After exploring Saigon, the riders spin through the Vietnamese highlands to the coast with its sandy beaches and small fishing villages. The cyclists pedal past the ancient trading port of Hoi An before arriving in the historic imperial capital of Hue.
The route continues past the stunning karst formations and legendary caves of Phong Nha National Park and along the fabled Ho Chi Minh Trail before crossing into Laos and the mighty Mekong River which they follow to the country’s laid-back capital, Vientiane.
The riders head north into the mountains where a long descent delivers them to charming Luang Prabang. Heading west through remote hilltop villages they cross the Mekong River into Thailand and follow back roads toward the timeless temples of Chiang Mai.
The route heads south pedalling past verdant rice paddies and into Sukhothai, the first of the three Kingdoms of Siam and Ayutthaya, the second Kingdom of Siam. The riders then trade their bikes for a boat and sail into Bangkok, home to Wat Traimit and the legendary Golden Buddha.
