In the early morning you’ll disembark the train at
Lao Cai, where you’ll be met and driven into the northern mountains to Sapa.
Your first cycle ride is a moderate 30km, travelling mostly downhill along the
Muong Hoa valley through scenic mountains and rice paddies, peopled with
several of Vietnam’s ethnic minorities, including Black Hmong, Giay and Red Dao
communities. At the end of your ride, you’ll be driven back to Sapa and your
hotel.
