Day 1: Ha Noi – Bac Son
160 km
4 hours
Bac Son Valley
We head our of Hanoi as quickly as possible on some of the larger roads. The idea is to get the city behind us and get into the countryside for some peace and quiet. We turn off onto quieter roads that take us through small villages and past open fields of rice and custard apple grove. We finally get to our homestay, which is nestled in the Bac Son Valley, and enjoy a home-cooked meal washed down with a little ‘fire water’.
Day 2: Bac Son – Ban Gioc
180 km
6 hours
Ban Gioc Waterfall; karst scenery; Tiger Cave
We are now in the countryside though still on fairly large road. If we get up early, we will have enough time to take some detours on smaller roads and still get to the waterfall before dark. We can choose to stay in another homestay or a small hotel. This depends on our mood and the weather.
Day 3: Ban Gioc – Cao Bang
120 km
5 hours
Evil Eye Mountain; Ma Phuc Pass; Thang Hen Lake
It is an easy trip to get back to Cao Bang from here so we have time to visit the waterfall or the nearby cave and even to put a toe in China. After lunch, we take the road to Cao Bang where we stay in a small hotel by the night market.
Day 4: Cao Bang – Bao Lac
100 km
4 hours
14 Level Pass; Nong Thong Town
We can choose our route to some extent here as we can either visit Uncle Ho’s Cave up in Pac Bo and then take the back road to Bao Lac or we can head straight over on the main road, which is still quite scenic and fun to drive at this point. The first option means we are a bit tight on time and the second allows us to dilly dally and have an easy day of it.
Day 5: Bao Lac – Dong Van
100 km
6 hours
Dong Van back roads
This is a very easy drive and it takes us past some great sights so it is good that we have the time to stop and hang out. There are plenty of photo ops here and we can rest assured of making it to our accommodation in time for afternoon beers.
Day 6: Dong Van
optional
-
Dong Van Plateau; Hmong King’s Palace; Lung Cu Flag Tower
