Explore Vietnam’s diverse terrains with safety and comfort

Vietnam Backroads offers expertly crafted cycling tours that take you through the country’s most breathtaking and diverse landscapes. Our routes are designed to showcase Vietnam's natural beauty while ensuring safety and comfort, tailoring the experience to the terrain and conditions of each region.

Smooth Country Roads and Coastal Beauty: Ride on well-paved, traffic-free country roads that wind through picturesque villages, long sandy beaches, peninsulas, lagoons, and mountain-framed coastlines. The minor roads are ideal for enjoying peaceful small towns and scenic bays, offering stunning views at every turn.

Challenging Mountain Climbs and Remote Paths: For more adventurous routes, travel through rolling mountains, hills, and dense rainforests far from the coast. These areas feature underdeveloped rural infrastructure, with dirt tracks leading to remote hamlets. In cases where paths are unsafe due to rocky terrain, landslides, or slippery conditions, our experienced guides will prioritize minor roads for your safety and comfort.

Flexible and Adaptive Guidance: Depending on the trip you book and the terrain encountered, your guide will adapt the route to ensure a seamless journey. Whether cycling through bumpy tracks or avoiding hazardous areas, your safety and enjoyment are always the top priority.

Northern Vietnam: A mountain biker's paradise

The rugged landscapes of northern Vietnam offer a cycling adventure like no other. With its mountainous terrain, tropical forests, and remote valleys, this region is a dream destination for those seeking challenging rides and breathtaking scenery.

Unique terrain and landscapes: Two-thirds of northern Vietnam’s mainland consists of dramatic mountain ranges, steep slopes, and deep valleys. Sparsely populated, this area is home to small towns, rural districts, and traditional hill tribe communities near the Laos and Chinese borders. Cyclists can traverse on-road and off-road routes, with gravel roads and dirt tracks serving as lifelines for locals navigating the rugged terrain.

Adventure on safe and scenic routes: While some rural dirt tracks are unsafe due to rocky surfaces, rivers, and steep mountains, our mountain biking tours prioritize safety by carefully choosing less-traveled minor roads and smoother highland paths. These routes allow riders to enjoy the tranquility and stunning vistas without the risks posed by challenging off-road tracks.

Immersion in local culture: Cyclists will pass through remote villages and interact with hill tribes, experiencing the unique culture of northern Vietnam. From misty valleys to towering peaks, every mile is an opportunity to connect with nature and heritage.
