Are you looking for an exciting and testing motorbike ride in north Vietnam, but don't want to be yet another one of those people around the table that have done the Ha Giang Loop? Then stand out from the crowd and astound your friends with tales of the gruelling Cao Bang Loop.
This is not for your run-of-the-mill weekend tourists, this is 6 days on a motorbike riding through some of the most stunning and interesting landscapes you can imagine: Mountain passes, epic waterfalls, authentic villages, and hidden caves. It will give you memories to last a lifetime, and stories you can dine out on for years. Sure you may get a little sore, but you will soon forget that when you are drinking "happy water" with friends at the end of the day. And what's a little soreness against 6 days of adrenaline-fuelled adventure anyway? This is truly the adventure of a lifetime.
Nobody remembers the pain. Everybody remembers the Cao Bang loop.
