This adventure will cover many types of terrain. We will ride through rice paddies, jungle tracks, water crossings, rustic villages, stunning highlands, and mud or dusty roads. As we wind our way up into the hills towards Lao we will encounter the home to the Co Tu minority. Here we take a break to visit one of the last remaining Co Tu before continuing our journey deep into the mountains. Our ride will take us through isolated villages where the culture and traditions remain untouched. By the time we have finished we will have made our way through this remote and staggeringly beautiful region which is home to one of the most authentic hill tribes remaining in Vietnam.
As we ride through rice paddies, we will see local farmers working in their fields before we travel over a 25km section of off Road Mountain trails that take us through isolated rural communities.
We will also ride through the photogenic Thu Bon river delta on a local ferry, capturing a glimpse of everyday rural Vietnamese lifestyles and head deep into the heart of Central Vietnam. Our trail takes us through a number of ethnic minority villages where we stay overnight.
Today’s drive crosses the historic Ho Chi Minh Trail, through lush forests and past jaw-dropping views of the central Vietnam Mountains. We will visit another village of ethnic Co Tu minorities where the culture and traditions remain untouched and onto one of the most authentic hill tribes to remain in Vietnam. Continuing the adventure on the HCM trail we traverse through lush forests with beautiful views of the central Vietnam mountains, and just when you thought it couldn’t get any more beautiful we arrive at a waterfall.
We then continue our adventure across the hills of Tea plantations, one of the specialties of Vietnam. Along the way you will see happy children waving to welcome you and while visiting the villages of ethnic minorities you will meet and talk to them. From here we shall go down a picturesque winding mountain road where we will ride across the “bamboo bridge” and see local farmers working in their fields. We will cap off our day enjoying magical views of the sunset and then head back to Hoi An.
