North East Vietnam Soft Cycling

The potential of Vietnam tourism is often mentioned when referring to the main attractions. Also of great value is staying in small villages, immersing in the daily life and culture of local people. We do not need a lot of time; it can easily be done and satisfy your Vietnam travel needs. The itinerary is a loop tour, beginning and ending in Hanoi. A combination of easy cycling in the lush beauty of rural regions, relaxing in a home stay, kayaking in magnificent Ha Long Bay (designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site), and bicycle ride to explore Cuc Phuong National Park (one of Vietnam’s most important nature reserves). Especially, this tour often covers areas with fewer tourists, giving a more authentic feeling of the country.
