Get a taste of the natural beauty and authentic culture of Northwest Vietnam with this 2 days, 1 night tour featuring distinct karst landscapes, untouched jungles and romantic river valleys in rural regions that remain less touristic.
Day 1: Hanoi – Mai Chau (170Km/ Approx. 6 Hours) (L/D)
We depart from Hanoi and, with the river as our companion, we head north to Long Ho Lake. On the way, you can admire the enthralling scenery, comprised of small islands crowned with tall evergreen trees and endless limestone peaks that provide an ideal combination of peace and wilderness in perfect balance.
Our ride continues up north and goes on giving us breathtaking views, as we ride on smooth, flat road until we reach Mai Chau in the afternoon. You can take some time to wander around the place, get to know the way oaf life of white Thai people and explore the village a bit more , just before dinnertime.
After enjoying your dinner with a lot of different Vietnamese traditional food, drink some happy water (rice wine),then you have the opportunity to watch a local performance show, the Thai Dance music show with traditional Thai music, or alternatively, go straight to your Thai tilt house and have some good night’s rest!
Day 2: Mai Chau – Hanoi (150km/approx. 5 Hours) (B/L)
Today, we head back to Hanoi from a totally different and equally fascinating route. As we ride east north, we will go past the famous Thung Khe pass, and all the way to the city of Hoa Binh, Vietnam’s largest hydroelectric power station (and probably the largest in South Asia, too). With minor exceptions of a handful of bends along the way, the ride today will be easy, and take you from the highland Vietnam to the Hoa Binh, the Da River(black river) and finally back to Hanoi. Depending on your mood and likes, we can either head straight back to Hanoi (where the trip ends), or challenge ourselves with this suggested (longer) tour, and see more of this fascinating country! You make the calls!
