Discover the hidden gems of Northern Vietnam on this intimate 8-day bike and hike adventure. In a small group, explore the stunning landscapes of Ba Vi National Park, pedal through the karst-studded backroads of Ninh Binh, and hike the vibrant fields of Mai Chau.

Your journey starts in Hanoi and ventures into northern Vietnam’s quieter rhythms. Cycling west of Vietnam, the scenery softens into villages, rivers, and limestone hills as you follow countryside roads to Mai Chau. Here, flat bike paths wind through rice paddies and White Thai villages, with farmers still waving fond greetings and the authentic artisanal everyday life. Move on and into the misty highlands near Hang Kia, where a hike from cool mountain air descends patchwork fields into warmer lowland villages. Experience the Pu Luong Nature Reserve through jungle trails and relish the opportunity to ride on a traditional sampan into Kong’s Thien Ha Cave. The journey concludes in Hong Quang, tracing the origins of Vietnam’s centuries-old water puppetry before a final farewell in Hanoi.
