The Train arrives at Lao Cai Train station at 5: 30 am. Our cycling guides and support vehicles will pick you up at the local restaurant for an early breakfast, change your cycling clothes, and be ready to rock and roll.

Following the hearty meal is a short transfer to a rural village; we begin our pedal to Coc Ly on a paved and scenic road. You will explore panoramic sightseeing and exotic nature on the way. Arriving in Coc Ly at 10 am, it's the right time we spend time participating in the local market, which opens every Tuesday. The colorful hill tribe market is where many tribes exchange with each other by dealing with what they have at the market; colorful traditional customs, agricultural bamboo tools, farm products, etc. The tribes also trade animals such as cows, dogs, big cats, and buffalos if they are valued or cost the same. Afterward, we continue the day on the dirt track to Bao Nhai Bridge and follow the road to Bac Ha town. Do check in and relax on your own.

Depending on your departure date, the itinerary will change to see the tribal market in action, and we might ride in the morning or the afternoon. (Optional cycling trip to Bac Ha on Sunday market.
