Overview
More than 30 million Vietnamese can’t be wrong – handle-bar height gives you the best views of spectacular, off-the-beaten-track parts of this country! On this eight-day cycling trip through the north, you’ll meet locals and experience their culture in a way that otherwise wouldn’t be possible. Get started in bustling Hanoi, where you can discover the Old Quarter’s 36 Streets and fuel up on multiple banh mis, then make your way to the UNESCO World Heritage site Halong Bay, down country lanes and through spectacular mountain scenery. Ride to the largest waterfall in Vietnam, pedal past the jagged peaks of the Phong Nam Valley, jutting skyward from the emerald-green rice paddies and take in the dazzling scenery of Cao Bang, a UNESCO Global Geopark.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1. It is very important that you provide your height at time of booking so we can ensure that you have the appropriate sized bicycle when your trip starts. If you do not provide your height ahead of arrival we cannot guarantee a suitably sized bike for you.
2. Please see your Trip Notes if your departure takes place during Tet, usually in late January/early February. Although we do our best to run trips during Tet as per the scheduled itinerary, it is likely that there will be some changes to transport, accommodation or order of destinations visited.
3. Whilst bicycle helmets are not compulsory in Vietnam, Intrepid cyclists must wear a quality helmet at all times while riding in Vietnam. Good quality helmets are not available in Vietnam so make sure you bring yours from home.
4. During the group meeting, your trip leader will ask you if you would like to contribute to the snack kitty. This would be used to purchase extra supplies of snacks, including nuts and other energy packed goodies. It is not a compulsory kitty, although will make the purchasing of snacks easier and more convenient for you. You can find out more information from your leader upon arrival but costs are indicated in the Money Matters Section of your Essential Trip Information.
5. Single supplement exclusion – the single supplement does not include night 6 – O/N on Hanoi Cruise.
6. This trip includes 4 days of actual cycling.
