Detail Itinerary
Day 1: Hanoi Hoa Binh (80km)
In the morning we cycle out of Hanoi and head for Hoa Binh
town. Along the way we will make several stops,
the first of which is the Van Phuc silk village,
approximately 12km southwest of the capital.
From Van Phuc we
continue on to the Ho Chi Minh Trail Museum. Our
third and final stop is at the Dau Pagoda, whose
origins date back to the 3rd century.
From Dau Pagoda
we cycle the remaining 50km to Hoa Binh town,
where we spend the night.
Day 2: Hoa Binh
Mai Chau Lac village (65km)
Today
we set off for Mai Chau town. As the road
becomes very steep in parts we combine cycling
with driving in the support vehicle.
Upon arrival in
Mai Chau, we move to the nearby White Thai
village of Lac where we have lunch in a
traditional stilt house.
After lunch we
take to our bikes to discover some of the
neighboring villages in the valley. Later we
return to the village of Lac where we spend the
night.
Day 3: Lac
village Van village (22km)
We
leave Lac and cycle through some beautiful
countryside en route to the village of Van.
Along the way we pass through several Thai and
Muong hamlets and have lunch in another village.
We cycle along
the valley floor and are constantly surrounded
by stunning scenery, arriving at Van village by
late afternoon. Here there is time to walk
around this charming little village before
dinner. The village is also home to the White
Thai people, but unlike Lac it has remained
completely unchanged by the advent of tourism.
Tonight we will
be their guests in one of their traditional
stilt houses.
Day 4: Van village Lac village (20km)
We return to Lac, taking a totally different route. Todays
cycling will probably be the hardest so far as
we climb hills and descend into valleys. As
before, we will pass through many Thai and Muong
villages, who are sure to greet us with smiles
and quite possibly a degree of fascination!
Arriving in Lac
around midday we once again take a well-earned
lunch in the village. There will be time for a
little rest before we join our support vehicle
for the return drive to Hanoi.
