Detail Itinerary

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 Hoa. ~180 km
The road is a bit bumpy and dusty. It takes us 6
hours to reach the beautiful village of Quang
Hoa, 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 Hoa - Ban Gioc - Quang Hoa. ~100
km.
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.
Day 4: Quang Hoa - Na Tau - Quang Hoa. ~30 km
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
Hoa.
Day 5: Quang Hoa - 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 can stop a lot. All together, stop
for drinks 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 6: Ba Be - Na Khan. ~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 ride from Na Khan to Ba Be on
bumpy road. Na Khan is a village of Tay people
lost in the primitive forest. Mr. Lo, the chef
of the village will welcome us in his house.
Day 7: Na Khan - Hanoi. ~180 km
Quite a long drive but easy (early departure is
better) from Na Khan to Hanoi. Arrive in Hanoi
