Over four riding days you'll cross Bac Sum, Tham Ma and Chin Khoanh passes, explore Lung Khuy and Ta Lung caves, visit H'Mong hemp weavers in Lung Tam and the H'Mong King's Palace, and stand at Lung Cu Flag Tower near Vietnam's northernmost point. Hike the Ma Pi Leng Skywalk, take a boat through the Nho Que River canyon, and finish with a swim at Lung Pu Falls.
