Welcome to the 15-Day Northeast Vietnam Cycling Tour, a carefully curated experience by Golden Cycling Tours, taking you deep into the untouched regions of Vietnam’s northeast. If you crave wild nature, cultural immersion, and a challenge that rewards you with soul-stirring scenery at every turn, this tour is for you.
Unlike the well-trodden paths of Sapa or Ninh Binh, Northeast Vietnam remains raw, rugged, and real. This tour will take you through eight provinces – Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Lang Son, Cao Bang, Ha Giang, Bac Kan, Thai Nguyen, and Quang Ninh – on a route that connects breathtaking natural wonders and cultural gems.
You'll ride:
Along the Chinese border in Lang Son
Through limestone karst mountains in Cao Bang
Around the majestic Ban Gioc Waterfall
Across the world-famous Ha Giang Loop
Along the tranquil shores of Ba Be Lake
This is more than checking destinations off a map. Every day unfolds like a chapter in a novel:
Day 1–3: Cycle through the lowlands of Bac Ninh and Bac Giang, visiting ancient temples and countryside roads.
Day 4–6: Reach Lang Son and Cao Bang, marvel at karst mountains and border culture.
Day 7–11: Conquer the Ha Giang Loop – Quan Ba, Yen Minh, Dong Van, Meo Vac – a legendary region of rock and resilience.
Day 12–14: Head south to Ba Be National Park, rest by the lake, and immerse in jungle silence.
Day 15: Return to Hanoi with a heart full of stories and soul filled with mountain wind.
At night, instead of checking into sterile hotels, you'll stay with local host families in wooden stilt houses or small eco-lodges. Sharing meals, stories, and laughter, you’ll:
Learn how ethnic groups like the H’mong, Tay, Nung, and Dao live.
Taste regional dishes like thang co, grilled corn, sticky rice, and jungle herbs.
Visit tribal markets, traditional craft villages, and remote farming communities.
This isn't tourism — it's true cultural connection.
