Ngo Anh Tuan - a Representative of Dalat Discovery – said that “The wind is very strong this year, so the grass hills are not as beautiful as usual, but the number of tourists booking camping tours is still increasing”. He also remarked that the grass hill is at its most amazing state, and by mid-December the grass begins to wither.

Since the hill here is not too high and steep, travelers can ride their motorbikes around and find the most beautiful spot to enjoy the lovely view. They can also read books, listen to music, or find a small quiet corner to host their camping or picnic day.

Masara Hill does not have many trees, so the wind here is very strong. The steppe is quite large, and to ensure safety, travelers should go camping in groups or choose a tour provided by units.
