For adventure seekers and those who find peace in the rhythm of a spinning pedal, the Northern frontiers of Vietnam offer a landscape that feels pulled directly from an ancient ink painting. While many travelers flock to the famous Ha Giang Loop, there is a quieter, more ethereal sibling waiting to be explored: the Cao Bang Loop.
At Golden Cycling Tours, we have spent decades mapping the hidden veins of this region. We know that the true soul of the Northeast isn't found on the main highways, but in the narrow trails where only a bicycle can go. If you are ready to challenge your legs and open your heart to the majesty of the Non Nuoc Cao Bang UNESCO Global Geopark, this is your definitive guide to Cycling Northern Vietnam.

Yet, in the northeastern corner of Vietnam, there exists a sanctuary of raw, limestone majesty that remains largely untouched by mass tourism. A Cao Bang Loop bicycle trip is not just an endurance challenge; it is a profound immersion into a UNESCO Global Geopark where time slows down, and the rhythm of life is dictated by the seasons and the spinning of two wheels.
