(3Rd–10Th June, 2026) Northeast Vietnam 8-Day Adventure: Ride The Rails Through Untouched Landscapes
Set off on an unforgettable 8-day motorbike journey through Northwest Vietnam, where legendary mountain passes wind through breathtaking highland scenery. Beginning in the energy of Hanoi, the route leads into the peaceful Mai Chau Valley, onward to Moc Chau’s rolling tea plantations, and across the Da River by a traditional local ferry.
Ride some of the region’s most iconic roads, including the Lung Lo and Khau Pha passes, before arriving in the spectacular terraced landscapes of Mu Cang Chai and the mist-shrouded mountains of Sapa. The adventure concludes with a serene boat cruise on Thac Ba Lake, a calm and reflective finale to a road trip defined by culture, dramatic scenery, and the pure freedom of the open road.

Dawn breaks over the valley as engines stir. We climb into the mountain spine toward Lũng Lô Pass — a road marked by history and resilience. Tight bends demand focus, but each turn reveals vast peaks, deep valleys, and drifting clouds that seem to carry echoes of the past.
By evening, we roll into town, engines cooling, muscles tired, minds clear. The road has taken effort — and given back something quieter, deeper, and lasting.

Morning eases over Nghĩa Lộ as we set off, the road ahead calm and inviting. Tea hills ripple into the distance, their green catching the first light. Higher up, the air thins and clears, light as breath. Then Khau Phạ Pass appears — wild and commanding. Each bend reveals clouds drifting over golden terraces, valleys moving at their own quiet pace. In Tú Lệ, steam rises from natural hot springs, blending with the scent of wet earth and drying grain. By dusk, Mù Cang Chải unfolds in layered terraces carved into the mountainside. We end the day in a Thai stilt house, sharing warm tea and soft laughter as night settles over the highlands.

Leaving Mù Cang Chải behind, we climb into a drifting world of white as Quy Hồ Pass unfolds ahead. Cool highland air carries mist across tea hills, terraces, and distant valleys, softening everything it touches. Each curve feels like a quiet release, the road gently easing the weight of the journey. When Sa Pa appears through the fog, life moves at a different rhythm. The old Stone Church stands steady at the town’s heart, surrounded by voices, color, and the scent of roasted corn. Night comes softly at our homestay, windows open to wind and pine. Far from the noise below, the mountains offer a calm that settles deep and stays.

Frequently Asked Questions
Test Despite of the fact that Vietnamese government attempts to outlaw the practice, the US Dollars still acts as an alternative currency which is almost completely interchangeable with Vietnam Dong. Many prices, especially for hotels, tours and expensive restaurants, are still quoted in USD, though you can pay in dong if you’d rather - just check what exchange rate they’re using.
For everyday expenses, we recommend you carry a mix of US Dollars cash and Vietnam Dong. For larger items or when the exchange rate works in your favour, use dollars. For cyclos, local food stalls and small purchases, it’s best to use Vietnam Dong. In either case, make sure you always have a stock of small notes so that there is no need to worry about change.
