Are you craving an adventure that takes you away from the crowds, deep into nature, and into the heart of authentic Vietnamese culture? Our 4-day Hanoi – Mai Chau – Pu Luong cycling tour offers just that – an unforgettable ride through some of the most stunning and untouched landscapes in Northern Vietnam.
Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a cultural explorer, or someone looking to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with yourself, this tour is the perfect fit. Here's everything you need to know.
This isn’t your typical sightseeing tour. It’s a fully immersive journey where each pedal stroke brings you closer to the true essence of the Vietnamese highlands.
You’ll cycle along scenic backroads, pass through lush rice paddies, bamboo forests, and peaceful hill tribe villages. The landscape transforms with every turn – from the wide-open valleys of Mai Chau to the dramatic terraced hills of Pu Luong Nature Reserve.
More than just a visual feast, this ride is a mindful experience. It's about breathing in fresh mountain air, enjoying slow mornings in stilt houses, and hearing the rustle of bamboo in the wind instead of honking cars. It’s about being present and connected to the world around you.
Mai Chau and Pu Luong are some of Vietnam’s best-kept secrets. These regions remain largely untouched by mass tourism. You’ll cycle through remote areas few travelers ever see — rice terraces stretching to the horizon, misty hills, and dense green forests echoing with bird calls.
This tour isn’t just about nature — it’s also a deep dive into local life. You’ll:
Stay with Thai and Muong families in traditional stilt houses.
Enjoy home-cooked meals with fresh, local ingredients.
Learn about their customs, crafts, and daily rhythms.
Participate in folk music and dance performances.
It’s a beautiful opportunity to connect with people, not just places.
