1: Hanoi - Nghia Lo - Great Starting Point

We need to check the condition of our motorbikes and luggage before taking the first steps. The group said goodbye to dear Hanoi and traveled 250km to go to Nghia Lo.

This first route is like a gentle start because the road is quite nice and flat. At the end of the first day, Nghia Lo welcomes you with a mountainous landscape with a poetic town. 

2: Ride To Than Uyen

On the second day of the journey, you will start moving to conquer the bumpy and unspoiled roads at Lung Lo pass. 

Next, you start enjoying the Mu Cang Chai mountain range with the most impressive height in this place because it is almost as high as Fansipan peak. After going through a trip of about 180km, the team rests at a homestay. 

3: Explore Than Uyen Before Coming To Sapa

The whole distance you have to cross this third day will be 140km. "Than Uyen" is probably an attractive place for those who love to explore the nation's beauty because it converges ethnic groups such as Dzao, Hoa, and H'mong. Following the moment of enjoying the looks at Than Uyen, we will be heading to SaPa. 

4: Admire The Beauty Of Sapa

There is nothing better than having a whole day to embrace all the magnificence in Sapa. Traveling by motorbike is the perfect choice when exploring hilly areas like Sapa, and that's why this tour is so popular.

The whole group had just conquered each road, looked at the terraced fields, and just went to explore the Hoang Lien Son Range. This mountain range has a Fansipan peak with an altitude of up to 3,143m and is the highest peak in Indochina. 

Along with the "terrible" height of Fansipan, flora and fauna in this place are extremely diverse. Not only that, we lead you to visit Muong Hoa valley, a pretty beautiful place at the foot of the eastern mountain.

5: Leave Sapa And Go To Bac Ha

On the 5th day of this journey, you will experience 100km to reach Bac Ha. This roadblock is also an attractive trip with the majestic scenery of mountains and hills. When coming to Bac Ha, you will rest here to regain strength after four days of the ride. 

6: Continue To Ha Giang

Good morning fresh on the sixth day of the tour. Today, the journey is slightly longer than the previous days because you have to cross about 200km to get to Ha Giang. Although there is a bit of a challenge on the way, the experiences that nature brings will make you feel delighted.

7: Enjoy The Ride To Dong Van

Before conquering each road and stunning scenery at Ma Pi Leng Pass, we need to get a permit to move motorbikes in the border area from the Ha Giang Immigration Police. You will feel overwhelmed by the majestic and poetic scenery at Ma Pi Leng pass. 

The feeling of surprise does not stop there when the poetic Nho Que river appears, making you feel fluttering in your heart. Indeed, 180km to experience the quintessence of nature while approaching Dong Van will be the most meaningful trip in our lives. 

8: Dong Van - Bao Lac

The motorbike trip on this eighth day is relatively short, but the sight is still something that makes you feel extremely excited. Coming to Bao Lac, you will discover the fairs of many ethnic groups. After a day of moving and enjoying, it's time to relax at the homestay.

The roadway near the end of the tour can be an interesting challenge, and you will have to go up to 240km on this 11th day. The first moments of this new journey will take you to the old French colonial war scene. You will feel this unique feature through villages called That Khe and Dong Khe. 

Lang Son welcomes you with a late afternoon, but this is also an opportunity to feel this place's beauty deeply. We take the first step down to the main market or Nhi Thanh and Tam Thanh caves before resting at the hotel.
