NORTHEAST LOOP OF VIETNAM
5 days, 4 nights.

Day 1: Hanoi - Quang Hoa. ~300 km, ~9 h.

Ride from Hanoi to Quang Hoa. Lunch in Lang Son. The road is asphalted almost of the way and it takes 9 hours to reach the beautiful village of Quang Hoa, in the middle of a mountain cirque. This is the territory of Nung An people. Spend the night in our friend's house.

Day 2: Quang Hoa (options). ~100 km, ~2 h (or ~30 km, ~1 h).

Option 1
Having obtained permission from the border police we make our way through spectacular scenery to Vietnam's most impressive waterfalls. Weather permitting we can swim right up to where the 50 m high falls hit the river.

Option 2
Na Tau is a completely unknown area that we propose to discover it by raft and motorbike. Rivers and waterfalls everywhere are extremely beautiful and wild. It is only 15 km from Quang Hoa.

Day 3: Quang Hoa - Ba Be. ~170 km, ~8 h.

Beautiful ride from Cao Bang province to Ba Be. Few passes from where you can dominate the area. The road is easy but many curves. We can stop a lot. All together, stop for drinks and food it should be an 8-hour journey. We spend the night in the house of Mr. Dang (we call him Zi Dang).

Day 4: Ba Be - Na Khan. ~50 km, ~2 h.

Easy boating on the lake and river. Go to market (if it is the day you arrive). Stop at waterfall, beautiful swim…Ong pirate, the chef of Dau Dang waterfall where we enjoy lunch. Down the waterfall, we could visit the village and a small school (only few pupils during the summer). Short ride from Ba Be to Na Khan on bumpy road. Na Khan is a village of Tay people lost in the primitive forest. We are welcome in the house of a Tay family.

Day 5: Na Khan - Hanoi. ~180 km, ~7 h.

Quite a long ride but easy (early departure is better) from Na Khan to Hanoi. Arrive in Hanoi around 5 pm.
