Riding motorbike through the winding mountain passes, you will have the most relaxing and enjoyable of the whole motorbike touring Northeast Vietnam.

We ascend to the Ma Pi Leng mountain pass, another incredibly stunning masterpiece of nature in the northwest motorcycle trip, with the panoramic view down to Nho Que River. It is not the end of fantastic things when we keep riding to Dong Van plateau, a remote area in Ha Giang with many hill tribes on the rugged monoliths. There is a range of ethnic minorities such as Dzao, Giay, H’mong. You will be surprised by their ambition and vitality to conquer the hardest conditions.

When we come to Don Van town, you can admire the ancient town dating back for the long time with many old houses built with clay bricks and tiles roofs.

Day 4: DONG VAN PLATEAU – BAO LAC (120 KM) (B/L/D)

On the 4^th day, all the motorcyclists in our crew will have to cross many tough roads which are still under construction and full of stagnant holes. However, the payback is really worthy when you can take a look at the wild glorious scenery of the northern Vietnam areas on the back of motorbike. It is another highlight of Vietnam motorbike tours.

After the long riding in the North of Vietnam, we will have a rest in Bao Lac town. This town is near the border so it is like the junction point of many ethnic groups to gather here and conduct trading activities in market. If you come here on Sunday, you can see the true beauty of a mountainous market.

Day 5: BAO LAC – BA BE LAKE (130 KM) (B/L/D)

The road from Bao Lac to Ba Be Lake is another spotlight making this Northern Vietnam motorcycle trip more memorable.
