Quite an easy drive but easy (early departure is better) from Hanoi to Yen Binh ~200 km. Sleep in a hotel near Thac Ba reservoir.

Day 2: Yen Binh – Na Khan. ~210 km, ~10 h.

You ride from Yên Binh to Na Khan through Thai Nguyen (over 200 km). In general, the road is sealed all the way until Bac Kan. However, the last part from Bac Kan to Na Khan is wild and little bumpy.

Stop at a waterfall, beautiful swim etc. Ong pirate, the chief of Dau Dang waterfall where we enjoy dinner. Down the waterfall, we could visit the village and a small school (only a few pupils during the summer). Finally, we propose to stay in the stilt house of forest guards.

Cross Ba Be lake to come back to our captain’s house. Then a beautiful ride up to Cao Bang province. There are a few passes from where you can dominate the area.
