We will ride 100 km along the borderline between Laos and Vietnam to see Van Kieu ethnic hill tribes and their villages. Also, you will learn about the historical background and origin of the Ho Chi Minh Trail since it was a hidden trail not known by the US Army to bombard. You will also discover more about rural life in one of the most remote parts of the country. We will make a stop at Van Kieu ethnic hill tribe village for you to get acquainted with their culture and sustainable way of living.
We’ll then stop at another local village for a traditional Vietnamese lunch before riding another 100km to the south of Khe Sanh. We will make some stops to see important relics of the Vietnam War and visit the US compass base in Khe Sanh where you can see tanks, helicopters and planes as well as a small war museum.
