Cross Iconic Mountain Passes Engage with Local Hill Tribes Discover Diverse Landscapes Enjoy Cozy Stays Who is this tour for…. Passionate Riders who see biking as freedom — the open road, the hum of discovery. Explorers who prefer winding backroads, raw landscapes, and journeys few attempt. Culture Collectors who appreciate local flavours, and shared stories. Scenic Seekers drawn to mountain bends, shifting skies, and moments that stay long after. Why this journey is a must-do for biking enthusiasts What sets this ride apart isn’t just the terrain or the scenery—it’s the way the journey recalibrates you. Northern Vietnam has a way of stripping travel down to its essentials. Long mountain roads, crisp air, and the steady hum of the engine create a rhythm that lets you fall into your own thoughts. You notice more. You feel more. You connect with the landscape in a way that only slow, deliberate riding allows. Each region you pass through—Tay villages by quiet lakes, limestone corridors near Dong Van, the sweeping terraces of Mu Cang Chai—adds another layer to that experience. The roads challenge you just enough to keep you present, but never so much that you can’t enjoy the movement, the stillness, and everything in between. By the time you return to Hanoi, the trip has worked on you quietly. You come back sharper, lighter, and oddly grounded, carrying the sense of space and perspective that only a ride like this can give. Detailed Itinerary Day 1: Arrive in Hanoi You land in Hanoi and settle into the rhythm of the city. The afternoon is yours to unwind, walk through the Old Quarter, and get a feel for the energy of northern Vietnam. In the evening, you meet your riding team for a bike briefing, route overview, and gear check. It’s a gentle introduction to the journey ahead and a chance to ease into the adventure mindset. Overnight: Hotel in Hanoi Day 2: Hanoi – Ba Be Lake (~240 km) You roll out of Hanoi early, leaving the city’s traffic behind as the road opens into the Red River Delta. The ride north takes you through a mix of smooth highways and winding rural stretches lined with tea hills, small markets, and stilt houses. As you enter Ba Be National Park, the landscape shifts to dense forest, limestone outcrops, and cool mountain air. The final approach drops gently into a Tay ethnic village by the lake, where the pace of life slows instantly. Overnight: Homestay in Ba Be Day 3: Ba Be – Meo Vac (~230 km) The day kicks off with narrow forest roads, broken patches, and the occasional stream crossing—exactly the kind of terrain that keeps riders awake and grinning. Villages thin out as the mountains grow sharper. By the time you approach Bao Lac, the road begins twisting into the dramatic karst landscapes of the Dong Van Karst Plateau. Expect switchbacks, high cliffs, and big views all the way into Meo Vac. Overnight: Hotel in Meo Vac Day 4: Meo Vac – Dong Van – Ha Giang (~180 km) This is one of the signature riding days in North Vietnam. You climb straight into the famed Ma Pi Leng Pass, riding along a razor-edge road carved into vertical cliffs with the Nho Que River far below. The optional Sky Walk viewpoint adds a bit of adrenaline on foot. As you continue toward Dong Van, the scenery softens into high valleys and Hmong stone villages. Visits to the Vuong Palace and border viewpoints break up the ride before a long, scenic descent into Ha Giang. Overnight: Guesthouse or hotel in Ha Giang Day 5: Ha Giang – Bac Ha (~200 km) You leave Ha Giang on a road that mixes smooth tarmac with stretches of rougher mountain sections. The route cuts through Hmong and Dao settlements, terraced hillsides, and quiet forested ridges. Expect steady climbs and long sweeping turns—a pleasant contrast to the tight mountain passes of the previous day. As you reach Bac Ha, the altitude drops slightly and the landscape becomes more open, dotted with plum orchards and wide valleys. Overnight: Homestay or hotel in Bac Ha Day 6: Bac Ha – Sa Pa (~120 km) A shorter, punchy riding day. You ease out of Bac Ha through rolling farmland before the road starts climbing toward Lao Cai. Traffic increases a little near the border town, but the ascent to Sapa is pure joy—long, curving mountain roads with mist drifting across the peaks. Sapa itself brings cool weather, lively evening streets, and a great selection of food to refuel after the ride. Overnight: Hotel in Sa Pa Day 7: Sa Pa – Than Uyen (~140 km) You cross the Tram Ton Pass, the highest paved pass in Vietnam, with sweeping views of Fansipan and the Hoang Lien Son range. On the descent the climate shifts noticeably—cool Sapa air gives way to warmer valleys lined with bamboo forests. The road toward Mu Cang Chai turns into one of the region’s most scenic sections, passing stepped rice terraces and remote settlements. Expect good tarmac with a few rough corners as you approach Than Uyen. Overnight: Hotel in Than
