3 DAYS MAI CHAU OFF-ROAD MOTORBIKE TOUR
3 Days Mai Chau Introduction
This 3 Days Mai Chau motorbike tour takes you to Mai Chau where you stay with a Thai host family. In reality, Thai people are super friendly and easy-going. Based on the standard 2 days, allow one extra day and we do have a better trip to explore the surrounding areas of Mai Chau. In case you like it rough, Pu Luong is one of the best areas for riding off-road near Hanoi. On the other hand, if you want a relaxing day then we take a boat on the Black River reservoir, North of Mai Chau. Also boating but with some trek, we invite you to try Ma river, South of Mai Chau. Altogether, these highlights will make your trip unforgettable!
Trip Itinerary
Day 1: Hanoi – Mai Chau. ~170 km, ~6 h.
Once out of the Red River Delta, which brims with traditional farming activity, we pass through limestone monoliths and into foothills populated by Muong people. We head straight at the main range before breaching a high and beautiful forested pass, which descends into the hidden valley of Mai Chau where we spend the night with friends in a traditional Thai stilt house.
The valley of Mai Chau lies between two rivers: the Da River and the Ma River that make it very fertile and rich in varied landscapes, medium mountains, forest, lake, rivers, and infinitude of small footpaths and offer many possibilities of a trek. In the valley of Mai Chau and its surroundings are Muong, White Thai, H’mong (in the height), and the Dao who we meet at the markets or in their villages while riding.
Day 2: Mai Chau. Options.
Option 1 – Riding & trekking of 3 Days Mai Chau
