Northern Vietnam and Laos are lands of shimmering terraced rice fields, lush jungles, stunning views over rugged peaks and gorges, and unforgettable encounters with a plethora of local ethnic groups. Traveling by bike, we can access hidden aspects of the region and connect in a very immediate and authentic way. This is a journey with new discoveries at every turn!
After exploring Hanoi, Vietnam’s elegant capital, we take the historic train line to the hill station of Sapa and begin traversing the spectacular northwestern region of Vietnam. Riding among the crests of Indochina’s highest peak, Fansipan, we cross the formidable terrain to Dien Bien Phu, the impressive site of the final defeat of the French colonial forces in 1954. Crossing into Laos at an isolated border crossing, we cycle riverside trails and venture into remote villages far from the tourist track. Witness agrarian local life and untamed topography as we overnight at riverside guest houses and enjoy cruises on longtail boats, then cycle into the pristine natural haven of Nong Khiaw. We’ll finish our bicycle trip in atmospheric Luang Prabang, a beautifully-preserved town on the peaceful shores of the Mekong River.
Join us on this 13-day trip that takes us through the heart of Vietnam and Laos’ northern territories!

The north of Thailand was my FAVOURITE. I loved the diverse range of 'stays' which kept it exciting and much like an adventure and showed what Thailand had to offer. The Jungle Raft on the second night was an essential bonding experience for the group and allowed us to build friendships and enjoy the trip way more than if we hadn't had that crucial opportunity to connect. The included experiences, free time add ons, and even trip manager suggestions were all top tier! I didn't regret a single experience. 2 night stays were also a relief as travelling can get quite tiring and found that their timing was essential.

Our family had a wonderful 2-weeks trip through Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia. My husband and I loved exploring history and culture of destinations, my kids enjoyed learning to cook Vietnamese meals. Everything was well organized and we had a great time in Southeast Asia.

I had a great time on this tour, it was a really great way to take the stress and anxiety out of going to a new country by yourself and not knowing the language. It was good mix of activities, nature, temples, cities, and food. The experience I had with them felt far more authentic and less touristy than the other tour I booked right after the trip in Hanoi. Would happily travel with them again!

From the heights of the Himalayas to the southern coasts of the South China Sea, winding over 2,700 miles, the Mekong is much more than just irrigation for Indochina—everywhere it flows, it fascinates men and shapes their lives. Come take an expedition on this grand and plentiful “water snake,” from the ruins of Angkor to Tonle Sap river following the footsteps of Henri Mouhot, to Phnom Penh and Ho Chi Minh City, still largely influenced by the French colonial days. Our meditative trip takes you along the Mekong River on board a ship combining charm and colonial-style comfort.

I truly couldn?t have asked for a better trip!! My group was warm and friendly, our CEO Sony was intentional about supporting as many locals as possible with our visit, and it was a great mix of optional and included activities. The flexibility of doing what I wanted while also combining with the safety of having a group of other foreigners balanced out nicely. The price point was another great factor. I?d happily tour with G Adventures again!

Chiang Mai, Thailand, and Luang Prabang, Laos, were once the centers of powerful kingdoms in the highlands of Southeast Asia. Today, these two cities—steeped in rich cultural heritage—are must-sees on any travel itinerary to the region. Connecting them by bike takes you off the beaten path, through jungle-clad mountains, along meandering rivers, past glimmering Buddhist temples, and into remote ethnic villages. Over the course of 11 exhilarating days, we travel by road, trail, and boat to explore the north’s picturesque landscapes and captivating cultures.
Starting from bustling Chiang Mai, we warm up in the flat plains surrounding the Ping River before venturing deeper into the hilly terrain of northern Thailand. We ride along gravel trails and backcountry roads, visit the sacred Chiang Dao Caves, and unwind at a riverside hotel by the Mae Kok River. Next, we weave through hilltribe country to reach the city of Chiang Rai before cycling along the banks of the Mekong River to the border with Laos. This mighty river becomes our home for a couple of hours as we cruise by slow boat from the Laos border to the village of Pakbeng. Following this, we embark on a series of leg-testing days on remote national roads, surrounded by stunning mountain scenery, and overnight in quaint riverside towns. One more scenic boat journey takes us to Nong Khiaw along the Nam Ou River, followed by a final long and winding ride into the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Luang Prabang. This enchanting city is renowned for its classic temples, colonial architecture, and Old World charm. The tour concludes in Luang Prabang.
Join us on this beautiful highland journey between northern Thailand and Laos!

Northern Vietnam and Laos are relatively little-known regions in South East Asia, yet they abound with natural and cultural marvels, including extensive intact jungle landscapes and remnants of prehistoric civilizations. They are deeply connected through their shared ecologies, ethnic groups, and socio-economic evolution. On this 14-day journey, we will uncover secrets of this vast land of jungles, rivers, and mountains, an absolute dream for cyclists.
Leaving Hanoi, we ride through a series of traditional villages on the Red River Delta, towering karst mountains, refreshing forest, and fertile rice fields. We visit Hoa Lu, the former capital of Vietnam and cycle through the gigantic Cuc Phuong National park, gaining a full picture of Vietnam’s natural and political heritage. Crossing the border into Laos, we visit Vieng Xai, aka The Hidden City, with hundreds of caves used to shelter the Laos Communist Party combatants during the Second Indochina War. The ride then continues into the Nam Et-Phou Louey conservation area, where you’ll enjoy a night safari on a long-tail boat and stand a chance of spotting exotic wildlife. The next stop is the famous Xieng Khouang Plateau, the resting place of the Plain of Jars, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The region is also one of the heaviest bombed during the American War, otherwise known as the Vietnam War. Cycling among mysterious stone jars and bomb craters, we’ll learn about the significance of the plateau, which dates back to the Bronze Age. The tour culminates on the shores of the Mekong River in Luang Prabang, another World Heritage Site renowned for its colonial and vernacular architecture, glittering Buddhist temples and ascetic saffron-robed monks.
Join us on our exploration of this mysterious, absorbing region and see a whole new side of these fascinating countries!
