This is the only motorbike route in the south to offer both beaches and mountains. It heads to Dalat and then Nha Trang. You can spend a full day exploring waterfalls around Dalat before heading to the beaches of Nha Trang. The roads coming out of the mountains towards the coast make for a beautiful ride. This route also offers the chance to go to Cat Tien national park and the Cu Chi tunnels. If you have the time it is a nice loop to do in the south. It can be combined with the first 2 routes which head to the Mekong Delta and Phu Quoc island.
