ITINERARY
Your first day will be a motorbike journey from Hanoi to Mai Chau. In the morning, you will check in at the hotel in Hanoi for some preparations before starting the 170-km trip to Mai Chau. Going along Highway 6 is the fastest way to reach this destination. When riding your motorcycle through paths, you will have an occasion to admire the picturesque landscape of valleys combined with green rice fields and take some beautiful photos.
Before crossing Thung Khe Pass, Mai Chau, you stop your motorbike for a visit to the ancestral land of Muong people. After coming to Mai Chau, you spend time having lunch and relaxing. Then, you temporarily leave the motorcycle to walk along Ma River, where you can enjoy the countryside scenery as well as the village life of the White Thai. When the night falls, you arrive in a Thai town for dinner with the local dishes cooked by the host. Here you also taste the regional cultures through music exhibitions.
Summary:
Distance: 160 km
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals: Lunch, Dinner
You will start a new day with breakfast offered by the Thai host. After arranging the baggage, you continue with the exploration of Son La. The road of 200 km leads you through the local towns where you can discover the daily life of Hmong and Black Thai people. Along the way, you find a local restaurant for lunch before reaching the most scenic beauty spot here – Moc Chau tea plantation, which brings you the best relaxing moments beside the winding tea hills with aromatic tea spreading over the space. Finally, you will spend the night at the hotel in Son La.
Summary:
Distance: 200 km
Accommodation: Hotel

Before going on the motorcycle journey, you will enjoy a full breakfast. The next destination in your itinerary is Muong Lay. There will be three choices of the route from Son La to Muong Lay. For the first way, you go along Highway 6, which offers not too far distance while giving you a smooth ride. You can take a different road DT107, but it is noted that this one is not as smooth as the first one. The last option for you is the off-road trail, which is quite popular in motorcycle tours. It is a good suggestion for those who prefer challenging riding experiences.
After crossing the 200-km stretch of road, you stop on the way for a moment for relaxation at lunchtime before taking an excursion to Pha Din, with winding roads and sharp bends. You will reach the main destination – Dien Bien Phu on the third day in the evening. Visiting this historic site will enhance your excitement if you love history travels. At the end of the day, you will go to the hotel for some rest.

Spend time having a meal and taking some rest to add more power to the 150-km excursion to Lai Chau. Ride your motorbike along Nam Na River for the delight of enjoying nature. Dzao and H’ mong towns will be selected as stops for short rest on the way. You will arrive at Lai Chau in the early evening. Here you will eat some local food and have any interesting activities before staying overnight in the hotel.
Summary:
Distance: 150 km

It will be a great pity if you miss the opportunity to capture photos on the trip from Lai Chau to Sapa. The distance of 100 km will bring you a lot of memorable moments while you go through poetic streams, striking valleys, and towering mountains. Along the 25-mile way to Sapa, you will go past ChinCo, Tram Ton Passes, Thác Bạc (Silver Waterfall), Cổng Trời (Heaven Gate), and the unique destination, Fansipan, which is regarded as the top of Indochina. Sitting on the motorbike, you will reach Sapa when it gets dark. You will enjoy dinner, get involved in anything you like, and take overnight here.

From Sapa, you will move to Lao Cai, then visit Thac Ba lake, where you will go along and continue to cross the living area of Dao and Tay people before coming to Vu Linh Homestay for leisure.
