Tour Details

220 km

Ride deep into the Central Highlands as we leave Hoi An behind and head into the mountains. We’ll cruise quiet roads that wind through dense forest and jungle, passing remote hill tribe villages along the way. The scenic Ho Chi Minh Road East offers stunning views and smooth riding before we reach Kham Duc, a historic town once home to a key airbase during the Vietnam War.

200 km

We continue our journey along the legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail, climbing a spectacular 2,000m mountain pass into the remote highlands. The route winds through the lush landscapes of Ngoc Linh National Park, with stops at wartime relics like abandoned U.S. tanks at Dak To and the little-known secret French prison camp. As we near Ngoc Hoi, we ride along the remains of Phoenix Airbase – once a strategic U.S. military site – ending the day with a powerful sense of history and adventure.

180 km

Today’s ride follows the historic Ho Chi Minh Trail south along the remote Laos border, cutting through untouched landscapes and small hill tribe villages. We’ll stop to admire the beautiful Dream Waterfall, a hidden gem deep in the forest, before riding through vast rubber tree plantations. As we arrive near Bien Ho, the day ends with a special cultural experience – sharing a traditional dinner with the Jarai hill tribe.

50 km

Today’s shorter ride begins with a scenic ride through lush coffee plantations and tea farms. We visit the war-scarred Ho Bao Church before climbing up to the extinct Chu Dang Ya volcano – where we’ll actually ride up and into the crater. Great views and a really special achievement. The day winds down with a peaceful loop around Bien Ho Lake, a tranquil spot known as the “Eye of Pleiku.”

200 km

Leaving Bien Ho, we ride past thriving pepper plantations and rubber tree forests. A stop at the stunning Bat Cave Waterfall adds a wild splash of adventure before we tackle the epic Ho Chi Minh road East, climbing to the cool 1,200m-high Mang Den plateau – a peaceful retreat nestled in the highlands.

250 km

Our final day takes us winding down from the Mang Den plateau toward the coast, with sweeping views all the way. We’ll visit the moving My Lai Memorial site before stopping at the colorful Tam Thanh Painted Village. Cruising through small fishing communities along the coast, we make our way back to Hoi An – where a well-earned cold beer await to celebrate an unforgettable journey.
