Overview Of Tour

Swap the chaos of Hanoi for a day of open countryside, ancient villages and mountain curves. This full-day ride takes you out through the green back-roads of the Red River Delta to the 400-year-old village of Duong Lam, up into the forested Ba Vi mountains, and back to the city — a perfect taste of real Northern Vietnam in a single day. You ride, our local guide leads, and our support mechanic follows as sweeper.

Tour Highlight

  • Escape the city on quiet delta back-roads within minutes
  • Explore Duong Lam — one of Vietnam’s oldest villages, with its laterite houses and communal halls
  • Ride the cool, twisting forest roads of Ba Vi National Park
  • A home-cooked Vietnamese lunch with locals
  • A full day of riding with a guide and support mechanic
