After riding through a small path with a stretch of forest on one side and orange gardens on the other side, you go along Highway 6, which will lead you to Hoa Binh province.

From Thung Khe, you take a winding road along the mountainside that runs through several villages and lakes to reach Ba Khan.  

Next, you go on a challenging trip to Go Lao waterfall. Before getting to this place, you have to ride your motorcycle through a bumpy and winding road with dangerous turning points. Around 5 p.m, you will reach Mai Chau town, where you will spend your first night.

From Mai Chau to Phu Yen, you will move a distance of about 140km.

It is noted that the road is quite narrow and includes several bends. When traveling in the rainy season, you need to be careful because the road can be wet and slippery.

Start your new day with a light breakfast in Nghia Lo before riding 140 km to Vu Linh. On the way, you will have a chance to explore the Ngoi Thia stream in Yen Bai. Due to the change in the stream bed, the terrain around it becomes rough and bumpy. Despite receiving enthusiastic support from our tour guide, you must be an experienced rider to pass this hardship.  

After crossing this stream, you leisurely enjoy the surrounding scenery while moving along the village streets. Along the road, you can pay a visit to some Thai and Dzao villages. You will arrive at Vu Linh at noon. Stop at a village near Thac Ba lake for lunch before doing some sightseeing around the lake. When the night falls, it’s time for you to taste the local foods and take a rest at a homestay here.
