Overview

About this tour

The full length of Vietnam, ridden the other way. This 10-day, 2,463 km run starts in Hanoi and heads south through Thanh Hoa into Phong Nha, where a rest day breaks up the early long stages. From there the route follows the Ho Chi Minh Road down to Khe Sanh and out to Hoi An before climbing inland to the pine forests of Mang Den. The last four days are pure coastline: Quy Nhon, Nha Trang, the red dunes of Mui Ne, and finally the heat and chaos of Ho Chi Minh City. Riding southbound means the hardest mileage comes early, while your legs are fresh, and the tour winds down along the sea.
