Prao Minority Experience

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. Corners, switchbacks, hill climbs, all set on the back drop of the Truong Son Mountain range – the natural geographic border between Vietnam and Laos, before returning you safely to your hotel.

*This tour can also be run differently, with the destination on day 2 being Hue instead. This tour then features a remote and beautiful stretch of the Ho Chi Minh Highway that descends into the A Shau valley, home of the town of A Luoi, famous for the summit of Ap Bia (or more commonly known as ‘Hamburger Hill’).

We are more than happy to arrange accomodation for you, and assist you in all manner of onward travel.
