Arrival in Lao Cai at 6.10 am.

Day 1: Lao Cai – Bac Ha. ~75 km, ~2 h.

We propose to ride directly to Bac Ha on a sealed mountainous road with many curves. It is only 2 hours riding, thus we have time to stop a lot: go walking, visiting the ethnic village of Ban Pho to meet H’mong women union, etc. or depending on your date go to ethnic market (Can Cau on Saturday morning, Bac Ha on Sunday).

Night in Hotel.

Day 2: Bac Ha – Luc Yen – Vu Linh. ~180 km, ~6 h.

We start the day by strolling around Bac Ha to meet with many ethnic villages in this area. We then move towards the lake Thac Ba. From Bac Ha to Luc Yen, the road is easy and sealed all the way. After Luc Yen, we take a small dirt track bordered by palm trees, in the middle of the karsts. Ride to Vu Linh in about 2 hours around the lake on a small road lined by palm trees and scenic mountain views. Finally, we arrive at Vu Linh, a traditional village of Dao where we sleep in the family of our friends. Honestly, the welcome is exceptional.

Day 3: Vu Linh – Na Khan. ~210 km, ~10 h.

You ride from Vu Linh to Na Khan through Thai Nguyen (over 200 km). In fact, the road is sealed all the way until Bac Kan. However, the last part from Bac Kan to Na Khan is wild and a little bumpy. Na Khan is a Tay village, lost in the middle of the primitive forest. Mr. Lo, chief of the village will welcome us to his house.
