Overview

Overview
With the help of Vietnam Backroads Bicycle Tours, we traversed 885 kilometers of varying gradient and varied scenery, passing through green rice fields, villages, valleys, and steep passes.
Our Vietnam Backroads Bicycle Tours start on the hilltop of Sapa Town and head into the frontier district of Muong Khuong in Lao Cai. From there, it's a difficult but exhilarating journey along the border belt road, where you'll see the daily lives of the Hil tribal people and Vietnamese people, as well as the beautiful and poetic scenery in the upper regions of the country.
We'll also keep riding through the valleys to the Hmong people's beautiful village, which is tucked away in an ancient forest where civilization hasn't yet reached.
We will cycle on to discover one of the worthy destinations we have been longing to see in far northeastern Vietnam.
With its attractions including Happiness Road, Dong Van Plateau, Khau Vai Love Market, Quan Ba Sky Gate, and enigmatic, majestic, winding routes, Ha Giang is the most picturesque place in the nation. H'mong people live in modest, uncomplicated villages far down the valley, hidden by heavy clouds.
Ha Giang, a region in northeastern Vietnam that is more than 200 kilometers from Hanoi and has stunning scenery, ancient forests, and tall mountains, is the last in the nation to welcome tourists. Steps form natural fortresses, and whimsical stone lanes split the rocky plateaus. The H Mong people have lived in this magnificent setting for many years.
The Ha Giang rocky plateau has several breathtaking and treacherous routes that are not only challenging for adventurers and thrill seekers but also "heartbreaking" for many due to their breathtaking beauty. The verdant vegetation along those roadways is ever-green and vibrant, presenting a striking view that evokes a range of feelings that are difficult to put into words.

Suitable for bikers who enjoy occasional weekend riding on trails at home. Push bikes are sometimes used for these itineraries.

Sometimes it can be long flat rides or medium ride with few up and downhill climbs. The support vehicle will not always be available. We will need a good level of fitness. We use either mountain bikes or road bikes for these itineraries.

There will be steep and sustained ascents and descents. The support vehicle will not always be available.
