​15th September - Leave UK 
​

16th September - Day One: Arrival in Hanoi 
Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam and is known for its centuries-old architecture. We stay in the chaotic Old Quarter of the city with its quirky tall buildings and street traders the pace of life will amaze you. Tonight we meet the team before you sample the delights of this bustling city.

17th September - Day Two: Hanoi to Lao Cai aboard the Night Train
After breakfast the day is your own. Check out the downed B52 Bomber in the lake, the War Museum or the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. Lunch is at the famous Obama Cafe where the Bun Cha and Egg Coffee is good enough for the former US President. Tonight we head to Hanoi Train Station to begin our adventure.
​

18th September - Day Three: Lao Cai to Sa Pa Village (120km’s)
Time to get on the bikes and start the adventure. We ride out of Lao Cai and soon turn off on to the mountain trails. Small broken roads and stone paths take us high with our first chance to see the scale of the surrounding landscape. We try our first off-road section, a steep incline that can be challenging when wet. Tonight we stay in Sa Pa Village in the shadow of Fansipan, at 3143 metres is the highest mountain in Indochina.
​

19th September - Day Four: Sa Pa Village to Xi Man (180km’s)
As we head down the mountain tracks from Sa Pa we again return to Lao Cai for lunch at the Chinese trading post and Boarder Crossing.Small pushbikes laden with goods come into the town from across the river in China to trade at the local markets of Vietnam. We leave Lao Cai along the river on single broken road as we ride back into the hills and sample a challenging rocky off-road section over one of the high peaks.

20th September - Day Five: Xi Man to Ha Giang (160km’s)
Today is the day of waterfalls, switchbacks and long drops. Roads are a great mix of smooth tarmac, broken trails and hill tracks to the town of Ha Giang. We will be giving you a sand trail to test those skills and after coffee its one of the hardest trails of the ride, jungle, streams and drops, definitely one for the confidence rider. In Ha Giant we get to ride through the hotel on our bikes, a great opportunity for a photo but remember no wheelies in reception.

21st September - Day Six: Ha Giang to Dong Van (165km’s)
Huge peaks shadow our ride as we wind our way to the start of the Happiness Road through endless valleys along the river to Dong Van. Tonight we sample the Vietnamese Hot Pot, a local dish that is fun as well as tasty.

22nd September - Day Seven: Dong Van to Bao Lac (80km’s)
We each buy the inner line permits that allow us to enter the next province. You may notice the mountains start to change shape, huge limestone boulders seem to have some symmetry to each other as we weave around their bases, stunning. Today you will ride the famous Sky Road goat track but only for those who have a head for heights. If the weather is dry there is a great off-road trail that leads to a bamboo boat crossing.

23rd September - Day Eight: Bao Lac to Ban Gioc  (220km’s)
After breakfast its straight on the bikes and into a small off-road section which takes us through some tiny bamboo villages. The Villagers are always welcoming to strangers with a cup of hot green tea and maybe a glass of rice wine, my advice is stick to the tea. Great trails give way to the daddy of all waterfalls at Ban Gioc on the Chinese Border, tonight we sleep overlooking the falls.

24th September - Day Nine: Ban Gioc to Ba-Be Lake (180km’s)
Following a an early start on the bikes we head along the border, following the river we soon head back into the hills for more mountain trails. On arrival at Ba-Be we jump on a small boat and explore the tiny bays, waterfalls and caves around the lake. The accommodation is basic but wait until the morning you will have a treat with the sun rising over the lake.

25th September - Day Ten: Ba-Be Lake to Hanoi (160km's)
Back on the bikes for one last time as we try and “sneak” back into Hanoi using some of the best back roads in Vietnam. We will ride through tiny villages until we hit the traffic of Hanoi, now there’s an experience. Tonight we say goodbye to our new Vietnamese friends.


26th September - Day Eleven: Leave Hanoi
