Itinerary Overview

The South Vietnam Enduro Dirtbike Loop 6 Days with The IA is designed for riders who want a full-power, technical, and scenic enduro experience across the South’s wild terrains. Starting from Saigon, the route pushes straight into the forests of Nam Cat Tien, where rocky single tracks, river crossings, and red-earth climbs set the tone for the days ahead.
From there, you’ll ascend into the cool highlands of Da Lat, ride jungle trails toward the coastline of Nha Trang, and tackle the legendary Ta Nang – Phan Dung route — one of Vietnam’s most iconic off-road challenges. Expect steep ridges, pine forest paths, sweeping grass valleys, and long technical descents that reward you with open views and pure enduro satisfaction.
The loop finishes with a sandy, wind-carved run through Phan Thiet before heading back to Ho Chi Minh City, completing a hardcore circuit that blends mountains, forests, coastline, and some of the toughest dirtbike terrain in South Vietnam.
