Itinerary Overview

Riding the Ho Chi Minh Trail on two wheels is like flipping through a living history book — one page of jungle, one page of mountain, and another of unforgettable stories. This 7-day Vietnam dirtbike adventure by The IA takes you across the spine of Central Vietnam, where wartime legends and raw natural beauty meet.
Starting from the ancient town of Hoi An, the route winds through Hue, Dong Ha, and Khe Sanh, where echoes of the Vietnam War still linger in the valleys and bunkers.
