thoughtfully
I design all of own itineraries,
carefully and hard work for each new route. I constantly
review my tours to ensure that we offer the best of my
experience for cycle. My cycling tour is one of very few
cycle tour in Vietnam. If you search in the Internet you
will see my itineraries, store, photos appear on some other
Vietnamese websites.
I have been working with some oversea cycling tour in USA,
Australia, Europe... But I don’t agreement for Vietnamese
travel agent resell my itineraries and bike component,
cloth, accessories, bike part, bike hire... That mean they
stolen my photos and information. Imitate and steal ideal
are a part of life in Vietnam but please be careful with
this.
Thank

This tour combines
some of the best parts of our Vietnam and Laos Tours. We start in
Hanoi and end of tour in Luang Prabang. We take the overnight
train to Lao Cai, near the Chinese border, and then on to Sapa . The
premier destination in North Vietnam, then cycling over 2,000
meter high Tram Ton Pass. we’ll
ride through a land still untouched by the modern world.
Continuing on, we’ll climb the region’s 1,750 m
mountain pass into the land known by the local Hmong people as
Sin Ho.
The subsequent exciting descent also offers outstanding
sceneries through local tea plantations, tribal communities and vibrant
countryside. We'll cycle into the picturesque Na River gorge, through
the surrounding hills of Lai Chau and into Dien Bien Phu.Leaving Dien Bien Phu, we’ll bike into Laos. Agrarian local life
and untamed topography means that most of the population lives
in bamboo huts that cling to the sides of scarred,
limestone hillsides. We’ll finish our bicycle
trip in atmospheric Luang Prabang.
A true
cycling expedition
