Embark on a journey through Vietnam’s storied past as we explore the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), a place that once marked the divide between North and South Vietnam during the war. The area is rich in history, offering deep insights into the resilience and spirit of the Vietnamese people.

Next, we visit the former historical site of Rockpile Hill, a towering landmark once used as a strategic observation point by U.S. forces. From its summit, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding valleys and lush terrain — a reminder of both the beauty and the hardship this region has witnessed.

The route then leads us along the rolling hills near the Laos border, passing through stunning landscapes on the way to A Luoi, a quiet district known for its natural charm and ethnic minority communities.

Our journey concludes with a visit to the Nguyen Royal Tombs, magnificent examples of imperial architecture set amidst serene gardens and lakes. These tombs honor the emperors of the Nguyen Dynasty, blending artistry, spirituality, and history in a way that beautifully encapsulates Vietnam’s imperial legacy.
 

Depart from Hue at 7:00 am for a short vehicle transfer to Pha Tam Giang to begin the morning ride 35 km. We cycle on a quiet country road along the Tam Giang lagoon.  Enjoy the stunning landscape along the peninsula, views several tiny fishing boats on the lagoon, see water buffalos working on rustic farmlands, and pass some vibrant local markets. Take a right turn on the dirt track to the coast, through tiny hamlets with thatch houses, colourful temples, farmlands of many vegetables and sand dunes. From the south coast of Quang Tri, we have a transfer to Vinh Moc tunnels on the coast route via Cua Viet & Cua Tung. Lunch en route before exploring Vinh Moc tunnels. After we visit the tunnels, the temperature is cool, so that we will bike 20 km along the Cua Tung beach, then the tranquil Ben Hai River to the historic Hien Luong bridge. The landmark river was the 17 parallel-divided line of North and South Vietnam from 1954 to 1975. Visit the Hien Luong Museum and enjoy the walk on Hien Luong Bridge. Finally, have a transfer to Dong Ha city to check in the hotel and have dinner in town.
