The Northern Highlands Tour is a motorbike adventure that starts in the lush lowland delta’s surrounding Hanoi, with green fields of rice, lakes and waterfalls and slowly climbs up and onto the rugged rocky plateau’s bordering China’s Yunnan Province before turning West to some of the highest passes and deepest gorges in Vietnam, most of which have been farmed into beautiful ribbons of rice terracing by generations of the local ethnic minority tribes.
The riding is everything you can imagine, from buffalo trails to mile upon mile of perfectly smooth asphalt, whatever your choice. A few of the great stops along the way include Ban Gioc border Waterfall, the largest fresh water lake in Vietnam- Ba Be Lake, H’mong Palaces, Textile markets and much much more.
