After breakfast, we leave Sapa town by vehicle and begin our cycling adventure on smooth, undulating roads that wind through lush hill farms. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking mountain views and conquer a few small hills as we pass the scenic Silver Waterfalls and arrive at the famed Sapa Heaven Gate. From here, take in the spectacular natural beauty of Fansipan Peak and the dramatic mountain passes of the Hoang Lien Son Range, the highest in Northern Vietnam.

We then enjoy a thrilling descent along winding roads to Tram Ton Pass, continuing onward to Binh Lu. From here, we go off-road, cycling along small gravel paths through charming tribal hamlets inhabited by the Thai ethnic group. This stretch offers magnificent views of jungle-clad hills and rolling terrain dotted with plum orchards and remote villages, with lunch en route.

After about 13 km of rugged trails, we rejoin National Road 32, cycling through a landscape of green farmland and mountain scenery with mostly downhill gradients toward Tan Uyen. We continue on smaller backroads, skirting the mountain range, and delve deeper into the lives of the Thai and Mong tribes, riding past lush rice terraces and traditional homes. We conclude today’s ride at a vibrant rural market before transferring to Than Uyen for the night.
