Although Mai Chau is a mountainous district, the road is not as bumpy as you might think. Along the two sides of the road, you will see rustic villages with typical architecture of stilts and wooden houses of the Muong and Thai ethnic groups.

Stop and enjoy lunch to learn about the unique culinary beauty of the ethnic people here. After that, you will continue to drive along Da river lake to enjoy the scenery.

This road is located between the rocky mountains winding along the Da river lake, bringing the feeling of "the sea in the mountains" to anyone on it. Even though there are several other ways to get to Mai Chau, we recommend you choose this route the most.

Option 1: Back To Hanoi On The Short Motorbike Tour

Continue the journey by walking around the valley and seeing rice fields and rustic stilt houses along the way. Then, you will reach Thung Khe Pass - one of Vietnam's most beautiful passes.

This road will lead you back to the main road to return to Hanoi. Just follow this road, and you will end your trip before rush hour.
