Tour Overview

This ten-day Northern Loop rides from Hanoi through Mai Chau, Phu Yen and Than Uyen to Sapa, then via Bac Ha to Ha Giang and Ba Be Lake. No day distances are published; riding times run from approximately 3 to 8 hours. Several days are long rides on winding roads.

The route shares its skeleton with the longer Grand Northern Loop, minus Son La, the Sapa rest day and the free final day. Bac Ha’s main market runs on Sunday only. A Ba Be boat trip may be possible if timing and weather allow.

The booking form shows a FROM price of USD 1,500 but lists only the two solo options for selection. The page itself quotes prices individually. Inclusions are confirmed in your quotation.

Warm clothing for high mountain areas and cool evenings
Rain protection, sunscreen and sunglasses
Personal medication and a refillable water bottle
A small bag for documents and daily essentials

Tour Itinerary

Day 1

Hanoi to Mai Chau

Riding time approximately 4-6 hours. Leave Hanoi and ride west as the capital's busy roads give way to farmland and the hills of Hoa Binh. Arrive in Mai Chau and settle in for the first night, exploring the local area on foot if time permits. Rew Rew confirms the accommodation and evening arrangements before departure.

Day 2

Mai Chau to Phu Yen

Riding time approximately 5-7 hours. Ride north through higher terrain toward the Moc Chau region, then continue in the direction of Phu Yen. Stop for lunch and short breaks where it is safe to pull over, among cultivated valleys and winding roads. Arrive in Phu Yen later in the day and rest before Than Uyen.

Day 3

Phu Yen to Than Uyen

A full riding day; final route to be confirmed. Start early for a substantial mountain ride across the northwest, possibly passing the Mu Cang Chai area depending on the roads selected. Take a lunch break and keep sightseeing stops selective so there is enough daylight to reach Than Uyen. Rew Rew confirms the roads, distance and riding time before booking.

Day 4

Than Uyen to Sapa

Riding time approximately 3-5 hours. Ride toward the Hoang Lien mountain range and climb through the O Quy Ho Pass area, where mist or rain may require a slower pace. Continue to Sapa and check in, then discuss a short local ride or enjoy a free afternoon in town. Overnight in Sapa.

Day 5

Sapa to Bac Ha

Riding time approximately 4-6 hours. Leave Sapa and ride toward Bac Ha through valleys, farming areas and smaller mountain roads as elevations drop. Spend time exploring Bac Ha after arrival; its main market takes place on Sunday, so a visit depends on the departure date. Overnight in Bac Ha.

Day 6

Bac Ha to Ha Giang

A full riding day; final route to be confirmed. Travel east toward Ha Giang through rugged mountain country, possibly via the Xin Man and Hoang Su Phi areas if roads and conditions allow. Stop for lunch and allow extra time for slow sections and breaks. Rew Rew confirms the day's route and expected arrival time before booking.

Day 7

Ha Giang to Dong Van

Riding time approximately 5-7 hours. Ride north through Quan Ba and Yen Minh as green valleys give way to the Dong Van Karst Plateau. Pause at accessible viewpoints when visibility permits, and visit the Vuong family residence if open and included. Overnight in Dong Van.

Day 8

Dong Van to Bao Lac via Meo Vac

Riding time approximately 5-7 hours. Ride through the Ma Pi Leng area toward Meo Vac, following steep limestone slopes and deep valleys at a careful pace. Stop at safe viewpoints when conditions permit, then break for lunch around Meo Vac. Continue on mountain roads toward Bao Lac for the evening.

Day 9

Bao Lac to Ba Be Lake

Riding time approximately 5-7 hours. Follow roads from Bao Lac toward the forested hills around Ba Be, with the guide selecting a suitable route and time for rest stops. Arrive near Ba Be Lake for a quieter final evening; a boat trip may be possible if timing allows. Rew Rew confirms whether it is included. Overnight in the Ba Be area.

Day 10

Ba Be Lake to Hanoi

Riding time approximately 6-8 hours. Leave early for the final ride to Hanoi through hills and smaller towns, with regular breaks during this longer day. Stop for lunch along the route and continue to the agreed Hanoi drop-off point. Allow enough time before any onward connection, as arrival depends on roads, traffic and weather.
