Itinerary Overview
The 12-day Northern Loop Vietnam tour is one of the most remote tours in the country. However, that intact and pristine area is home to several glorious destinations that are naturally preserved and almost intact by humans. They range from limestone mountains, rice terraces, river valleys, and green meadows. By exploring the north of Vietnam on motorbikes, seeing the diversity of nature and people, and witnessing their daily life in remote areas, you can get out of your comfort zone, explore the other aspects of life, and somehow understand the voice of mother nature.
