Hanoi to Luang Prabang Mountain Bike Tour
Itinerary in brief
This is an adventurous, moving on tour through the mountainous north-west provinces of
Vietnam and Laos. Luggage transfer and vehicle support will be provided. The tour is suitable
for fit, experienced cycling enthusiasts. Vietnam's far North West is undoubtedly the best place
to cycle in the country as the roads see virtually no tourists and avoid Vietnam's notorious
highways. It wasn't until the late 1990's that travel restrictions were lifted. Starting in Hanoi,
we;ll pass through stunning landscapes, amazing karst rock formations, stilted houses with
thatched roofs, mountains nestled between limestone outcrops and the highest concentration of
hill-tribe people in the country. We'll cross into a remote area of Laos via the newly opened
border crossing at Tay Trang. From the small market town of Muang Khua, we'll take a slow

boat down the beautiful Nam Ou river before cycling on to World Heritage Luang Prabang, with
its beautiful temples and colourful night market. Our route south to Vientiane, the sleepy capital
of Laos, is on virtually traffic-free roads. Great cycling and some of the friendliest people in
Asia.
The opening in 2007 of the Tay Trang border crossing between Vietnam and Laos has made this
exciting tour possible. This is an adventurous, moving on tour through the mountainous north
west provinces. Vietnam's far North West is undoubtedly the best place to cycle in the country as
the roads see virtually no tourists and avoid Vietnam's notorious highways. Stunning landscape,
amazing karst rock formations, stilted houses with thatched roofs, mountains nestled between
limestone outcrops and the highest concentration of hill-tribe people in Asia. We enter Northern
Laos at Tay Trang. The trip includes a spectacular journey by boat down the Nam Ou River, a
day off the bikes in World Heritage town, Luang Prabang with its beautiful temples and
colourful night market, and time to explore vibrant Hanoi and Vientiane.
