Itinerary:
Day 1: Begin your Motorcycle Tour. Ride Hanoi - Mai Chau.
Leaving Hanoi and breaking out of the delta plains we pass through endless limestone karst scenery as we travel south
through “Perfume Pagoda” country and extensive farming lands comprising a sea of paddy fields split by tree-lined
roads. After a picnic lunch near Chi Ne, we visit the hot springs at Kim Boi, before striking northwest and over two
passes, finally dropping down to the mountain valley settlement of Mai Chau. Here we stay overnight with friends of
the White Thai minority in a traditional stilt house. In the evening, after feasting, we can enjoy a cultural show of Thai
dancing and a range of special local liquors. Overnight in Mai Chau.
Day 2: Continue your motorbike tour. Ride Mai Chau – Phu Yen.
We backtrack on the main a few kilometres before embarking on a new road which drops down the side of a huge
valley, steadily falling all the way back down to the Black River Reservoir. The 50 kilometres route has plenty of
challenging surface and is prone to landslides. Much of the area is inhabited by Kinh and both Black and White Thai
ethnicities. Depending on time we can complete another side road which rises up the opposite side of the valley,
offering impressive views over the area on a clear day. Just before the reservoir we breach a final steep ascent and
pass by communes of Dao people, before the descent to the banks of the reservoir and a ferry crossing. Once across
we follow the banks of the reservoir past village all relocated before the flooding of the valley. On easy dirt road we
approach the delta settlement of Phu Yen, set in the middle of a vast valley floor of paddy fields. Overnight in Phu Yen.
Day 3: Continue your motorcycle tour. Ride Phu Yen - Vu Linh.
We have two options : one takes us around the very end of the Hoang Lien Son mountain range, enjoying good riding
on winding sealed mountain roads; the other crosses over the very end of the range and takes us through untarnished
rain forest on challenging, rocky road. (The Hoang Lien Son mountain range is the main range of northwest Vietnam
and also includes the highest peak - Fansipan). From Ba Khe we continue on sealed road through renowned tea
growing areas, where the hillsides are literally covered in plantations, all the way to the city of Yen Bai which sits on
the Red River. From here it’s a short ride to the edge of Thac Ba Lake, also formed by the construction of
hydroelectricity dam in the 1970s. Overnight in homestay.
Day 4: Keep travelling by bike. Ride Vu Linh – Hanoi.
After breakfast we cruise southeast on Highway 2 and then branch off to the sleepy town of Phu Tho. We follow the
edge of the Red River along the dyke, almost to the point where it merges with the Black River after which they flow
together to Hanoi. By now we are very much in the lowlands of the delta plains and the north’s main agricultural
areas. Harvest time here is a sea of activity. Crossing the Red River by ThangLong bridge then return to Hanoi on the
highway.
