AdventureHo Chi Minh Trail Motorcycle Tour – 12 Days
Ho Chi Minh Trail, Vietnam
12 days
Twelve days and roughly 1,965 kilometres from Hanoi down to the beach at Nha Trang, following the parts of the Ho Chi Minh Trail that are worth riding rather than the whole length of it. Vietnam Motorbike Tour Expert starts in the Mai Chau valley, picks up the trail proper at Tan Ky, where the supply route to the south began, and then takes the western branch through Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, a two-hundred-kilometre stretch the operator describes as almost empty of traffic. History is not incidental here: the route passes the Khe Sanh marine base and museum, the Vinh Moc tunnels and the Hien Luong bridge that once marked the border between north and south. Two full days off the long stages, in Hue and Hoi An, break the tour in half, and the last three days drop through the Central Highlands to Lak Lake and out to the coast.
