Ever dreamed of experiencing the heartbeat of Vietnam in the most immersive way possible? Bicycling from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi is the ultimate adventure. From dynamic cities to quiet villages, majestic mountains to coastal beauty, this journey lets you see, smell, taste, and feel the soul of the country—at your own pace.
This guide breaks down everything you need to know about cycling Vietnam’s full length, including route highlights, practical tips, and why Golden Cycling Tours is the perfect partner for this unforgettable trip.
Cycling from Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) in the south to Hanoi in the north covers approximately 1,600 kilometers of ever-changing scenery. It’s more than a physical journey—it’s a cultural odyssey.
Here’s what makes this route so special:

💪 Challenging yet achievable: With a proper plan and support, it’s a rewarding challenge for intermediate and seasoned cyclists alike.
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime trip for travelers who want more than a vacation—they want a transformative adventure.
Start in the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh City, where modern life meets historic charm. Head toward Vung Tau for coastal vibes or Mui Ne for its famous dunes and seafood.
The central coast is a cyclist's dream. From Nha Trang’s beaches to Quy Nhon’s fishing villages and the ancient beauty of Hoi An, the route offers cultural immersion and natural beauty at every turn.
Climb the legendary Hai Van Pass, cycle through Hue’s imperial past, and reach Phong Nha, home to massive caves and limestone mountains.
Cruise past the karst formations of Ninh Binh, Vietnam’s “Halong Bay on land,” before arriving in the capital city of Hanoi—a beautiful finale to your cycling journey.
