Itinerary

Day 1: Hanoi – Thac Ba lake

Leaving the hustle and bustle of Hanoi behind, we head toward the northeast to reach Thac Ba, the largest artificial lake in Vietnam. Accompanying you during the journey is an extremely friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, who has spent a lot of time riding through the country.

Instead of big and smooth paths, we recommend you choose a winding dyke road for more memorable experiences. Although it is a bit challenging to conquer, the impressive scenery of the Vietnamese countryside will be a worthy reward for your efforts. Feast your eye on the magnificent landscape of immense rice fields, poetic rivers, and rustic rooftops looming from afar before making a stop at a roadside restaurant to enjoy lunch and take a short rest.

In the afternoon, we continue to embark on stunning roads to Vu Linh – a pristine village of Dzao people located near Thac Ba Lake. Dubbed “Halong on the mainland”, Thac Ba attracts visitors with the splendid view of more than 1300 islands emerging on the surface of the lake. If time permits, we can take a boat trip to get closer to the lake before returning to Vu Linh village. The first day of the journey ends with a hearty dinner and a good night’s sleep at a local homestay.

Enjoy breakfast and say goodbye to the host before heading to Ba Be National Park. Today’s ride could be the most outstanding experience during your entire adventure to Vietnam. From asphalt paths to off-road trails through the forest – you will have the chance to conquer many types of terrain today.

For the best sightseeing experience, we choose the lesser-known roads that are risky to ride yet amazingly stunning. Immerse yourself in the beauty of peaceful villages surrounded by rice fields and lush forests until we reach Ba Be National Park.

Located in the national park, Ba Be is the largest natural lake in Vietnam, which is known as the green pearl of the north. With its charming natural beauty, Ba Be attracts a large number of tourists visiting each year. A boat trip will be the perfect choice for you to explore the caves, waterfalls, and rich ecosystems here.
