Following lunch, enjoy a guided walking tour, explore the Old Quarter of Ha Noi, and experience the hustle and bustle of the 36 ancient commercial streets named after products. After dinner, your bike guide will accompany the group, board a night train to Lao Cai.
 

Arrive Lao Cai train station early this morning. The team will load your luggage on support vehicles and take you to a local restaurant for breakfast. Be ready for the ride after a short transfer to the rural district of Lao Cai. Then gear up and start rolling hills, undulate on gentle hills through farmlands on the sealed road DT154, passing tiny tribal villages, and speed up some little passes, view breathtaking scenery on the way to the Coc Ly. Then we resume riding on small roads, climb up some small hills, and enjoy the stunning views of mountains and valleys covered in clouds, where are countless photo opportunities, before riding to Bao Nhai Bridge and turning off to Bac Ha town. Upon arriving at the hotel, check-in and explore the city independently for the rest of the day.

Today, we start with a short transfer out of Bac Ha town, commence the day on the road DT153 to Lung Phin, cycling along hillsides, pass tribal villages, and view the incredibly picturesque landscapes between Ha Giang and Lao Cai provinces. From Lung Phin, ride off-road in the mountain on a wide track to peak passes and sometimes long asphalt downhill to Xin Man. Experience the local life in remote parts- a homeland of local ethnic groups; Nung, the Flower Hmong, the Tay, and the Ha Nhi tribes. Enjoy every minute on today' ride; breathtaking view of the Hoang Su Phi terraced fields, a national heritage, and one of the most beautiful landscapes in Vietnam. Stay a night in Thong Nguyen, Hoang Su Phi

Today is another great ride as an adventurous journey. From PanHou Village, follow the small gentle back roads along the winding river, mountain-covered jungles. There is plenty of time to meet locals walking along the way, see tribes look after their buffaloes on lush farmlands, and see locals working on narrow shaped-rice fields along the sleepy rivers. The routes are fascinating, with some challenging passes and incredible mountainous scenery. Resume cycling until the paths join the road-sealed DT177, and prepare to gear up for the heaven gate pass; as speeding up to the top, we’ll feel we are on top of the world. Hoang Su Phi is one of the areas of outstanding natural beauty and unspoiled traditional life. It is also the removed East-West region of Vietnam. Most of the ethnic groups are still using traditional ways of cultivating rice plants. Afterward, continue riding rolling hills and cycle on winding roads through tiny villages, more down than up until the road joins Highway 2/QL2.  Turn left, and keep biking forward to Ha Giang. Have a transfer to Ha Giang town in the late afternoon.

From Ha Giang, we cross the river in town, enjoy riding on the back roads, immerse ourselves in the vibrant atmosphere, and explore the jungle forest on the gentle country road. We then descend the lush fields, with warm greetings from the locals along the way until we reach the QL43. We turn right and speed up moderately, passing about 8km before we undulate alongside the rivers. We pass many scenic valleys and beautiful villages until we turn left, following the DT176, with lunch en route to Du Gia. In the afternoon, the routes offer stunning landscapes adorned with mountains, beautiful cliffs, and lush valleys. This is one of your numerous opportunities to take photos and meet colorful tribes.

After a leisurely breakfast, enjoy seeing the daily activities of Tay and H'mong Enthnic in the Du Gia village. Ready for Lung Ho viewpoint? The romantic, peaceful landscape in remote villages surrounded by conical mountains in the distance, stop by the side road, visit the ruin of a French watchtower, bases and resume undulating the hillside to Mau Due on a winding road that zigzags its way up the mountainside before we turn left on the back roads to Yen Minh where we break for lunch.

Following lunch, continue the cycle onward to Dong Van ancient town. After 10km from Yen Minh, we'll gear off for one of the famous Tham Pha Pass, which, at an elevation of 1500 meters above sea level, is a scenic mountain road that challenges all cyclists. Then, we enter the Dong Van Geological Park, the world's second-largest and Southeast Asia's second-largest after the Langkawi Geological Park in Malaysia. The plateau offers an incredible and fascinating landscape. Enjoy the winding mountain roads, passing ethnic villages to buck flower fields before a descending ride to Dong Van Town. Check in the hotel. Spend the rest of the day wandering, exploring the ancient town.

From Dong Van Ancient town for a few km, we then speed up on the winding road to Ma Phi Leng- skywalk. The most beautiful part of the day is riding rolling hills, viewing breathtaking mountain landscapes, and challenging one of the most magnificent Ma Phi Leng Passes before we take a boat ride on the Nho Que River. The river offers peaceful landscapes with sky-high mountains but gorgeous mountain ranges so deep that the canyon walls make you thump. After the boat ride, we'll meet our support vehicles to transfer to Meo Vac town to check in at a hotel. Spend the rest of the day exploring the city until dinner.

Meo Vac is a little town whose market is busy on Sundays because White Hmong, Tay, and Lo Lo hill tribes usually come for the Sunday market. The roads to Bao Lac are winding mountains, rolling hillsides, along rivers, and alongside vast valleys. The region offers beautiful landscapes, remote villages, rock formations, and lush valleys. From the hotel, we cycle uphill a few km, then enjoy a descent onto flat roads. Along the way, we will pass tribal villages and meet local people dressed in vibrant tribal costumes. 

Today, we can wander along the border belt—China's border—where vibrant tribes live in stilt houses along mountains and hillsides. The day will allow us to discover unexploited mountainous regions and see the ordinary life of colorful tribes along scenic roads. There will be many stops on the way; view the serene landscapes, vast valleys filled up with lush farmlands, and colorful rice-terraced fields, and enjoy the most outstanding picturesque of Khau Coc Cha and Ta Nenh Passes when you conquer and immerse in the natural beauty of Cao Bang. We'll challenge the last pass in the afternoon and descend to Thong Nong town. Continue undulating on the back roads to the rural district and have a transfer to Cao Bang City.

Bac Son Valley is where we'll cycle to and stay the last night of the trip. It is the hidden gem of Lang Son province. It offers incredible high mountains- Na Lay, where locals and tourists love viewing the dotted scenic landscape. The valley has many rustic villages, home to Nung, Dao, and Tay Ethnic living in stilt houses of the lush rice paddy surrounded by conical mountains.

It's a long way to Bac Son, so your guide will cut off some and choose the best routes for today's adventures. We'll transfer about 1 hour and 45 minutes to That Khe. Pick up the bikes, roll onto remote villages on winding mountain roads to the summit, and view the majestic mountain ranges, then enjoy a descending ride to a little town, continue undulating along hillsides, lush farmlands, and sometimes along rivers to Binh Gia. After lunch in the town, we'll have a short transfer to Bac Son Valley and check in at the local homestay.
