DAY BY DAY ITINERARY
Day 1: Hanoi - Mai Chau village
At 7.00 am on the starting day of Mai Chau motorcycle tour, the leader will come to your hotel and accompany with you to the starting point. You should get familiar with your bikes before hitting the road because the traffic culture in Hanoi is very different from that in your hometown. It’s really crazy and doesn’t obey any traffic regulation. After 60 km on the highway, we will ride straight up to the hill, cross river, through the forest with 30km off-road before lunch. After lunch, we will do a sightseeing trip gently then experience the last 20 km dirt-road to Mai Chau village before dark. Overnight and enjoy the cuisine of the White Thai people.

Day 2: Mai Chau village - May Waterfall
After breakfast, at 7:30, you will ride around the village then embank into the forest again to challenge yourself. This will be the most difficult day of the 3; therefore, the itinerary of Mai Chau motorcycle tour may be changed in case of the bad weather conditions. As expected, we are going to Muong Village, take a break and have lunch there at 12h00. We reckon that you will not be able to hold your heart and want to jump right into the gorgeous cool stream along the stilt house. However, please do not hurry, we still have a long dirt track ahead in the afternoon and accommodation of this night is as wonderful as this place. It is located at the foot of the waterfall which is at the downstream of this spring. Cool beer, clean spring and beautiful accommodation are waiting for you
