Truong Son War Trail

Ride across Vietnam, learn Vietnam’s history and explore non-tourist trails. 2,540 km with 10 days of riding.

Summary

A solid 2,540 km is the total distance of this ride. This tour was created for riders who are keen to learn Vietnam’s history at the same time as enjoying the sceneries, nice mountain passes and twisty roads throughout Vietnam.

In addition, we will also stay overnight at Vietnam’s finest beaches and explore the largest cave system in Southeast Asia — registered by UNESCO as a world wonder — Phong Nha Cave. To finish off the journey, Ninh Binh is the last location to visit, where we enjoy the calm atmosphere of a boat ride on a lazy river flowing between limestone mountains.

There are more surprises to be unfolded. Be a part of the group, twist the throttle yourself and see things with your own eyes.
