Northern Vietnam has long attracted adventurers in awe of its vistas, but vastly improved roads have caught the attention of the cycling adventurers. And it's not hard to see why road cycling in Asia is developing: an endless green expanse of climbs and descents, ribbon roads through forests, rice paddies to peaks and cloud-skimming mountain passes. Our road cycling Northern Vietnam trip from Hanoi to Sapa takes riders through the very best of Southeast Asia's next cycling paradise, for a truly unforgettable cycle tour.

Your cycling holiday begins outside bustling and colonial city of Hanoi, through tranquil countryside flanked by green mountains and a dream-like lake reminiscent of famous Ha Long Bay. As the route heads north, the terrain hardens, testing the legs and lungs along a ride through rice-terraced hillsides and lush tropical forests.

The real test begins as the farms become smaller, the villages more remote, and the climbs expand in size. Northwest Vietnam's tribal regions and spectacular, untouched views don't come easy, with short and steep climbs through karst countryside and several mountain passes standing in the way to Sapa. A bike tour in Vietnam can be introduced without mention of the fantastic Vietnamese cuisine, just reward for full days spent tackling KOM challenges. For the avid road cyclist, this incredible challenge is worth all the effort!
