As the shuttle ascends the legendary Thung Khe Pass (White Stone Pass), the temperature cools rapidly. Standing at the misty crest of Thung Khe Pass, dramatic white limestone cliffs tower over deep gorges while local vendors roast fresh corn and bamboo-stuffed sticky rice over glowing coals.

Pedaling out from Ban Lac, your e-bike motor provides silent, powerful support as you tackle the gravel climbs leading toward Van Village and Tong Dau Village.
With your electric assist set to optimal power, you easily climb steep, winding trails surrounded by bamboo forests and pine groves toward the border of Hang Kia - Pa Co Nature Reserve.
You arrive at Chieu Cave (1,000-Step Cave), where an optional walk leads up stone steps to a massive cavernous interior boasting prehistoric stalactites and sweeping viewpoints of the valley floor. In the afternoon, coast smoothly along rural concrete paths through Kia Village, where Hmong artisans create vibrant indigo-dyed fabrics.
Distance: 45 km – 55 km Terrain: Rolling hills, gravel tracks, and mountain single-track climbs Highlight: Effortless high-altitude climbing through Hang Kia - Pa Co Nature Reserve with panoramic valley views
On your final morning of the Mai Chau E-bike Tour, ride along peaceful river paths skirting the edges of Pu Luong Nature Reserve.

Enjoy a final gourmet lunch inside a traditional stilt home before meeting your private support vehicle for a relaxing drive back to Hanoi.
Riders seeking to extend their journey can easily transition into Pu Luong bike tours, explore ancient karst landscapes on Ninh Binh bike tours, or set off on grand wilderness explorations with Vietnam Northwest bike tours.
