  • Days 1-2

    Hanoi, Vietnam

    The Old Quarter's narrow streets are filled with street food vendors and local life. "The early morning walk around West Lake was peaceful - get there before 7 AM to see locals doing tai chi."

  • Days 3-5

    Northern Vietnam Highlands

    Ride through limestone peaks and ethnic Thai villages near Mai Chau. The route from Hoa Binh to Cao Phong has some tough spots with 5-10% inclines. If steep climbs aren't your thing, the support vehicle is there to help. You'll stay in traditional stilt houses. "Sharing rice wine with our homestay hosts was a highlight of authentic local interaction."

    
  • Days 6-8

    Central Vietnam Coast

    Take on the Hai Van Pass between Hue and Hoi An. Start at 7 AM before it gets too hot. The pass is steep but gives you amazing coastal views. Hoi An has flat terrain that's perfect for seeing rice paddies and villages. Book cooking classes early because they get full fast.

    
  • Days 9-11

    Southern Coast

    The road from Quy Nhon to Nha Trang shows off some of Vietnam's best ocean views. Start riding early since afternoon winds can be strong. Use your rest day in Nha Trang for morning snorkeling when boats are less crowded. Bring water shoes for the rocky beaches.

    
  • Days 12-14

    Southern Highlands to Ho Chi Minh City

    The ride up to Dalat is tough. Most cyclists take the vehicle for this part. Going down to Phan Thiet is exciting but watch out for loose gravel. In Ho Chi Minh City, ride in the morning when traffic is lighter.

    
  • Days 15-17

    Mekong Delta

    The Mekong rides are flat but hot. Start by 6:30 AM to beat the heat. You'll need good balance for the narrow paths between rice paddies. Wider tires help here. Stay hydrated in the 90% humidity.

    
  • Days 18-20

    Phnom Penh, Cambodia

    Roads get more basic in Cambodia. One cyclist said: "The dusty rural roads take getting used to - bring a buff to cover your face and good sunglasses." The border crossing can take up to 2 hours.

    
  • Days 21-23

    Siem Reap & Angkor

    Visit temples early to avoid crowds and heat. The Angkor Wat circuit is flat but open to the sun. Bring lots of water and electrolytes. Late afternoon light makes the best temple photos.

    
  • Days 24-27

    Thailand to Bangkok

    Good roads but long distances mark the final stretch to Thailand. You'll want the support vehicle for highway sections near Bangkok. Try to arrive on Sunday when traffic is lighter.

  • Days 1-2

    Hanoi

    Plan to arrive in Vietnam's capital in the afternoon to skip the morning traffic rush. Walk through the Old Quarter between 3-5 PM when the lighting makes for great photos. "The morning egg coffee at Giang Cafe was a highlight - get there before 9 AM to beat the crowds."

    
  • Days 3-5

    Halong Bay

    The 4-hour trip to Halong Bay leads to your luxury cruise on the Bhaya Soul. This boat visits quieter parts of the bay where you can kayak through limestone caves and bike on Cat Ba Island. Remember to bring quick-dry clothes for kayaking since water drips in the caves even on sunny days.

    
  • Days 6-8

    Hoi An

    After flying to Hoi An through Danang, settle into your boutique resort. Book your included spa treatments right away since they fill up fast. The UNESCO Old Town is best seen early morning before it gets hot. "The Japanese Bridge is magical at sunrise around 5:30 AM when locals do their morning exercises - bring your camera."

    
  • Days 9-10

    Hue

    Take the beautiful 3-hour Hai Van Pass drive to Hue. Visit the Imperial Citadel later in the day when it's cooler. Getting around by cyclo works better than walking since the historic sites cover more ground than you might expect.

    
  • Days 11-12

    Ho Chi Minh City

    Start at Cu Chi Tunnels in the morning to avoid peak heat. Visit the War Remnants Museum after 2 PM when most tour groups leave. "The back-alley food spots were incredible, but wear closed shoes and bring hand sanitizer" shares one visitor about the evening Vespa food tour.

    
  • Days 13-18

    Mekong Cruise

    Your Scenic Spirit cruise offers an in-depth look at life on the Mekong. Get to floating markets by 7 AM for the best selection. Pack light cotton clothes for the river humidity. Bring a sarong for temple visits in Cambodia.

  • Days 19-21

    Siem Reap

    Start at 4:30 AM for Angkor Wat sunrise but use the East Gate to avoid crowds. "The stones at Ta Prohm get slippery after rain - wear proper walking shoes, not sandals."

  • Days 22-24

    Luang Prabang

    Join the alms-giving ceremony at 5:30 AM. Dress modestly and stay quiet during this sacred ritual. Visit Kuang Si Falls in afternoon when sunlight streams through the trees.

  • Days 25-27

    Vang Vieng & Vientiane

    Take the high-speed train to Vang Vieng and see the Blue Lagoons early. Finish in Vientiane with stops at COPE Center and Pha That Luang before catching an evening flight to Bangkok.
