Day 1: Hanoi – Nghia Lo. ~180 km, ~7 h.
Today is the first day of this Roof Roads 6 days Vietnam motorbike tour. 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.
This is, in fact, an easy ride on sealed roads. You ride through rural areas with beautiful rice fields along the road. In general, it is a nice and quiet cruising.

Day 2: Nghia Lo – Than Uyen. ~140 km, ~6 h.
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.
