Lunch stop on our way to Mai Chau; we will then continue our afternoon cycling up and down hills and along the Hoa Binh lakes, where you encounter an amazing view of the peaceful lakes. Our late afternoon descending down hills to Mai Chau, we arrive in Poom Coom, a tribal village of Thai. Dinner and overnight in a local guest house here. Inclusion: transfer, guide, guest house, lunch, dinner, mountain bike, helmet, snack, & water.
It’s better to be up early to witness the local life here. After breakfast, we go for a short car ride, then cycle along Ma riverbank, and if there is good weather, we will try a 10 km single track to some very remote villages along Ma river. Enjoy our picnic lunch in a local house, then challenge ourselves with 12 km of cycling uphill to 650+ m through Pu Luong Nature Reserve. You can give this a miss by enjoying the views from the van support to the top. We then hit the trails downhill, riding with spectacular views of mountains, forests, and rice paddies. We arrive in Don village for dinner and overnight at a traditional homestay. Take a short walk around the village to enjoy the best-terraced fields of Pu Luong.

It’s great to take a slow walk around the village with your camera to see life going early.
