Mai Chau Cycle Tour 2 Days

Embark on an exhilarating and authentic 2-day Mai Chau Cycle Tour from Hanoi, meticulously crafted by Golden Trail Travel to offer an immersive escape into the breathtaking landscapes and vibrant cultures of Northern Vietnam. This private cycling trip is designed for adventurers eager to combine invigorating rides with profound cultural immersion, leading you through stunning valleys, past verdant rice fields, and into the heart of traditional ethnic communities. From the moment your cycling team meets you at your Hanoi hotel, you'll be set for an unforgettable journey.

Your scenic journey begins with a comfortable car transfer from Hanoi to Mai Chau, specifically to Pom Coong village. This allows you to bypass city traffic and immediately immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of the valley. Upon arrival, you'll mount your bike and begin your exploration, cycling gracefully around the expansive Mai Chau valley. This stunning ride takes you through a mosaic of emerald rice fields and past charming local Thai hamlets, offering continuous picturesque views. You'll encounter unique features like natural hot springs and cross intriguing suspension bridges, all while following the natural contours of the magnificent terraced rice fields. The ride on Day 1 is described as truly breathtaking, connecting you intimately with the landscape and its people. Your journey leads you to Cun Pheo village, where the afternoon is free for you to explore on foot or by bike, soaking in the serene rural atmosphere. The day culminates with a delicious dinner and an authentic overnight stay at a local homestay, providing a genuine connection with the local culture and hospitality.

Day 2 promises a more invigorating and challenging ride, rewarding your efforts with awe-inspiring views. After a hearty breakfast, you'll embark on a relatively easy 7-kilometer bike ride over gently undulating terrain before the trail begins its climb. This route includes some steep uphill sections, pushing your limits but offering unparalleled perspectives. As you ascend, you'll gain breathtaking views from above the valley, looking down upon tiny small hamlets nestled amidst the rolling hills and the surrounding pristine forest. A well-deserved siesta stop in a traditional Thai village house provides a perfect respite from the heat, allowing you to relax and enjoy the tranquility before tackling the final few kilometers to the top of the pass. The grand finale of your cycling adventure is an exhilarating eleven-kilometer downhill cruise back to Mai Chau, a thrilling descent that truly caps off your journey. Finally, a comfortable bus will pick you up for your return transfer to Hanoi, arriving in the late afternoon, concluding your memorable 2-day Mai Chau cycle tour.
