In this article, we are pleased to introduce 5 standout activities for corporate team building in Da Lat.

Team Building on the Grass Fields

The vast, lush green meadows of Da Lat provide the perfect setting for outdoor team-building activities. The rolling terrain, towering pine trees offering shade, and clear lakes reflecting the sky and surrounding forests create a natural scene that is both poetic and vibrant with endless shades of green. In the cool, year-round fresh air, teams can participate in various games such as relay races, tug-of-war, and inflatable obstacle courses – carefully designed by Exotic Vietnam to enhance teamwork, communication skills, and strategic thinking.

Prominent destinations such as Cu Lan Village – an eco-tourism site nestled within a pristine pine forest, featuring cultural symbols of the K’ho people and rustic wooden houses by the stream; Thung Lung Vang (Golden Valley) – distinguished by its rich vegetation, cool pine forests, and picturesque lakes; Dasar Valley – characterized by rolling hills, vast pine forests, crystal-clear lakes, majestic waterfalls, and vibrant flower gardens; and The Florest – a new attraction with fragrant flower fields blooming year-round, spanning 60 hectares and surrounded by ancient pine forests. These spaces not only foster team bonding but also offer close-to-nature experiences, helping create unforgettable memories and strengthening team spirit on every trip.

Trekking Team Building to the Summit of Lang Biang

For those who love challenges and adventure, trekking Lang Biang Mountain is an ideal activity. As one of the highest peaks in Da Lat, Lang Biang offers breathtaking views and a chance to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Central Highlands. The trekking route doesn’t lead through dense forests, but rather through gently sloping grasslands that feel as if they’ve been neatly trimmed under the forest canopy. The journey can also be combined with exhilarating abseiling challenges on a 25-meter-high cliff, adding an extra thrill to the experience.

The average time to hike from the foot of the mountain to the summit is about 4 hours, divided into two main sections. The first section is a 3km uphill trail leading to Radar Peak at an elevation of 1,950 meters. The second section is a 2km summit trail with alternating ascents and descents under a denser forest canopy, taking you to the top of Lang Biang at 2,163 meters above sea level. Along the way, Exotic Vietnam designs team-building challenges to foster connection and provide teams with insights into the surrounding nature and local culture. It’s a fantastic opportunity for teams to bond as they overcome challenges together, while developing teamwork, resilience, and leadership skills.

Additionally, teams have the chance to interact with the K’ho ethnic community living at the foot of the mountain, creating a richer and more meaningful experience. Upon reaching the summit, teams will be rewarded with panoramic views of the majestic valleys, lakes, and pine forests surrounding them, offering both a fulfilling and inspiring experience.

Culinary Team Building with Da Lat Vegetables

Vietnamese cuisine is globally renowned for its sophistication, freshness, and cultural richness. Da Lat, with its cool climate year-round and fertile soil, is known as the country’s “green vegetable hub,” producing an abundance of fresh ingredients such as curly lettuce, rainbow chard, artichokes, baby carrots, and strawberries. Taking full advantage of these natural gifts, the culinary team building program in Da Lat offers a unique gastronomic journey where participants not only explore local food culture but also strengthen teamwork through creative cooking activities.

The experience begins at organic or modern hydroponic farms located in areas such as Trai Mat, Van Thanh flower village, or Lac Duong. Here, teams get hands-on experience harvesting fresh produce, observing cultivation techniques, and listening to engaging stories from local farmers. Selecting ingredients based on color, texture, and aroma sharpens observational skills while fostering awareness of healthy and sustainable living. After the harvesting adventure, participants enter a cooking challenge in an open kitchen at a high-end resort or a garden villa nestled among pine trees. Under the guidance of professional chefs, teams collaborate to prepare signature dishes such as mixed green salad with passion fruit dressing, vegetable hotpot with soft tofu, crispy grilled rice paper (Vietnamese pizza), and Da Lat salmon – steamed, grilled, or served as sashimi. This cold-water fish, successfully farmed in Da Lat, is prized for its tender, sweet flesh, low fat content, and clean taste. The activity enhances essential team skills such as coordination, task delegation, and time management, while also sparking creativity and excitement as team members prepare each dish from start to finish. At the end of the challenge, everyone gathers around a vibrant farm-to-table meal – sharing the fruits of their labor, laughter, and unforgettable moments of connection.

Combining hands-on farming experiences, culinary exploration, and creative group activities, the cooking-themed team building program designed by Exotic Vietnam in Da Lat is more than just an entertaining event – it is a cultural journey. Each dish and every story shared becomes a powerful catalyst that brings people closer together, fostering connection and teamwork through the rich flavors and traditions of the region.

The Amazing Race Da Lat – A Journey to Explore the Highlands

This journey is inspired by the historic expedition of Dr. Alexandre Yersin, who discovered the Langbiang Plateau. Throughout the race, teams will face challenges that creatively incorporate the natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of the indigenous K’ho people. Participants will visit iconic landmarks across the city, complete interactive tasks, and overcome various obstacles. More than just a test of physical endurance, the program encourages problem-solving, strategic thinking, and effective communication. Along the way, teams will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in Da Lat’s history and culture through vibrant and engaging activities that foster teamwork and collaboration.

The program offers multiple routes tailored to different team profiles:

• A 6-kilometer cycling route takes participants along the flat and scenic roads surrounding Xuan Huong Lake, with checkpoints including the City Flower Garden, Da Lat Market, the Cathedral, Thuy Ta Restaurant, and Yersin Park.
• A 20–30 km extended route allows participants to explore further by 16-seat van, visiting famous landmarks such as Datanla Waterfall, the Clay Tunnel, Da Lat Station, and Bao Dai’s Palace, etc. Exotic Vietnam has designed many exciting team-building challenges at each destination.

Blending movement, fun, and cultural exploration, The Amazing Race Da Lat – A Journey to Explore the Highlands is more than just a team building activity – it’s a memorable experience that ignites the spirit of adventure, strengthens bonds, and instills pride in the natural beauty and heritage of Da Lat. It is an ideal choice for organizations seeking a program that is both challenging and deeply inspiring, with long-lasting team value.

Team Building at Bidoup – Nui Ba National Park: Exploration & Conservation

At an altitude of 2,287 meters, Bidoup is known as the “roof of the Central Highlands” and is the ideal destination for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and teams looking for meaningful team building experiences centered around conservation. Located at the heart of a UNESCO-designated biosphere reserve, Bidoup – Nui Ba National Park is one of the most pristine primary forests in Vietnam, home to 1,933 plant species, including 62 rare species listed in the Red Data Book. The park’s vast and diverse ecosystem features a variety of forest types, including evergreen broad-leaved forests, mixed broadleaf-coniferous forests in the humid subtropical zone, moss forests, dwarf mountain forests, and pine forests. This biodiversity hotspot is also a haven for endemic flora and fauna, making it a perfect setting for team building programs themed around “Exploration & Conservation.”

Teams can embark on forest treks, practice navigation using maps and compasses, observe rare wildlife, and work together to overcome challenges that require strategic thinking, collaboration, and environmental responsibility. One highlight of the 8km trekking route is the chance to witness a majestic 1,300-year-old Fujian cypress (Pơmu), standing more than 40 meters tall with a trunk circumference of 13.5 meters. Towering amid the ancient forest, this monumental tree serves as a living testament to the resilience and grandeur of the Central Highlands’ wilderness. Beyond its natural wonders, Bidoup – Nui Ba also preserves the cultural heritage of the K’ho ethnic group. Visitors can immerse themselves in the local culture through rustic stilt houses, the resonating sound of traditional gongs, the aroma of grilled meats wafting from a wood fire, and the warmth of communal gatherings with traditional jar wine. The enchanting dances performed by K’ho men and women in vibrant brocade costumes leave a lasting impression on every guest.

Team building at Bidoup – Nui Ba is more than just a journey into nature – it’s an opportunity for individuals to connect deeply with the environment and with each other.
