Ba Be National Park, nestled in Bac Kan Province, is a hidden gem known for its breathtaking lakes, majestic limestone mountains, and vibrant biodiversity. A cycling trip here is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the lush landscapes, venture through dense forests, visit charming ethnic minority villages, and soak in the serene beauty of Ba Be Lake.
Cao Bang Province, on the other hand, captivates visitors with its dramatic karst formations, especially the stunning Ban Gioc Waterfall on the border with China. Cycling through this region offers not only spectacular views but also a chance to explore historical sites like Pac Bo Cave, where Ho Chi Minh once lived and worked, as well as the opportunity to engage with welcoming local communities.
