It's an ideal way to connect with Vietnam's timeless traditions, serene landscapes, and spiritual heritage through an active and intimate experience.

Your adventure begins with a comfortable transfer from the bustling heart of Hanoi to the picturesque Duong Lam Ancient Village.

This close interaction with the environment and its people provides a unique perspective often missed by conventional tours.

A significant highlight of your biking journey is the visit to two of Vietnam's most historically and spiritually significant ancient pagodas. You'll first discover Thay Pagoda, nestled at the foot of Mount Sai Son. This revered 11th-century pagoda is famed for its traditional wooden structures, tranquil setting, and its connection to the revered Buddhist monk Tu Dao Hanh. Following this, you'll cycle to Tay Phuong Pagoda, an architectural masterpiece renowned for its extraordinary collection of exquisite wooden Buddha and Arhat statues carved in the 18th century, recognized as national treasures. At both sites, you'll have ample time to immerse yourself in their spiritual ambiance, appreciate their intricate artistry, and delve into their centuries-old histories.
