ITINERARY
The 3-day off-road Sapa motorbike tour via Thac Ba starts with a ride-along Love Road to get to Xin Man. It is not challenging to conquer this road. While controlling the motorcycle, you will see a lot of beautiful landscapes of terraced fields and vast forests. You also have some stops along the way, including Bac Ha market, Can Cau, Nhung Khau Nhin, and Cao Son. It will take you about two hours from Lao Cai to move to Bac Ha market. Coming here on Sunday mornings, you can discover the cultural activities of the Hmong and Red Yao people. There are many local products sold in the market. After shopping for a while, you go to a small restaurant and enjoy delicious local foods here, especially corn wine.
After 7 hours of taking a ride through difficult roads, you will reach Xin Man and experience the most stunning tourist attractions here. For example, Khuon Lung, covered with a peaceful atmosphere, includes many historical sediments of the Tay people. Here you cannot miss Na Rang village, where you can immerse yourself in the cultural space of 8 households with traditional construction. When the night falls, you will stay in a hotel in Xin Man for rest.
