Drive & ride from Hanoi to Mau Son on the
beautiful newly sealed road with a stop for
lunch in Lang Son. Mau Son is 30 km away from
Lang Son, 1.541m above sea level. Quite cool in
the evening! Night in the guesthouse of Mau Son
Resort.
Day 2: Mau Son - Quang Uyen. ~180 km
The road is a bit bumpy and dusty. It takes us 6
hours to reach the beautiful village of Quang
Uyen, in the middle of a mountain cirque. This
is the territory of Nung An people. Spend the
night in our friend's house.
Day 3: Quang Uyen (options). ~100 km
Option 1:
Having obtained permission from the border
police we make our way through spectacular
scenery to Vietnam's most impressive waterfalls.
Weather permitting we can swim right up to where
the 50 m high falls hit the river.
Option 2:
Na Tau is a completely unknown area that we
propose to discover it by raft and motorbike.
Rivers and waterfalls everywhere are extremely
beautiful and wild. It is only 15 km from Quang
Uyen.
Day 4: Quang Uyen - Ba Be. ~170 km
Beautiful drive & ride from Cao Bang province to
Ba Be. Few passes from where you can dominate
the area. The road is easy but many curves. We

and food it should be an 8-hour journey. We
spend the night in the house of Mr. Dang (we
call him Zi Dang).
Day 5: Ba Be - Bac Kan. ~50 km
Easy boating on the lake and river. Go to market
(if it is the day you arrive). Stop at
waterfall, beautiful swim Ong pirate, the chef
of Dau Dang waterfall where we enjoy lunch. Down
the waterfall, we could visit the village and a
small school (only few pupils during the
summer). Short drive from Ba Be to Bac Kan on
easy road. Bac Kan is a small town where we have
a night in hotel.
