Ho Chi Minh Trail Rider

Departing from your hotel we take a trip to remember up towards the Laos border, and venturing into ethnic minority country. This is a great tour spanning 2 days and 1 night allowing for a taste of the Vietnam hill tribes way of life.

Experience places very few tourists get to see! Meandering through ethnic minority villages, we arrive in the trading town of Prao for the night, home to the Ca Tu ethnic minority. Sampling the local cuisine at a local, family run restaurant and enjoying a few glasses of rice wine, we can entertain you with the history of this proud hill tribe, one of the more fascinating and intriguing tribes in the whole country, before settling down for an early night in preperation for the next days ride!

Rising early next morning, we pack the bikes and fuel up before taking a ride on the Ho Chi Minh Highway, an engineering masterpiece that never ceases to amaze. This tour then features a remote and beautiful stretch of the Ho Chi Minh Highway that descends into the A Shau valley, homes of the town of A Luoi, famous for the summit of Ap Bia (or more commonly known as ‘Hamburger Hill’).

That afternoon, we descend into the ancient capital of Hue, home of the Imperial Citadel, the Tombs of Emperors and site of a numerous operations during the American war.

The next morning, we head out to the coast and follow the winding roads through graveyards and beautiful landscapes. Making numerous breaks for drinks and photographs, we stop at the beach front of Vinh Tuan, to see raw and untouched coastlines, before preparing ourselves for the climb to the summit of the Hai Van Pass. The Hai Van Pass is a bikers dream, switchbacks, uphill cambers, and outstanding views. It has to be seen to be believed!
