Itinerary in brief
This
is an adventurous, moving on tour through the
mountainous north-west provinces of Vietnam and
Laos. Luggage transfer and vehicle support will
be provided. The tour is suitable for fit,
experienced cycling enthusiasts. Vietnam's far
North West is undoubtedly the best place to
cycle in the country as the roads see virtually
no tourists and avoid Vietnam's notorious
highways. It wasn’t until the late 1990’s that
travel restrictions were lifted. Starting in
Hanoi, we’ll pass through stunning landscapes,
amazing karst rock formations, stilted houses
with thatched roofs, mountains nestled between
limestone outcrops and the highest concentration
of hill-tribe people in the country. We'll
cross into a remote area of Laos via the newly
opened border crossing at Tay Trang. From the
small market town of Muang Khua, we’ll take a
slow boat down the beautiful Nam Ou river before
cycling on to World Heritage Luang Prabang, with
its beautiful temples and colourful night
market. Our route south to Vientiane, the
sleepy capital of Laos, is on virtually
traffic-free roads. Great cycling and some of
the friendliest people in Asia.
