Hidden Northeast 5 days

Day One

Hanoi – Ba Be National Park, 240 Km

Departure at 8:00 A.M. from our office premises marks the beginning of this motorbike tour. Riding over the Vinh Tuy Bridge, we bid farewell to Hanoi and embrace the picturesque landscapes unfolding before us. Moving north along Highway 3, we reach Thai Nguyen, a city renowned for its tea plantations. Exiting the Red River Delta, we enter the Ba Be National Park, a mountainous haven with captivating colors as the sun sets. A homestay in a traditional stilt house in a Tay village awaits, providing a chance to interact with the friendly locals.

Day Two

Ba Be – Cao Bang, 150km

Nestled within the limestone alpine region, Ba Be National Park provides a delightful breakfast experience hosted by the Tay community. Immerse yourself in the rich ecosystem, embark on a trek to the enchanting Dau Dang waterfall, and enjoy a serene cruise back on a local boat. Continuing our journey, we head to Cao Bang, a city embraced by lush vegetation and surrounded by challenging mountain passes. We will overnight at a hotel in Cao Bang.

Day Three

Cao Bang – Ban Gioc Waterfall – Quang Uyen, 150km

Leaving Cao Bang City behind, the ride quickly settles into the quiet limestone landscapes of Vietnam’s far northeast. The route flows through peaceful backroads, ethnic villages, and remote valleys rarely reached by mainstream tourism. Highlights along the way include Angel Eye Mountain, the traditional incense-making village of Phia Thap, the quiet countryside around Dia Tren and Pac Rang, then the road reaches Ban Gioc Waterfall near the Chinese border — one of Vietnam’s most spectacular natural landmarks. 
Overnight at local homestay

Day Four

Quang Uyen – Bac Son, 170 Km

After a hearty breakfast, we continue our adventure driving along small roads, through a winding road that take us past spectacular mountainous scenery, through steep passes, and unspoiled landscapes. Bac Son is a small town surrounded by breathtaking primeval forests, historically known as a key revolutionary base during the pre-1945 resistance period. It is home to many ethnic minority groups such as the Man, Dzao, Nung, and Tho.

This evening we will overnigh at a local Eco House.

Day Five

Bac Son – Ha Noi, 165 Km

After breakfast, we begin our final ride back to Hanoi. Today’s journey takes us to a historic revolutionary base and through an impressive, wide cavern hidden deep in the landscape.

Avoiding the main highways, we follow quiet backroads that wind through peaceful countryside, offering a relaxed and reflective ride to close the adventure. Upon arrival, lunch will be served at a local restaurant.

We return the motorbikes at Flamingo Travel’s workshop, marking the end of an unforgettable journey.
