What better and more exciting way to get off the beaten path and experience the incredible scenery and diverse culture that Viet Nam has to offer than on one of our modern mountain bikes? Together with our experienced guides you'll ride through breathtaking mountain passes, visit markets in remote hill tribe villages, and interact with the locals as they indulge their curiosity in you and your cool bike.

DESTINATIONS

HIGHLIGHTS

• Exploring the road less traveled
• Great mountain biking experience
• Breathtaking scenery in Vietnam's mountain green
• Meeting colorful hill tribe people
• Two options to choose from for different cycling preferences

[Option 1] Sapa – Ban Khoang – Lao Cai
Meals: lunch | Accommodation: N/A

We drive for the first part of a 20km journey before leaving the support vehicle and biking on a hidden high country road along the Chinese border. A mixture of sealed roads and dirt, this route only become accessible in 2010 and thus provides a great chance to see unspoiled areas in an eco-friendly way. We'll wind our way higher and higher into the green mountains with deep blue skies and fluffy white clouds above, but don't worry, your guide will always be there for you, and we'll make sure that we proceed at whatever pace you desire. Stop often to savor your precious moments in this hidden corner of the country. You will be cycling for a half day at an altitude of 1.400-1.600m before descending into Lao Cai.

[Option 2] Sapa – Golden Stream Valley
Meals: lunch | Accommodation: N/A

This day trip offers a mixture of dirt roads, single track trails, some trekking with the bike and steep downhill freewheeling. Our route takes us through a variety of natural terrain as well as cycling between villages with a few trails running through a local house's backyard (don't worry, the easygoing locals don't mind!). If you are the first rider to arrive in a village their jaws may drop to the ground, but by the time the last rider passes through everyone has come out of their homes and are bouncing up and down with excitement – as eager to meet and understand you as you are of them. Pause to stop and chat with the help of your guide. Shake a lot of hands. Trade stories. Come away changed.
This is a thoroughly memorable adventure for experienced cyclists.
