Booking code of Small Northwest Loop 4 Days Motorbiking: NW402

Night 1: Hanoi – Lao Cai By Train

Train leaves around 9pm. However, we must be at the station two hours before to guarantee a firm bike loading. In fact, there is limited space for motorbikes on this night train from Hanoi to Lao Cai.

Day 1: Lao Cai – Sapa. ~40 km, ~2 h.

The train arrives at Lao Cai station around 6:30 am. In fact, the road from Lao Cai to Sapa is narrow and steep, taking us from the elevation of 650 to 1600 m above sea level. Sapa is now quite touristy. However, we propose a trek to Ta Van village where is dominated by Zay people. We pass Lao Chai village on the way and lunch could be in Lao Chai, Ta Van, or wherever we want. The children will go together with you along the way. In Sapa, the humidity is high and it gets colder after midnight.

Day 2: Sapa – Coc Ly – Bac Ha. ~120 km, ~4 h.

Ride down to Lao Cai and then to Pac Ngam to meet the boat that is waiting to take us to Coc Ly where you will meet H’mong, Dao and Phu La people. In reality, Coc Ly is wild, lost in the forest and could only be reached by horse, boat or bike. A boat is waiting to take us and our bikes on Chay River for over 1 hour (20 km). Meet local people and have lunch in Coc Ly before riding back to Bac Ha.
