HA NOI - BAC SON VALLEY - HA NOI
Our guide and driver will pick us up at 7:00 am in our hotel in Hanoi for a 2- 2,30-hour drive to the point where our e-bike journey will get started. We will firstly ride to a village where we will be able to enjoy a delicious local lunch. Of course on our way, we will have the chance to make some interesting stopovers to take photos, to nose around the local markets that we will find en-route, or to responsibly interact with the neighbors that may stare at us curiously, since, for the time being, the area does not receive many visitors. Our guide will also help to make the most of our day trip in this regard, so don't be shy and have some chit chat with the locals so that you can check how willing they are to warmly welcome you in their district! After lunch we will continue with our journey through the stunning hilly scenery of Bac Son Valley, riding through meandering roads, crossing winding rivers that run through fertile fields, and being surrounded by the captivating peaks which characterize the scenery of this matchless region.
