Program
Day 1: Hanoi - Mai Chau - Pu Luong
The tour guide of Threeland will pick you up at your hotel in Hanoi in the early morning for a 5-hour drive to Mai Chau, the gate to the Northwest of Vietnam. After 160km with a winding road through stunning views of mountains and sugarcane farms, you will stop at Mai Chau, the hometown of the White Thai hill tribe renowned for their houses on stilts.
Have a quick lunch here before taking a short walk around the village to see their daily work: embroidering and weaving Thai traditional costumes. Afternoon, take a short ride along Ma River before off the main road and start cycling by mountain tracks, enjoying new and different images of landscape, rainforest, and streams that cross over the path. After 20km of cycling, you will reach Kho Muong, a peaceful village of Thai hill tribal people. You will overnight in a homestay supported by FFI (Flora and Fauna International). If time is available, you can join the ordinary life of locals in their farming works, cultivation, or herding buffalo. Overnight in Pu Luong.
- Hotel check-in time is around 14.00
- Depending on your arrival time, the program will be adjusted accordingly.
Day 2: Pu Luong - Cuc Phuong
You will have a long hard day of cycling by leaving beautiful Kho Muong village to get up-and-down paths with a messy mixture of rocky mountains and slippery soil, as well as winding and extreme ascending routes. In response, you could have a wonderful view of the landscape with houses-on-stilts, rice-terraced fields, and farming work of local people. Stop en route for lunch (at your own cost) at Pho Doan local market, then continue easier cycling along a calm river, with stops for pictures or refreshments at bamboo water wheels. The escort bus will meet you in the afternoon to head to Cuc Phuong National Park for overnight.
- Meals: Breakfast
Day 3: Cuc Phuong
130km south of Hanoi, Cuc Phuong is a typical limestone area and rainforest with an impressive collection of animals and plants. Seriously and carefully reserved by the government, Cuc Phuong maintains itself as the home of some special primates and species including langurs, gibbons, macaques, and fantastic birds including red-collared woodpeckers, limestone wren-babblers, fork-tailed sunbirds, and many others. Full-day cycling in the Park under the umbrella of century-old trees to explore the forest and trails within the Park Karst ecosystem will give us an overall conception of nature protection in Northern Vietnam. Overnight at the Cuc Phuong Guesthouse.
- Meals: Breakfast
Day 4: Cuc Phuong - Hoa Lu - Tam Coc - Hanoi
After breakfast, you will leave Cuc Phuong for a short ride to Hoa Lu, the ancient capital with the old temples dedicated to King Dinh and King Le reigned in the 10th century. This is an outstanding switch from three-day cycling over the mountain and rainforest to a new discovery of the low plain land with 2-hour thru rural village, passing rice paddy fields and rural houses. Have lunch (at your own cost) in Tam Coc before taking a 2-hour boat trip around an area where spectacular limestone karsts jut out from the green paddy fields reminding about Guilin (China) and Halong Bay of Vietnam, which gives this scenery the name “Halong-bay-in-land”. Late afternoon back to Hanoi. End of service.
