Day 1: DMZ and the Ho Chi Minh Trail

We begin our journey heading north to Quảng Trị province, home of the DMZ. Our first stop is the Hương Điền cemetery, one of the largest in Huế, where we’ll pay respects to soldiers who fought and died during the war.

In Quảng Trị town, we’ll explore relics from the intense 81-day battle between North and South Vietnam. Key sites include Long Hưng Church and the ‘Highway of Horror’. We’ll then ride along the beautiful coastal road, passing small fishing villages, salt farms, and shrimp farms.

Next, we’ll explore the remarkable Vịnh Mốc tunnels, an underground village with three levels reaching depths of 12, 15, and 23 meters, stretching 1,701 meters in total. We’ll then visit the Bến Hải riverbanks and Hiền Lương bridge, where Vietnam was divided by the Geneva Convention in 1954.

After lunch at Mieu base, we’ll ride 20 km up the eastern Hồ Chí Minh trail to Highway 9, ending our day at the Khe Sanh combat base where we’ll spend the night.

Day 2: The Ho Chi Minh Trail and Ethnic Villages

We start by visiting Khe Sanh base, Tà Cơn airport, and Highway 9 museum. The rest of the day is spent on the legendary Hồ Chí Minh trail. We’ll visit minority villages along the way, observing their community houses and daily activities.

You’ll witness Vietnam’s breathtaking beauty, from lush rainforests to spectacular waterfalls and stunning mountain vistas. We’ll spend the night in Prao.

Day 3: From Prao to Hội An

Our final day begins with a 52 km ride to Thạnh Mỹ on the western Hồ Chí Minh trail, where the western and eastern branches meet. We’ll then descend to Đại Lộc town, home to Vietnam’s largest pineapple farm, where you can enjoy fresh fruit straight from the source.

Crossing the Bồn river by local boat, we’ll explore the UNESCO World Heritage site of Mỹ Sơn. These Champa temples, built between the 4th and 13th centuries, offer a glimpse into Vietnam’s ancient history.

Our journey continues to Trà Kiệu village, renowned for its rice paper production. We’ll visit a family workshop to witness the traditional rice paper-making process.

Our adventure concludes in the charming town of Hội An, where centuries of history and culture await.
