You may forget a few photographs, but your legs will remember the rhythm of Northern Vietnam for a long time.
From Hanoi’s narrow lanes and riverside dirt, you move into the climbs between Mai Chau’s rice fields and villages. Then comes the steady burn of trekking deeper into Pu Luong, before the terrain opens into Ninh Binh’s limestone valleys.
Each change in surface brings a different challenge. Every view becomes a reward for the effort you have made.
Read the Route Profile, check the Activity Level and start training for Northern Vietnam with AnyTrails.

Seven days, two countries, from Hanoi to Angkor from USD 1,950 per person.
Begin in the energy of Hanoi, cycle beside the Red River and through Ninh Binh’s limestone landscape, with hiking and a sampan journey along the way. In Cambodia, your bike takes you along quieter jungle trails to Angkor Thom, Bayon, Ta Prohm and Angkor Wat.
This Level 3 journey is for travellers who want to move through a destination themselves, not simply stop for photos.
Check current departures, pricing and the Route Profile with AnyTrails before booking.

Level 3 and Level 3–4 are not simply “easy” and “hard”. They suit different training bases, goals and recovery abilities.

Level 3 is designed for travellers who maintain around two to three hours of moderate weekly activity and prefer a balanced pace with recovery built into the journey. Level 3–4 requires more regular, higher-intensity training and readiness for consecutive active days, longer climbs and more technical surfaces.

Do not choose a tour by destination alone. Check the distance, elevation, terrain, active time and Activity Level.
Not sure which level fits you? Send AnyTrails a note about your recent training and we will help you assess the fit.

Being fit for a weekend session does not always mean you are ready for a multi-day journey.
A common mistake is using all your energy on Day One. On a multi-day expedition, hold back around 20% early, take water and electrolytes before fatigue arrives, then prioritise stretching and enough sleep to recover.
The goal is not to win one day. It is to have enough energy to enjoy the next one.
Travel smart, respect your pace and make the full journey memorable not a test of survival.

The same seven kilometres can demand very different effort on a flat rice-field road and a steep mountain pass.
Elevation gain, gradient, surface, humidity and actual time on the bike all affect difficulty. That is why AnyTrails does not grade a journey by distance alone; each expedition receives an Activity Level based on the full route profile.
Before booking, check the distance, elevation, terrain and active time. You will understand what to train for and avoid choosing a journey that is too light or too demanding.
Message AnyTrails for the Route Profile and help finding the right fit.

Level 3 is the most accessible level in the AnyTrails expedition range, but it does not mean “easy” or “no preparation required”.

You should maintain around two to three hours of weekly training, combining cardio, strength and endurance. Recovery matters too, because the journey may include cycling, hiking or paddling over consecutive days.
Choosing the right Activity Level helps you enjoy the landscape and culture instead of spending the trip trying to keep up.
Be honest about your fitness base. Read the Route Profile and fitness requirements before booking.

Adventure should challenge you, not expose you to unnecessary risk.

AnyTrails designs each challenge around real terrain, a defined Activity Level and practical support on the route. Before departure, we check the route, weather, equipment and operating plan. During the journey, your Tour Leader, local guide and support team respond to real conditions on the ground.

With nearly 30 years of local experience, work as a ground operator for Backroads and a partnership with Cycling Eventures, we combine local knowledge with international operating standards.
You focus on exploring. AnyTrails prepares the details that keep the challenge managed.

Cao Bang: Beautiful. Quiet. And Made for Cycling. 🚴‍♂️

When people think about cycling in Northern Vietnam, Ha Giang usually comes first.

But there is another place I love just as much—and in many ways, it feels even more special.

Cao Bang.

Lower mountains. Quiet roads. Dramatic limestone peaks rising from the valleys. And far fewer motorbikes and tourists.

Then there is Ban Gioc Waterfall, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Southeast Asia.

But for cyclists, the real adventure is on the road.

Climb Na Tenh Pass for 4.1 km and 310 m of elevation gain.
Look back from the top and see the switchbacks you have just conquered.

Then descend Khau Coc Cha, with its famous 14 hairpin bends.

And if you are looking for a serious challenge, there is our Queen Stage:

🚴 182+ km
⛰️ 4,000+ m elevation gain
📍 Cao Bang → Bao Lac → D**g Van

I've escorted many cyclists on this stage. The first time they see the route profile, their reaction is often:

“What the hell? It's crazy. But I have to do it.” 😄

Some finish it.

Some come back to conquer it again.

And some tell me it was the biggest cycling challenge of their lives.

For me, though, cycling Cao Bang isn't only about climbing mountains.

It's about quiet roads.
It's about meeting local people.
It's about children racing beside you on their little bicycles.
It's about stopping beside the road and sharing a moment with someone you've never met before.

Cao Bang is beautiful.
Cao Bang is quiet.
And on a bicycle, you become part of it.

“Mixed terrain” does not simply mean good roads mixed with rough ones. It means your body, technique and pace must keep adapting.
Across eight days in Northern Vietnam, the surface changes from Hanoi’s narrow lanes to Mai Chau’s village roads and open plains, then to concrete climbs and dirt trails in Pu Luong, before slowing down on Ninh Binh’s calm waterways.
Knowing these changes helps you choose the right equipment, train for the real route and manage your pace from one section to the next.
Read the Route Profile before booking. Distance alone never tells the full story of a trail.
