The Best Ha Noi's Southern Cycling Holiday

After breakfast, we say goodbye to the host, ride from the homestay, travel through Ban Lac, follow the well-maintained paths, and enjoy local work on farms lush green of the valleys to Poom Coong, and Lac villages: pass by kindergarten and primary schools along the way. We stop at Ban Lac, a new destination and an excellent place for a beaten-path experience cycling, and immerse in the traditional cultures and modern lifestyle of a tribal community. 

Then we turn onto the dirt tracks, pass remote villages along Ma River to Road 15, and ride to Phu Thanh—lunch en route to Pu Luong. We challenge some hills on the winding road to Pu Luong, through forested jungles, encounter breathtaking views, and enjoy the spectacular mountains, sometimes lush rice-terraced paddies along sleepy rivers. 

Begins the day with a delightful breakfast before a short transfer along a quiet rural road leading to the Kho Muong village gate. From here, begin your scenic ride into vibrant local villages, where you’ll admire lush terraced fields, traditional stilt houses, rolling hills, and gently undulating forests.

Descend into a serene green valley, then turn onto charming S-shaped paths that wind to Don Village. Dong Village is one of the terrific locations to offer stunning views, valleys, and mountain ranges. It's the home of the Thai ethnic minority, including nearly 100 traditional stilt homes. Early morning is a beautiful time to explore the village and local lifestyles and enjoy views of natural beauty surroundings.

Spend time on experiencing the life of villagers. Continue cycling over softly undulating hillsides and down into another peaceful valley, where you’ll visit a local workshop and discover the traditional process of producing Can wine, a unique cultural specialty of the ethnic tribes.

Along the way, enjoy frequent, enriching stops to visit welcoming local homes, where villagers craft their traditional costumes and intricate handicrafts. Pedal onward beside a tranquil river, through fertile farms and emerald rice paddies, until you reach Lang Tom
 

After visiting the market, we continue cycling through sugarcane and corn farmlands, sometimes along the rivers, and cross some bridges, travel along the Nam Ma River to Ho Chi Minh Trails. Lunch en route to Cuc Phuong Park. We will have a transfer to Cuc Park in the late afternoon.

We begin the final day’s ride with a scenic transfer to the heart of the park, where we immerse ourselves in a lush, tranquil forest by bike. After 19 km of gentle cycling through the verdant national park, we visit the inspiring Endangered Primate Rescue Center, home to some of Vietnam’s rarest wildlife.

Continuing onward, we cross the picturesque Dong Giao region over another 10 km, riding through vibrant rural villages and peaceful countryside. The morning journey totals approximately 28 km of rewarding, nature-filled cycling.

We then enjoy a comfortable transfer to Tam Coc for a delicious local lunch. In the afternoon, experience a serene rowed boat ride, gliding through three enchanting caves beneath towering mountains, surrounded by emerald rice paddies and dramatic limestone karsts.

Finally, we conclude with a relaxing transfer back to Hanoi in the late afternoon, bringing an unforgettable journey to a perfect close.
