The cycling adventure begins in Pleiku, from coffee and tea plantations through the fantastic countryside to volcanic hills, sea lakes, and tribal villages before we venture onto the remote villages of Mang Den. The small town in Vietnam's Central Highlands region has an average temperature of 18 to 25 degrees Celsius. It is a perfect getaway for those who love unspoiled tourist destinations. You will immerse in pine forests, lovely waterfalls, hillsides, green valleys, and an idyllic rustic setting with winding paths down the coastal back roads to Hoi An.

Take a morning flight to Pleiku, meet the team, and transfer to a hotel in town. After lunch, we test all bikes, ride in the countryside, visit the Cathedral Pleichuet, dine with our guide in the city, do a tour briefing, and prepare for the following fantastic days.

After breakfast, we'll transfer to a rural village to explore the idyllic countryside, authentic villages, and Chu Dang Ya Volcano. The loop bike ride offers terrific scenery along the dirt tracks; see ox carts moving on rural roads and ethnic people looking at their cows and buffalos. We pass by many tiny villages with simple houses on the way to the hillside to observe the volcanic mountain hills and beautiful landscape settings. From the peak, we look over the town and sea lake we will bike to. We ride rolling the volcanic hills to enjoy the beauty of nature and the beautiful villages settled around with endless photo opportunities.

Afterward, we take a different smooth path and ride down the rice-terraced fields by the lake. We ride along the lake, looking over lively villages when we bike on the suspension bridge, cycle on the country road lined with pine trees, and stop at a vast, colorful pagoda by a tea plantation. Visit the pagoda, visit some local tea farms across the plantation, and to the local market, where you have a transfer to Kon Tum City for lunch.

After lunch, we visit the most significant wooden church in central Vietnam. We pick up the bike, then just about 3 km to cross the river to the rural village, where we keep biking to Kon'k Ri, Kon'k Tu, and Kon'K Lor ( Ba Na)Tribal villages. Visit Rong houses, simple agricultural tools, and traditional tribal music instruments before we ride on a suspension bridge to the Rong Houses of Konklor and Kon Ro Wang. We continue to undulate on the road to Mang Den.
