Day 1: Hanoi – Mai Chau. ~160 km, ~6 h.
Today is the first day of this standard NorthCentre 3 days motorbiking. To get out of Hanoi safely, 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. Finally, we start around 9.30am after rush hours. After about 30km, you will have a chance to test your riding skills by riding through a massive farming area to avoid the main road. It’s not so challenging and is really a cool way to leave town.
Once out of the Red River Delta, which brims with traditional farming activity, we pass through limestone monoliths and into foothills populated by Muong people. Then we head straight at the main range before breaching a high and beautiful forested pass, which descends into the hidden valley of Mai Chau where we spend the night with friends in a traditional Thai stilt house.

Day 2: Mai Chau – Phu Yen. ~150 km, ~6 h.
We go from Mai Chau to Moc Chau and then to the Da River. After crossing the reservoir of Da river by a ferry, we ride on a beautiful winding secondary road until Phu Yen where we stay in a guest-house.
If you want some off road tracks, we can do it in the afternoon as an option if the weather is good (no rain or not wet). This area offers dirt bike riders a chance to find out if you are ready to move to the next level of dirt biking as in the photo below.
