The land is teemed with wildlife, fauna and flora, ranging freely on untamed mountains, hills, ravines, and rivers. The roads there are also wild of various sizes and types running through different terrains. A real dreamland for bikers.

Day 1Hanoi - Vu Linh (Thac Ba Lake)

After enjoying breakfast with a cup of Vietnamese coffee, you move to the gathering point to start our 8-day North Vietnam Motorbike Tour. The first destination on this journey is Vu Linh – a small commune in Yen Bai district, which is home to Dzao ethnic minorities. To avoid rush hour, we will depart early at around 9 am. Today’s ride is quite long (180 km) that takes us about 7 hours to complete. Driving for hours is exhausting, but the greater the effort, the sweeter the reward, right? Our motorbike team will follow highways and single-track roads to Thac Ba Lake, which was created when Thac Ba hydroelectric plant was built on Chay River in Yen Binh district. The lake offers stunning scenery with over 1,300 islands, mostly covered in forests and clear water.

After taking some time to enjoy the beauty of Thac Ba lake, we will turn into a smaller road to reach Vu Linh commune. Our stopping point is Ngoi Tu cultural village – a peaceful village of Vu Linh commune that attracts domestic and foreign tourists with the form of community tourism. Untouched by the modern world outside, until now, the villagers still retain their traditional crafts, cultural events, cuisine, folk songs, folk games, and house architecture. At night, we can take part in a campfire with the locals and enjoy delicious specialties. Overnight at a local homestay, finish our first riding day.
