We’ll leave Sapa and cycle downhill on a winding road along Muong Hoa Valley, home to the Black Hmong, Giay, and Red Dao minorities. After a short break in Su Pan, we’ll cycle to Thanh Phu village and enjoy lunch in a traditional Tay house. After lunch, we’ll hop back on the bikes for a mostly uphill ride toward Sin Chai village. In the evening, we’ll have a tasteful dinner and stay overnight in a local homestay.
Day 2: Sin Chai – Nam Nhiu - My Son – Ban Ho – Sapa (1.5 hours driving / 4 hours walking) (B, L)
The second day’s ride will be a bit easier. You’ll pass through small villages, stop by a local school, and continue cycling to Ban Ho.
