Overview Of Tour
Only have a week in Vietnam? This compact departure squeezes the best of the Northeast into six days, and adds a proper off-road day — rocky tracks, river edges and a few sections that'll make you grin — between Bao Lac and Ba Be.
Trip facts: 6 days / 5 nights · ~1,000 km · Hanoi – Hanoi · Level: Moderate–Challenging (off-road day) · Price: from $1,225 per rider
Why ride it with AZ: less experienced on dirt? We'll coach you through the tricky sections — or route you round them on tarmac with the support vehicle.
Tour Highlight
- Thac Ba Lake homestay on night one
- The Dong Van plateau and Ma Pi Leng Pass
- A real off-road day through remote villages to Ba Be
- Time on the water at Ba Be Lake
