Every season in Vietnam has its own beauty and unique colour. Spring is from February to April and you will see different shades of green everywhere in the north. This is usually the best time to ride.

Summer lasts for approximately 5 months through to the end of November. It is also the rainy season.

The scenery in the mountains is both colourful and diverse and that is when the rice harvest takes place. September and October you will see stunning views of the rice terraces where the whole landscape turns yellow. The experience is amazing.

Winter starts from mid November and lasts until early February.

You should book your own hotel in Hanoi , you can try websites like Agoda.com * they have competitive prices with what you can book in person.

Just as a rule of thumb our experience has shown that you should carry approximately $100 to $200 US or equivalent in Vietnam Dong. However this depends entirely on the length of the ride and is used mainly for your own personal souvenir shopping and alcoholic beverages.

That depends on where you want to go. In the northern mountains a distance of approximately 150-200 kms or 5-6 hours of riding is normal for trip lengths of 2 to 12 days. This also includes trip lengths of 14 days to explore the Northeast and Northwest combined.

Meanwhile the Ho Chi Minh trail tour provides longer distances of 200-300kms or 6-8 hours per day of riding with trip lengths of 10 to 14 days.(depending whether tour ends in Hoi An or Ho Chi Minh city.)
