Tour itinerary
We will set off the motorbike tour by taking the motorbike from the store located in the outskirt of the busy city. After being explained carefully about the itinerary of motorbike tours North Vietnam and enjoy the breakfast, we will ride motorcycle from the west side of the city and move along the Red River. The roads are not hard for motorbike touring. We will reach Thac Ba Lake first and then head up on the rugged path to Vu Linh, the home of many Dzao indigenous people on the side of lake. Our northern Vietnam motorbike touring team will stay in the homestay of Dzao people for the 1st night of the trip.
After the breakfast, our motorcycle tour Northern Vietnam crew continues to ride along Thac Ba Lake on a bumpy road, shadowed by the line of trees on 2 sides and naturally decorated by the massive mountains. You also can see the life of local ethnic people, whose life mainly lean on the mountain ranges and forests. This motorbike riding part could be the best of the whole Motorbike tour Northern Vietnam.
We will come to Ha Giang city, where we take the rest for 1 night and ask for the permission to ride along the border.
Coming to the 3rd day, you will have a extremely fascinating riding day with northern Vietnam motorbike tours. Having taken the permission yesterday, we can ride along the border areas with Chinese, where you will surely be stunned by the wild beauty of nature. Riding motorbike through the winding mountain passes, you will have the most relaxing and enjoyable of the whole motorbike touring Northeast Vietnam.
We ascend to the Ma Pi Leng mountain pass, another incredibly stunning masterpiece of nature in the northwest motorcycle trip, with the panoramic view down to Nho Que River. It is not the end of fantastic things when we keep riding to Dong Van plateau, a remote area in Ha Giang with many hill tribes on the rugged monoliths. There is a range of ethnic minorities such as Dzao, Giay, H’mong. You will be surprised by their ambition and vitality to conquer the hardest conditions.
When we come to Dong Van town, you can admire the ancient town dating back for the long time with many old houses built with clay bricks and tiles roofs.
The North Vietnam motorcycle tours today will be more marvelous for one night stay in the traditional house (or mini hotel, optionally) in Meo Vac. Just enjoy your relaxing night to try local foods and drinks after an intensive riding with motorcycle ride to the Northern Vietnam.
On the 4th day, all the motorcyclists in our crew will have to cross many tough roads which are still under construction and full of stagnant holes. However, the payback is really worthy when you can take a look at the wild glorious scenery of the northern Vietnam areas on the back of motorbike. It is another highlight of Vietnam motorbike tours.
After the long riding in the North of Vietnam, we will have a rest in Bao Lac town. This town is near the border so it is like the junction point of many ethnic groups to gather here and conduct trading activities in market. If you come here on Sunday, you can see the true beauty of a mountainous market.
This morning visit a village of Lo Lo people, a small ethnic group living high up on the mountain who have preserved their original culture, including their colorful, intricate traditional clothing and wooden stilt houses. Next continue on towards Bản Giốc, riding through beautiful countryside before reaching the resort at Bản Giốc.
SLEEP: Resort at Bản Giốc
In the morning, visit Bản Giốc waterfall, the fourth largest national border waterfall in the world and sourced from Quây Sơn River. This peaceful river starts in China and carves its way through rugged karst mountains before cascading down a series of dramatic falls into Vietnam. Both Vietnam and China enjoy the benefits of this majestic natural wonder.
Next, take a short drive to a nearby pagoda before walking up to a viewpoint where you can see a panoramic view of the entire waterfall and over to China and the Quây Sơn River.
After that, explore nearby Nguom Ngao Cave, a 2,700-meter cave that was created over millions of years and today features beautiful, unique stalagmite and stalactite formations not found in other caves in Vietnam. Listen to the roaring sounds created by an underground stream running over the rocks below, and you’ll understand why the local Tày people named this Tiger Cave. Travel on to Ba Bể Lake.
In the last day with Vietnam motorbike tours, we have to start earlier than other days for the long riding from Northeast Vietnam back to Hanoi. It will be challenging but what nature can offer to you on the way is worth every hour you spend on riding. We will reach Ha Noi before the rush hour, roughly 4 pm and finish the motorcycle tour in North Vietnam, specially tailored by Vietnam Motorbike Tour team.
