The Mai Chau Cycle Tour 2 Days is a private trip starting from Hanoi. Mai Chau Valley is one of the most sought-after destinations for road cycling in northern Vietnam. The tour begins with a car transfer from Hanoi to Pom Coong village in Mai Chau, where you’ll start your cycling adventure through the valley. As you pedal through scenic rice fields and local Thai villages, you’ll experience the beauty of the landscape and the culture of the region. The night is spent in a traditional homestay, offering a unique glimpse into local village life.
At 7:30 AM, you'll be greeted at your hotel in Hanoi by your Golden Trail Travel cycling guide and driver. Enjoy the scenic drive to Mai Chau, with breathtaking views along the way. From the summit of Cun Mountain, take in the spectacular panorama of Mai Chau, a lush green valley dotted with stilt houses. Upon arriving at Poom Coong village, enjoy an early lunch before starting your cycling adventure.
You’ll cycle towards the Thai village of Cun Pheo, following a combination of well-maintained single-track paths and undulating, rough jeep trails. The route offers stunning views as you pass through villages, rice paddies, hot springs, and suspension bridges, all while weaving through the beautiful terraced rice fields.
Upon reaching Cun Pheo village, you’ll have the rest of the afternoon free to explore on foot or continue your bike ride along the village trails. The day ends with an overnight stay in a local village homestay.
Today's ride offers a more challenging experience, but there will be plenty of opportunities to stop, rest, and take in the stunning views. After breakfast, you'll start with relatively easy biking on undulating terrain for the first seven kilometers. Then, the trail begins to climb – steep in some sections and more gradual in others. As you ascend, you'll rise above the valley, gazing down at small hamlets and immersing yourself in the surrounding forest.
Take a well-deserved break in a Thai village house, offering a welcome respite from the heat, before continuing the final climb to the top of the pass. Once at the summit, enjoy a thrilling 11-kilometer downhill ride back to Mai Chau. Afterward, hop on the bus and relax as we transfer your tired legs back to Hanoi, arriving in the late afternoon to conclude your Mai Chau Cycle Tour 2 Days.

During our cycling tours, we typically stay in small hotels, guesthouses, or homestays. Some accommodations may be more basic than others, and it's important to note that we often stay in locations off the beaten path, away from the usual tourist routes. In larger cities and towns, we choose more comfortable, western-style hotels, typically three or four stars, depending on the price option. Camping is generally not included in our cycling tours unless specifically requested, and it should be arranged well in advance. Camping is available only in select locations, such as Cat Ba Island Beach and Cuc Phuong National Park.
