 23 km from the centre of Đà Lạt. 4. **05:00** ### Wait on the hill The usual cloud window is 05:00 to 07:30\. On a good day the valley below fills with white; on a clear one you watch the light come up over the hills. 5. **07:30** ### Back for breakfast The car drops you at the gate. Breakfast in the lounge runs 07:30 to 09:30\. The stove is not lit in the morning, but the coffee is hot. Dalat cloud hunting (săn mây) is a local habit: get up in the dark, drive to a hilltop, and wait to see whether the valley below has filled with cloud. We handle the car and the driver. Vinh meets you in the lounge at 04:30, the car leaves the gate at 04:45, and you are back in time for breakfast at 07:30. We do not promise clouds. Some mornings the valley is a white sea; some mornings it is just a sunrise over the hills. You are paying for the car, not the clouds. ## Which hill Vinh decides the evening before, based on rain and wind. The two he uses most are Đa Phú hill and Cầu Đất. Distances below are from the centre of Đà Lạt, as given by a Mia.vn guide we read on 4 October 2026; we have not measured them from our own gate. | Hill | Distance from the centre | | ---------- | ------------------------ | | Robin Hill | about 2 km | | Đa Phú | about 10 km | | Langbiang | about 18 km | | Cầu Đất | about 23 km | ## When it works best Clouds tend to be clearer in the dry season, from roughly October or November to April. Sources disagree on the starting month, hence “roughly”. In the rainy season (late April to October) we still go on mornings without rain. ## Price and booking 350,000 VND per car, up to four people, at least 12 hours’ notice. Add it to your request on the [booking page](/en/book) or message Ngân. If you would rather watch from your room than climb a hill, look at the [Sun Porch](/en/rooms/sun-porch), with its east-facing porch, or the [Mist Suite](/en/rooms/mist-suite), glass on two sides over the valley. Vinh’s longer guide to [cloud hunting in Đà Lạt](/en/guide/cloud-hunting-dalat) covers timing, clothing and what the empty mornings are like. Everything else we arrange is on .

[Mia.vn, Đà Lạt cloud-hunting tips (Vietnamese)](https://mia.vn/cam-nang-du-lich/kinh-nghiem-san-may-da-lat-15082) (read 4 Oct 2026) ## Bring - A warm jacket and a windproof layer: the hilltop at 05:00 is colder than the house. - Soft-soled shoes with grip; the grass is usually wet. - A torch or phone light for the steps and the path up the hill. - A scarf and a beanie in December and January. Leaves the gate at 04:45, back for breakfast at 07:30\. Clouds depend on the morning.

No. The 350,000 VND pays for the car and the driver that morning, not for the clouds. We say so upfront so you can decide whether to go. ### What if it rains? If it is pouring or the road is slippery, Vinh tells you and the car does not go, and you are not charged. The rainy season runs from late April to October. ### Can five of us go? One car takes up to four people. Five or more need two cars, 350,000 VND each, if a second car is free that morning; ask Ngân first. ## Rooms that suit it - [![Sun Porch: a large bed with a grey quilt under a wood-lined A-frame roof, a floor-to-roof glass gable with sheer curtains on each side, an armchair by the glass, trees and hills outside in early sun](/_astro/room-hien-nang.n2dh-dID_Z2uj5au.jpg)Hiên NắngSun Porch28 m² · up to 3 guests · **from 1,490,000 VND** (low season)An east-facing porch for coffee at sunrise.
