NORTHEAST LOOP OF VIETNAM
6 days, 5 nights.

Day 1: Hanoi - Mau Son. ~180 km, ~5 h.

Drive from Hanoi to Mau Son on the beautiful newly sealed road with a stop for lunch in Lang Son. Mau Son is 30 km away from Lang Son, 1.541m above sea level. Quite cool in the evening! Night in the guesthouse of Mau Son Resort.

Day 2: Mau Son - Quang Uyen. ~180 km, ~6 h.

The road is a bit bumpy and dusty. It takes us 6 hours to reach the beautiful village of Quang Uyen, in the middle of a mountain cirque. This is the territory of Nung An people. Spend the night in our friend's house.

Day 3: Quang Uyen (options). ~100 km, ~2 h (~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 Uyen.

Day 4: Quang Uyen - Ba Be. ~170 km, ~8 h.

Beautiful drive 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 5: Ba Be - Bac Kan. ~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 drive from Ba Be to Bac Kan on easy road. Bac Kan is a small town where we have a night in hotel.

Day 6: Bac Kan - Hanoi. ~180 km, ~7 h.

Quite a long drive but easy (early departure is better) from Bac Kan to Hanoi. Arrive in Hanoi around 5 pm.
