Itinerary

Day 1: Hanoi – Mai Chau (185 km)

Setting off from bustling Hanoi in the morning, we will first head for Mai Chau – a popular tourist attraction in Vietnam. This destination may not be something new to many people, but we bet that we can refresh your experience with exciting rural roads. The route we choose carries the typical beauty of the Northern mountainous areas.

Along the way, immense paddy fields and towering limestone mountains will consecutively appear. Such a scene can capture anyone’s attention, even those who have visited Vietnam before.

After 4 hours of going through long and rough roads, we get to Mai Chau valley at 5 p.m and complete our fantastic first day.

Day 2: Mai Chau – Phu Yen (175 km)

On the second day of the Northwest Vietnam motorbike tour, we will move from Mai Chau to Phu Yen. But before we reach Phu Yen, let’s see what Moc Chau can offer. The villages of Thai ethnic groups are probably the reason why so many tourists keep coming back to this highland. Local people here have good rice wine, delicious food, and fascinating traditions and customs. In their market, you can see these lovely candid people in their colorful clothes. Buying some souvenirs here is definitely a good way to remember this amazing trip.

As soon as you see Moc Chau Plateau, you will fall in love with it. The endless verdant tea hills, the lush peach gardens, and the vast flower fields with different colors are irresistibly charming. It will surely be a pity if you don’t take some photos here. These splendid sceneries are what Moc Chau is eager to show you. After spending enough time with the adorable Moc Chau, it’s time to go on to Phu Yen. On the way, we will together contemplate the breathtaking landscapes of the imposing mountains and Da River, which have kindled the imagination of many famous writers and poets in Vietnam.

Day 3: Phu Yen – Thac Ba lake (170 km)

The attractions of the Northwest Vietnam motorbike tour today will surely fill your memory with joy. From Phu Yen, we go on a bumpy ride to move toward Yen Bai city to have a good lunch before witnessing the grandeur of Thac Ba Lake. We know that you can’t wait to see Thac Ba Lake so we will visit it right after lunch. You are about to take a closer look at one of the three largest artificial lakes in Vietnam.

The size is not the only surprise. The majesty of a crystal clear lake with more than 1300 islets is undeniably admirable. Thac Ba Lake deserves the title of “Halong Bay of the Northwest”. A boat trip is a brilliant way to feel the complete allure of this attraction. The environs are equally ravishing with caves and temples.

After that, we will spend our night with Vu Linh Family. The third day should end up with a good sleep before we mount our motorbikes and return to Hanoi.

  • Distance: 170 km
  • Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 4: Thac Ba Lake – Hanoi (185 km)

A tasty meal with some strong coffee is more than enough to start the last day of our trip. It’s time to bid farewell to the magnificent landscapes of the Northwest and come back to the vibrant capital city. Two options are available from here: we can either ride smoothly on highways or take some dares from rural roads. But before you make your decision, we feel responsible for telling you that the sights along the Red River are genuinely captivating. If you want to have some artistic pictures of countryside life in the North of our country, then the latter choice is obviously worth it. Whatever you opt for, we will try to reach Hanoi city before the traffic gets crazy.
