Some of the greatest riding terrain in Vietnam can be found on the Northern Vietnam Bicycle Challenge track.
In the twenty-first century, Vietnam has become a wonderful place to go on outdoor excursions. It is endowed with a plethora of natural resources, including lush and infinite national parks, charming little towns, nature reserves, colorful hill tribal people, different ecosystems and species, and eco-friendly homestay families. Our bicycle route stays away from Vietnam's renowned highways and sees very few visitors. With its breathtaking karstic rock formations, thatched roof stilted homes, and mountains tucked between limestone outcrops, the Vietnamese environment is truly breathtaking. The majority of Vietnam's hill tribes are concentrated in this area.
A unique and exceptional way to experience Vietnamese daily life, learn about the long-standing culture of colorful tribes, and conquer some amazing passes winding along hillsides, mountain slopes, and hidden in misty valleys is to participate in our 5-day Northern Vietnam Bicycle Challenge Trail.
Riding a bicycle through an unspoiled area gives you the chance to come across people from hill tribes, visit their regular markets to see how they live, and take warm photos of dogs, cats, chickens, buffalo, and cows, among other animals.
