What you’ll do

This Itinerary will detail each ride that I myself undertook going from Hanoi up to the northernmost areas, and back down all the way to Saigon. I did not include my adventures south of Saigon as that was a disaster and I literally have no advice except DON’T DO WHAT I DID!! You can watch my misadventures in the deep south here - https://youtu.be/yAHIgnM1Dz4

It is important to understand before you read the itinerary that each day can be a half a day or 2-3 days. It just depends on how fast you want to go.

If for example I have a day called ‘Hanoi to Ba Be Lake’, that does NOT mean that ride will take a full day. It may take half a day riding, it may take two or even three days.

RIDE 1 - HANOI to BA BE LAKE

Distance - 250km Duration - 4 - 8 hours Enjoyment - 7/10

Take the highway directly north out of Hanoi past the airport and continue on the main road all the way to Thai Nguyen. After a rest and a drink, continue north and take the slower route on the QL3 then then QLC3, and finally the DT254 road all the way to Ba Be Lake.

These roads are not the most direct but are the most scenic and quiet. Remember that the main road is much busier with traffic and trucks etc, so the more rural roads that yes add an hour driving time, will give you more mountainous views and almost no other traffic to worry about.

Ba Be Lake itself is either a fantastic place for lunch (if you have set off from Hanoi early and you ride fast), or a perfect place to stay overnight and take in a lake boat tour either in the afternoon after the day's ride, or early in the morning before the next day's ride north.
