Upon arrival in Ha Noi, the group will gather and be transferred to a local bike store for bicycle checks, gear installation, and a detailed trip briefing. Afterward, enjoy a welcome lunch at a local restaurant in town.

In the afternoon, embark on a guided walking tour through the vibrant Old Quarter. Discover the charm of Ha Noi’s historic 36 streets, each traditionally named after the goods once sold there. Immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of this bustling commercial heart.

After dinner, your cycling guide will accompany the group as you board the overnight train to Lao Cai, ready to begin your adventure in the northern highlands the next day.
