TOUR
SUMMARY |
The
bicycle is still the most common form of transport
in Vietnam, which makes cycling in Vietnam a
wonderful experience. The starting point is
the old capital of the Nguyen Dynasty, Hue.
From there we will cycle over the Hai Van
pass into the Vietnamese countryside, passing
rural villages on quiet back roads. We visit
the Cham Museaum in Danang, the
Marble Mountains and China Beach
on the way to Hoi An and the Cham
tower at My Son. We visit My Lai,
scene to one of the worst massacres of the American
Vietnam war. After relaxing at
Nha Trang and Muine beach, you will continue
to Hochiminh city as your last destination. |

RIDING
PROFILE |
We
cycle over 450 kilometers in 7 cycling days.
Lots of time on this tour is spent sight seeing
and exploring Vietnam. Participants can cycle
as much or as little as they like and still
enjoy the same views as the rest of the group.
There is one long day with a 10 km climb at
the end, and fit and experienced riders usually
find it sufficiently challenging. Fast cyclists
can ride at their own pace, as we supply detailed
route notes. Our route is designed to take us
off the main roads as much as possible, and
we explore scenic back roads. We spend very
little time on Highway One, cycling only on
the quiet and particularly scenic sections.
An air-conditioned support bus that travels
behind the group supports us all the time. |
