    Day 1 Hanoï

    Our team will welcome you at the airport and introduce you to the vibrant city of Hanoi. You have a day of great sightseeing ahead of you from the gorgeous Epee Lake to the Ngoc Son Pagoda into the Old Quarter and more. In the afternoon, we’ll discover more of Hanoi delights such as the Temple of Literature—Vietnam’s first university. By late afternoon, we’ll be on the shores of West Lake reflecting the majesty of Tran Quoc, Hanoi’s oldest pagoda before enjoying an evening on the town.


    Day 2 Hanoï - Vu Linh

    We’ll roar out of the city on our Vietnam motorbike tours and into the beautiful Vietnamese countryside. We’ll wind through gorgeous rice fields and observe the Tam Dao mountain massif. We’ll then ramble towards Lake Thac Ba through tea plantations that dot the foothills. Soon, we’ll be on the waters of the lake discovery the gorgeous reservoir that provides that energy to Hanoi. We’ll explore islets and the coast and enjoy some swimming before spending the night in a lovely, traditional stilt homestay experience.

    Immerse yourself in Vietnam travel on the winding roads as we discover traditional villages encompassed in fields of acacias and eucalyptus. For lunch, we’ll dine near the marble architecture of Yen The before climbing the empty roads in the mountains. The views are beyond picaresque as we discover terraced rice fields and beautiful oases. At the end of the day, we’ll stop in Bac Ha to savor a delicious meal with the Tay Family and some of their traditional alcohol.

    Day 4 Bac Ha - Marché de Bac Ha - Pan Hou

    We woke early to discover the wonders of the Bac Ha market on our Vietnam motorbike tours. Here the black Dao, Nung, Giay and other peoples of the region gather to sell traditional goods like fabrics, crafts, and tobaccos from across the region. The market is a social gathering where locals gather to enjoy a cup of rice wine. Then we’re headed high into the hills stopping briefly to enjoy hikes in the rice fields discovering authentic villages. In the afternoon, we’ll rest at bungalow paradise perched in the hills.

    Day 5 Pan Hou - Nam Dam

    140 km

    We’re curving through the mountains to the edge of the Chay River continuing our Vietnam tours. As we wind along the river and its tributaries, we’ll meet more of the locals and learn more about the mountain passes to the “door of heaven.” Although we end the day of riding in Nam Dam, you might be tempted to hit the trail roads to discover some of the hidden villages including those of the Long Tunic Dao people before enjoying a traditional meal at a local home.

    Day 9 Ba Be

    We begin today’s Vietnam tours on foot walking towards North Vietnam largest natural lake. Ba Be is a simply magical sight home to dense vegetation and a wide array of animals or who live near the shore. Get ready to see your share of bats too as we head into Puong Cave. We’ll enjoy a Tay style lunch in a local restaurant before heading to the Dau Dang Waterfall for a little relaxation. Then we cross the lake to discover An Ma island temple.
