About this activity
The trip will commence by transfer uphill to the high Northern part of Sapa. After about 9km of driving we will start biking. First you can test your bike, helmet and gloves before getting ready for the ride. The first part is downhill to Ban Khoang village of Red Dao people. On the way you might see some of the first ethnic group in their beautiful tradition costumes and soon we will see that the locals are not used to see foreigners, but very happy.

The ride continues uphill before arrival to a large and beautiful valley of Ta Giang Phinh. From here you can make some stops for taking photo of the rice terraces, or meet the local people. You will have chance to understand more about how people live and their old cultures. Leaving the village behind you continue the ride to Ban Xeo village of Dzay people. We make a stop in the village and enjoy our lunch.

After lunch, you get ready for another amazing ride in the afternoon. The trip will continue with the final challenging uphill, jump in the support car if needed, as this is the most hilly part of the trip before the valley of Muong Vi. The final part is downhill following a river in a narrow valley surrounded by forest cowered mountains. The biking finish when arrival to Ban Vuoc village. This is a little town and you might want to join a cold drink celebrating the last 2200 meter downhill. If you are very strong you might want to continue on the now bigger road for another 18km to Lao Cai.
