Amazing Motorcycle Tour In The Northwest / Sapa

After meeting your guide we head out of Hanoi to Hoa Binh. The first day is a difficult day but for us the first day ride to Pu Luong is the highlight of this motorbike tour. We branch off onto smaller roads that wind through the hills and villages to meet the Black River (much more beautiful than it sounds!). We can enjoy an interesting motorcycle tour in North Vietnam through some peaceful villages on the backroads that offer you amazing views of green mountains and rice fields.

In the afternoon we hit the trails and carve through the forests to our destination of Pu Luong Valley. Tonight, we stay in a stilted house with a local family. It’s a beautiful setting that feels a world away from the city we left behind this morning! Enjoy a stroll around the village before enjoying the incredible feast put on by the local family.

All options are dominated by the crest of the enormous Fans pan mountain range. The entire region is populated by Hmong, Giay, Tay and Dao people.

Today’s road trip will cost you a distance of 220 km. The plan for the 5th day of Off-road Northern Vietnam Motorbike Tours – 6 Days towards Northwest regions is to ride from Sapa down to Lao Cai city and meet the Chinese border region. The interesting thing when visiting Vietnam – China border is the busy scene of exchanging goods between people in the two countries. The coffee here is another plus point as it has good taste at a low price. Along the way, it is common to see some remote villages and local markets there, our team will pass a lake named Thac Ba.

From there, we follow a small road that has two sides of palm trees, together with great mountains. Ride for more few kilometers; the road becomes better and larger with beautiful views.

After breakfast, we walked around Thac Ba Lake and traveled back to Ha Noi.

Our modest convoy traveled through dozens of remote towns filled with happy, waving children, knee-deep rivers to cross, and thin mountain routes to climb and descend, we will pass through a green tea plantation. We promise it will be a part of your best off-road Vietnam Motorcycle Adventures.
