“… Vietnam Trekking And Cycling Holiday is one of the most memorable trip of my life, over 16 days we passed through and stayed in a number of mountainous areas. Each stop was accompanied by an educational tour through museums, military sites, palaces or down a river into bay with fantastic escorting by our bilingual and informative tour guide, who helped us a lot during the trip. My trip was one to remember, suited to riders of all abilities, was well organised by Camellia Tours Vietnam’s team. It was superbly Vietnam!….”

Vietnam’s beautiful and tranquil capital lies at the heart of the northern Red River Delta. Hanoi is a city of lakes and leafy boulevards that still retains an air of French colonial elegance. Its fine coffee and perfect baguettes have led some to call it the ‘Paris of the East’, but Hanoi dates all the way back to AD 1010. It is a charming place to either unwind or visit some the many attractions, such as the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, One Pillar pagoda, Temple of Literature. Cycling around the Old Quarter and then enter to Thang Long Theater to enjoy the Water Puppet Show. Over night in Hanoi.

In 1954, Vietnamese achieved the impossible carrying heavy artillery into the mountains to defeat the French Garrison at Dien Bien Phu. As you ride along the route you will marvel at how this was ever accomplished. The surrender at Dien Bien Phu marked the end of French Indochina. It is not widely known that the US had developed a plan to aid the French by using tactical nuclear weapons at here. In the late afternoon, we have time to acquaint ourselves with Dien Biên Phu – the city is well known throughout the world as a battle field in the first Indochina War.

A well deserved rest day. High in the mountains, often shrouded in cloud Sa Pa is an old French hill station perched at 1,600m in the Hoang Lien Son range near the Chinese border. Its location boasts some of the best views of the surrounding peaks. Sa Pa holds one of the main markets in the area, where ethnic minority groups such as Hmong, Dao (Yao), Giáy, Pho Lu and Giay gather to trade their wares, wearing their intricately embroidered traditional dress. It is no wonder French colonialists saw Sapa as the perfect summer retreat.
