The way to the mountain to hunt for clouds and to hunt flowers has steep, slippery gravel. Without a cane, we stumbled several times. Then the wind rushed back, cool, the smell of smoke in the wind. Dinner.
Casual meal in wooden house on Dai Binh mountain.THUY HANG
Mount Dai Binh, H. Bao Lam, Lam Dong are not too far from H. Bao Loc – the highland area is too famous for tea, coffee, and a cool climate every evening or early morning. But, not everyone knows what special things are waiting for this mountain. We take the bus Thanh Buoi, to Bao Loc station, the shuttle bus takes us to the foot of the mountain. Each person has a backpack for a trekking trip to Dai Binh to hunt clouds, watch flowers and live slowly, away from the noisy and bustling city.
The road leading up the mountain is about 2.5 km long, the narrower and steeper the higher up, the steep many sections are nearly 20%, which makes climbers have to prepare their physical strength and suitable costumes such as shoes, shirts and hats. After the heavy rain last night, the dirt road was washed down many patches, making the slope even more slippery.
Many people gasping for breath, standing tired and resting quickly, call the baggage carrier and customers come down to “save you” to carry notes to the top. Mr. Thao, who accompanied us on the journey to the woods and carried bulky luggage up the mountain, said: “Motorbikes here have to be more“ modified ”to go. Going a lot is familiar. I drive a car. My wife, my two children, 25 and 18 years old, are all on motorbikes.

But any bumpy journey also gives people in the experience many worthwhile experiences. Although the slope was slippery many times it would fall if there was no stick taken from the side of the road to support it. The fresh air, the breath coming in is the smell of earth, the smell of plants, the smell of wind. Both sides of the road are green coffee and tea trees.
Wild flowers in the afternoon sun. Between the immense tea and coffee, there is a small, beautiful roof. Careful in the afternoon sun, we gradually walked to the middle of the mountain.
An airy bamboo house. Smell of smoke. Dinner has arrived.Small dogs seeing the sound of Thao’s motorbike from a distance rushed over to pick him up, wagging his tail furiously. The one running first, the second one sniffing his nose into the hem of the visitor’s pants, to distinguish between guests coming to the bamboo house or the gardener.
“If it’s a guest from the city climbing the mountain , it won’t bite. It is very happy and tangerine wrap. People who work on the fields but come here, they bite the pants and pull them to the door ”, Thao laughed.
We go on looking for happiness, but then it’s right here
Dai Binh Mountain is more attractive to people from the city who want to “hide”, stay hidden, to live slowly in nature like we are. It has bamboo roofs and space for hikers to camp overnight located near the top of the mountain. It has a variety of simple flowers. It has a cozy kitchen and warm locals.
For those who travel to experience , love sports, if the day discovers themselves through exhausting trekking, what is more fun than in the afternoon to take a hot bath from the sun and eat a meal Hot rice cooked from indigenous people, enjoying a cup of fragrant coffee in the mist of the mountain and setting up a camping tent to sleep among the purple flowers?

 Sea of clouds at the top of the mountain in the early morning |
The modern city takes a step back, no dust, no noise, no more hustle and traffic, picking up children, going to work, being late for school, we make fragrant coffee cups, set a wooden table in the middle of the flower garden. , bring the guitar to sing together in the middle of the mountain. Then the next morning in the morning fog, climb again on the trail, to hunt for clouds, watch the sunrise, catch the sun in the palm of your hand and be surprised because I conquered the summit of Dai Binh.
Living slowly by going up the mountain, hunting clouds, watching flowers, we find tranquility and then are shocked by the happiness we have. Not just because the rice is delicious. Not just because of the beautiful scenery. Not only because of the talented hands of Ms. Mun, Mr. Thao, but because in the middle of mountains and forests, there is an immensity of heaven and earth, when people have crossed the forest road to 1,000 meters above sea level, people are even more cherish the simple things that I have …Follow Thanh Nien online
