Day 1: Hanoi – Mai Chau. ~160 km, ~6 h.

Today is the first day of this happy Central North 7 days motorbiking. Before starting to ride, we will have a short briefing to let you know about the rules. In addition, the guide will show you how to understand him by his body language. We start around 9.30am after the rush hours.

Once out of the Red River Delta, which brims with traditional farming activity, we pass through limestone monoliths and into foothills populated by Muong people. We head straight at the main range before breaching a high and beautiful forested pass, which descends into the hidden valley of Mai Chau where we spend the night with friends in a traditional Thai stilt house in Pom Coong village.

The valley of Mai Chau lies between two rivers: the Da River and the Ma River. Therefore, Mai Chau is very fertile and rich in varied landscapes, medium mountains, forest, lake, rivers, and infinitude of small footpaths and offer many possibilities of a trek. In the valley of Mai Chau and its surroundings are Muong, White Thai, H’mong (live in the high mountain), and the Dao who we meet at the markets or in their villages during trekking, boating or while driving.

Day 2: Mai Chau – Phu Yen. ~160 km, ~5 h.

In general, today is a nice ride and involves different types of terrains and also the forgotten road. In addition, there is a 15-minute entertaining ferry transfer across Da (Black) river at Van Yen. Phu Yen is a small town, pretty quiet and offer some comfort.
