When we finish eating our breakfast at a local restaurant nearby, we visit the local market, buy souvenirs, take pictures, and mix with the local ethnic minorities (Dzao, Flower H’mong, Nung, etc). Today, we will be testing (and sharpening) our riding skills as the roads that go through the mountain passes are challenging! We'll have lunch in Hoang Su Phi. After lunchtime, we’ll ride off road up to the top of Tay Con Linh mountain rage, this can be challenging yourself to ride about 40 km off road through the jungle without seeing any village , this will be the most beautiful trail in our Vietnam motor bike tour . In the afternoon, we get to the main road and heading 20 km to Ha Giang are far more relaxing and easy, as we rejoin Road 2. Depending on the time, we may even manage to enjoy and relax in the waterfall in Ha Thanh. We’ll spend the night at the cozy homestay.
Today it's all about the journey. As you traverse the 21-km Ma Pi Leng Pass you’ll see why this is declared the most spectacular stretch of road in all of Vietnam. Giant cone-shaped limestone mountains tower, with brilliant green-clad cliffs cascading into the steep river valleys below. Places like this are what travel dreams are made of. before we reach Bao Lac, where we stop for the day. Bao Lac is considered a great ethnic crossroad where ethnic groups of all Northeast Vietnam meet. The Sunday market is a great meeting point for many ethnic groups from both sides of the borders. We’ll spend the night in a hotel.
This morning visit a village of Lo Lo people, a small ethnic group living high up on the mountain who have preserved their original culture, including their colorful, intricate traditional clothing and wooden stilt houses. Next, continue on towards Ban Gioc, riding through beautiful countryside before reaching the resort at Sai Gon Ban Gioc resort.
As we are still in Bac Ngoi, it is a fabulous opportunity to take the fabulous 2-hour boat cruise and sail through the lake. Then, we stop at the Dau Dang waterfall, to have lunch and, for those that wish, swim! There is also a primary school and the village located down the waterfall that we could also visit, before we get back to Ba Be Lake. Finally, we trek through the Ba Be rainforests and get the most amazing photos from on top of a nearby tower. We’ll spend the night in local stilt houses.
