Itinerary Tour

Day 1: Hanoi – Thac Mu: 210 km/ 7 hours ( L,D)

Accommodation: homestay

+8:00 am: Our guides will pick you up at your hotel, or you can meet up with us at our tour office to get ready

for our Off road Vietnam Motorbike Tours.

+9:30 am: We’ll head along about 20 km of urban roads to get out of the city. Soon enough, we’ll be riding

through bumpy dirt-road running across rice fields, village ponds, and quaint earth dams. You will get to see

the quiet, lovely everday farmer life in rural northern Vietnam motorbike tour today’s.

+ 10:30 am: We’ll reach the intersection with the Ho Chi Minh trail. After riding 5 km along National Highway

6, we’ll make our first stop at a road-side café before setting off on our next off-road route. Instead of

continuing on National Highway 6 or the Safe Zone road, we’ll head off via a small road along Luong Son

stream. After 20 minutes of riding through Muong villages, we’ll arrive at the start of our off-road ride. This

route only stretches for 25 km, but it is rather challenging. If it rains, you will most probably fall once or twice

during the ride! We’ll cross 9 small creaks and 7 quiet Tay villages to break out into the Safe Zone road

(normally it’d take us roughly 1 hour to get here, but it might take up to 2 hours if it rains.) From here on, we’ll

hug a stream for about 5 km before turning right right through a hill to continue on a small road towards Kim

Boi fork.

+1:00 pm: We’ll have lunch at a local restaurant with local specialties that put this area on the map.

+2:30 pm: We’ll take on another challenging off-road route in the afternoon. We’ll ride along the stream that

runs through Bai Chao (during dry season). This is a fun and exciting 5 km ride. It could take us up to half an

hour to conquer this relatively short yet difficult route. Once we’d had our fun, we’ll head back to National

Highway 6, and instead of taking the big road, we’ll head straight for the top of Cao Phong’s orange and

tangerine hills.

+3:20 pm: We’ll pass hills after hills of one of the best oranges and tangerines in Vietnam, cross a large stream,

and head towards that which is probably the most impressive off-road route on our trip thus far. This will be a

gruesome 5 km ride. If it’s sunny and dry out, we’ll climb steep hills and roll off the other side. But if it rains,

we’ll definitely be pushing and pulling our bikes up the slope, and breaking with all the breaks our bikes have

plus one leg going down! I don’t know about you, but to me this makes one hell of a starting day!

+4:40 pm: Heading back to road 12B, we’ll hug it for 15km then switch to another 15km of off-road riding to

reach small Mu Waterfall.

We’ll end our impressive first day at a homestay by the fall, and rest for the rest of the day: a well-earned

rewards after a long eventful start of our off-road Vietnam motorbike tour!

Day 2: Mu Waterfall – Pu Luông: 160km/ 7 hours (B,L,D)

Accommodation: homestay

+8:30 am: After breakfast and bidding farewell to our host, we’ll set off on another exciting off-road

Vietnam tour day! We’ll ride right through the local village towards a stream (we won’t be able to take this

route in rain season as the water will be too high) and cross an old forest within the boundary of Pu Luong

Natural reserve. This is actually a local footpath, used mostly by locals for logging and hunting, thus there will

definitely be instance where we have to push each others up-slope just to continue. This will be one memorable

part of our North west motorbike tour!

+11:45 am: Once we pass a small village quietly sleeping amid the trees, we’ll break out of the forest and meet

the Ho Chi Minh trail, the historic trail pivotal to the survival of the Vietnamese army during the Vietnam-

American war. The Ho Chi Minh trail was once a footpath cutting through the densest of trees, which now

has been built into a cross-country highway. We’ll stop for lunch at a local restaurant on the side of this

incredible trail.

+12:45 pm: Right after lunch we’ll double back to National Highway 12B, where we have two options for you:

- Option one (the easy way out): we can continue on this backroad for an easy and relaxing ride all the way to

Lung Van, or

- Option two (hard choices are the best choices): if we still have some fight left in us after the first off-road

ride, we’ll turn into a muddy path leading us straight through the forest back to Mu waterfall.

+3:45 pm: From Mu Waterfall, we’ll head for Lung Van, a notorious cloud hunting site for bikers in Vietnam.

From there, we can take a rough joyride through the forest and rocky hills to Thung Khe pass, for a magnificent

view of Mai Chau valley at sunset.

+13:00 pm: Photo ops at Thung Khe pass, overlooking Mai Chau valley, then we’ll ride for our homestay.

+5:30 pm: We’ll arrive at our homestay, wrapping up another day on this long, tough, yet lovely off-road

Vietnam motorbike tour.

Day 3: Mai Chau – Moc Chau: 140km/ 6 hours (B,L,D)

Accommodation: 4 star Muong Thanh Moc Chau Hotel

+8:30 am: We’ll have a healthy breakfast, and grab our much need Vietnamese coffee to jumpstart our brain

before saying goodbye to our Thai host family to get on with the third day of our Vietnam off-road motorbike

tour.

We’ll start our day with a “light” ride along mountain side and rice fields of the Thai people. Thai villages

normally forms inside vast valleys with endless rice fields and a small river or stream passing through the

middle. We ride towards Cun Pheo.

+ 9:30 am: We’ll embark on a 45 km route of true blue off-road biking! This is a small footpath linking different

H’Mong villages to each others. H’Mong is a Vietnamese minority residing among the highest mountains of

Vietnam, where the terrain is tough and the weather even more so. This path will lead us from one mountain

range to the next, passing alleviating views of endless green forest accentuated with waves of golden corn

terrace and the occasional tiny wooden houses: a different side of Vietnam, epic, beautiful, humbling, raw and

pristine.

+1:00 pm: We’ll stop for a light lunch at a side road diner along the highway towards the Viet-Lao border.

Right after lunch, we’ll hug a small road leading up to the mountain top along side a sea of corn terrace and

look yonder at the H’Mong valley and their villages hiding under the peach and plum canopy.

+ 4:30 pm: We’ll go to our hotel. After 3 days of biking and riding and off-road striving, we feel that you

deserve a bit of luxury. We’ll stay in a 4 star hotel in Moc Chau township, to regain our strength for the next

part of our North-West Vietnam off-road exploration tour.

Day 4: Moc Chau – Son La: 200km/ 8 hours ( B,L,D)

Accommodation: 4 star Hanoi – Son La hotel

+8:30 am: We could start our off-road north loop trail earlier depending on the weather. We’ll have our

breakfast and coffee at the hotel. A good breakfast is vital for our ride ahead!

Checking out of the hotel, we’ll follow National Highway 6 for 10 km to get out of town,Before starting a new

experience at Northern Vietnam motorbike tours. Waiting to be conquered is 70 km worth of dirtroad, which

has been trampled and ploughed daily by herds of smaller trucks carrying heavy cargo, making it that much

harder to navigate during rain season. This off-road route is one worth conquering for all riders alike, a great

challenge that comes with a deserving reward: staggering scenery that will leave you wondering “Duuude!

Where the flock are we?”

+1:30 pm: After hours of climbing up and down and up mountain sides again, during which we will

undoubtedly have to push and pull each others’ bikes up skywards slippery slopes, we’ll stop for lunch at a

side-road restaurant.

After a hearty meal, we’ll ride on on dry stream bed during dry season and ascend up-hills, climb over a

mountain or two, before crossing a bamboo bridge and joining National Highway headed towards Son La

city.One day experience North west motorbike tours other real with north east motorbike tours.

+6:00 pm: Arriving at Hanoi - Son La hotel, we’ll wrap up a trying 4th day on our emotionally and physically

challenging off-road tour!

Day 5: Son La – Muong La- Che Tao- Mu Cang Chai: 190 km / 7 hours ( B,L,D)

Accommodation: homestay at Tay ethnic stilt house

+8:30 am: We’ll have breakfast and coffee at our homestay before getting on with our daily road-conquering

and challenge-triumphing.

Starting off with an easy 10 minute warm-up ride through the city, we’ll then turn into some light off-road

routes mixed with back-road to explore Son La hydroelectric power dam - the biggest hydroelectric dam in

South East Asia, built over the great Da river.

+12:00 pm : Lunch at a local restaurant.

+1:30 pm: Our afternoon route is one of 4 great Death-zones for off-road bikers in Vietnam, which is why it is

worth exploring! You’ll experience 4 extremes of Vietnam off-road: Extremely impressive, extremely

dangerous, extremely magnificent, and extremely tough.

+5:40 pm: Arriving at our homestay, ending the 5th day with, hopefully, triumph and victory in our exhausted

smiles!!!

Day 6: Mu Cang Chai- Tu Le: 80km / hours (B,L,D)

Accommodation: standard hotel in Tu Le

+8:30 am: We’ll hit the Off road Vietnam Motorbike Tours but not before treating ourselves to a hearty

breakfast with coffee prepared by our Tay host.

If you think your 6th day is going to be a bit easier, you’re technically right. We’ll ride shorter distance, but

with the same toughness and amazement!

+12:00 pm: Light lunch at a local restaurant.

After that we’ll explore the rice terrace valley of Mu Cang Chai and Tu Le from a completely different

viewpoint: more wholesome, magnificent and impressive. Our off-road route will take us through the forest,

across pristine streams and creaks, and quiet villages completely hidden from tourists in which people barely

even speak Vietnamese.

+4:30 pm: We’ll arrive at our hotel at the center of Tu Le district, ending our 6th day on our off-road Vietnam

motorcycle tour at beer time! You can freely wander the charming valley right under Khau Pha pass on your

own time, or laze around in your hotel room recharging your energy for the next adventure!

Day 7: Tu Le - Vu Linh (Thac Ba Lake), 200km/ 8 hours (B,L,D)

Accommodation: homestay with Dao ethnic

+8:30 am: As usual we start our Off road Touring when we have our fully decked out breakfast, pack our stuff

and hit the road. We’ve had our rest the previous day with a shorter ride and fairer roads, so we’ll get back on

the tough and rough route with more than 200 km riding distance and 80% off-road.

We’ll take a leisure ride along the big road out of town and take it easy for about 15km, before turning into a

really tough 30km ride. This is a footpath connecting different villages between mountains and forests,

stretching from one district to another within Yen Bai province. We will witness views we’ve never seen before

on our tour. At the end of this off-road route, we face Van Chan hydroelectric dam. The only way across is to

take bamboo raft across, one bike at a time.

+12:30 pm: we’ll stop for a light lunch.

After lunch, we’ll do another 70km of lighter and easier off-road.

+3:30 pm: We’ll continue on through a mix off on and off-road route cutting through forests after forests of

cinnamon.

+6:00 pm: We reach Vu Linh, check in at our homestay: a small rustic house right by the vast and beautiful

Thac Ba Lake, ending our 7th day with so much more experience and emotions than at the start of our North

West VIetnam off-road motorbike tour!

Day 8: Vu Linh (Thac Ba Lake) 180km/ 6 hours (B,L,D)

Tour end: BM’s tour office

+8:30 pm: A big breakfast after a night full of rice wine (dubbed ‘bliss liquid’), but this will not be a sign of

an easy end-day as we make our way back to Hanoi!

We rode Off road Vietnam Motorbike Tours when we started out, and you bet we will ride off-road when we

return! Right after bidding our hosts goodbye, we’ll plunge right into various off-road routes circling villages

in Vu Linh, passing forests and rivers and streams and tea covered hills for about 30km, before ferrying our

way to the other side of Lo river and hugging the bank towards Hanoi.

+12:00 pm: Lunch at a beautiful local restaurant on the earthen dam right by the river.

After lunch, we’ll continue along Lo river, till it meets the famous Red river and follow this giant watery

python all the way back to Hanoi. We have roughly 70km left till Hanoi, and more than half of it will be off-

road. Once more, you will have the opportunity to observe the everyday Nothern famers go about their quiet,

simple life along the sides of Red river.

+4:00 pm: Ending our adventure safely and soundly at BM tour office, wrapping up an eventful, challenging,

and fruitious 8 day 7 night North-Western Vietnam off-road motorbike exploration tour!
