Our 15-day Vietnam Bicycle Tours cycle through the legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail is a wonderful combination of cultural enjoyment and physical activity. You'll get to enjoy the breathtaking landscape of northern Vietnam with World Heritage sites which have been recognised and honoured by UNESCO.
Our 15-day Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh bicycle tour is a great way to explore the country. You'll get to ride bikes on peaceful, rustic village roads through vast green rice fields and villages full of children's laughter. But there's more! You'll also find endless emotions when you stop to admire the stunning scenery in the north of Vietnam. You'll be amazed by the mysterious beauty of Cuc Phuong National Forest.
And then, we'll continue our journey through the Red River Delta, the very heart of Vietnam's rice culture. It's a place where ancient traditions still flourish, and it's a real treasure trove of the essence of northern culture.
We're really excited to show you the stunning limestone mountains, which have been shaped by millions of years of geological tectonics. The area is surrounded by mountain ranges and is also home to some lovely fields that are interspersed with rivers, lagoons, and lakes. This creates a really interesting natural picture for Tam Coc and Trang An.
We temporarily leave the lyrical scenes behind and continue our journey on the legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail. This is a shining symbol of the will and determination of the Vietnamese generations in the 20th century. They were so determined to liberate the nation and reunify the country.
It's been more than 40 years since the war ended, but the pain is still there for the Vietnamese people. You can see the effects of war everywhere, on the stone stele, monuments, and national cemeteries. These are the resting places of thousands of amazing kids who followed the call of the mountains and rivers to defend their country.
Today, we can ride bikes on those legendary roads and enjoy the peaceful scenery of the Vietnamese countryside.
We are truly and deeply grateful to the generation who sacrificed so much to have a peaceful life today. They have paved the way for us to enjoy a wonderful journey of discovery and exploration in Vietnam. Our next destination is to connect the central heritages to create the most unique and attractive heritage road in Vietnam.
