About this tour

What to expect
Three days of riding as a passenger through winding mountain terrain. Expect long hours in the saddle on a 110cc motorbike with steep hairpins, narrow roads, and significant altitude changes. You'll stop to explore gorges, waterfalls, and villages where you'll meet locals from Hmong and other hill-tribe groups. Nights are spent in hostels, guesthouses, or homestays (shared rooms unless you upgrade). The riding tests your balance and nerve; the scenery compensates. Breakfasts, lunches, and dinners are included. Water and local corn wine flow freely. By day three, fatigue and exhilaration blend into a sense of accomplishment.
