Challenging 5 Days Northern Vietnam Motorbiking. Challenge yourselves by motorbiking across some most exotic trails to explore breathtaking landscapes in the north of Vietnam: Mai Chau, Vu Linh, Ha Giang, Ba Be
Today is the first day of this Challenging 5 Days Northern Vietnam Motorbiking. Before starting to ride, we will have a short briefing to let you know about the rules. In addition, the guide will show you how to understand him by his body language. We start around 9.30am after the rush hours.
Rice field in Mai Chau
Once out of the Red River Delta, which brims with traditional farming activity, we pass through limestone monoliths and into foothills populated by Muong people. We head straight at the main range before reaching a high and beautiful forested pass, which descends into the hidden valley of Mai Chau where we spend the night with friends in a traditional Thai stilt house.
The valley of Mai Chau lies between two rivers: the Da River and the Ma River. Therefore, Mai Chau is very fertile and rich in varied landscapes, medium mountains, forest, lake, rivers, and infinitude of small footpaths and offer many possibilities of a trek. In the valley of Mai Chau and its surroundings are Muong, White Thai, H’Mong, and the Dao who we meet at the markets or in their villages during trekking, boating or while driving.
Overnight at homestay.
Long drive from Mai Chau on the secondary road through Red River Delta along the river that leads to Yen Binh. After lunch in Yen Binh, we drive to Vu Linh. A boat is waiting to take us and our bikes to cross Thac Ba Lake to Vu Linh (1.5 hours). Vu Linh is a Dzao village and the welcome is exceptional.
Overnight at homestay.
Say goodbye to fiesta people in Vu Linh, we ride along the lake following the small track through palm tree forest and rice field where see people harvesting rice. Good road and easy ride, we arrive Ha Giang around 4 pm, early enough for the guide to arrange permits to travel within this province.
Overnight at homestay.
Quite an easy drive and not too long from Ha Giang to Ba Be. Ba Be is a nice stop with rich Tay culture. However, if you want a shorter ride back to Hanoi the next day, it is all the time possible to stop 50 km after Ba Be. The place is Na Khan, a village of Tay people lost in the forest.
Overnight at homestay.
Today is quite a long ride but easy (so early departure is better) from Ba Be back to Hanoi ~240 km.
Arrive in Hanoi at about 5 pm
