Day 1: Hanoi – Nghia Lo. ~180 km, ~7 h.
Today is the first day of this 6 days North-Centre Vietnam Motorcycling. Before starting to ride, we will have a short briefing to let you know about the rules. In addition, the guide will show you how to understand him by his body language. We start around 9.30am after the rush hour.
In general, you ride on an easy drive on a sealed road. Ride through rural areas with beautiful rice fields along the way.

Day 2: Nghia Lo – Than Uyen. ~140 km, ~6 h.
In fact, the road is wild and bumpy. Between Sapa and Hanoi, we will find an important mountainous massif, almost as high as the Fansipan: the Mu Cang Chai. From the top, we have one of the most beautiful views of North Vietnam.

Day 3: Than Uyen – Sapa. ~120 km, ~5 h.
Walk/ stroll in the morning. Then ride direction Sapa.

Day 4: Sapa – Trekking.
Sapa and Bac Ha are now quite touristy. However, we can trek to Ta Van village where is dominated by Giay people. We pass Lao Chai village on the way and lunch could be in Lao Chai, Ta Van, or wherever we want. The children will go together with you along the way. We stay O/N in a stilt house of a Giay family, which is basic and rough.

Day 5: Sapa – Luc Yen – Vu Linh. ~200 km, ~8 h.
We start the ride from Sapa to Luc Yen, then ride to Vu Linh in about 2 hours around the lake on a small road lined with palm trees and scenic mountain views. It will be dark already. The welcome is exceptional and we hope you will not be too tired.
