Unlike most tour operators who would choose the new Ho Chi Minh trail in Vietnam, we’ll take you through the old route Westwards across the Ke Bang forest in the Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park. This trail was carefully concealed during wartime to avoid US and South Vietnam troops. Throughout 200 km, you will scarcely see people, let alone bikes. You might, instead, spot a few wild animals, pristine forest land, and paramount mountains. Once we clear the forest, we’ll arrive at the former US army base in Khe Sanh.
