Guide

All Intrepid cycling group trips are accompanied by one of our cycling leaders. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. Intrepid endeavours to provide the services of an experienced leader however, due to the seasonality of travel, rare situations may arise where your leader is new to a particular region or training other group leaders. Our cycling leaders are all passionate cyclists, as youโ€™d expect, but they also go through some pretty rigorous cycle-trip specific training. Each one has undergone on-road training and supervision and knows how to do safety checks, basic repairs and emergency first-aid. And at the end of the day theyโ€™re still regular Intrepid leaders, which means they will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the places visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. At Intrepid we aim to support local guides who have specialised knowledge of the regions we visit. If you were interested in delving deeper into the local culture at a specific site or location then your leader can recommend a local guide service in most of the main destinations of your trip. Generally we use different support crew and vehicles for each country, but all groups will be accompanied by one experienced cycling tour leader from start to finish, either Thai, Cambodian or Vietnamese. If required the tour leader will be assisted local guides from each country.

Transport

While there are occasions we use local public transport such as trains, buses or taxis to cover long distances or attend non-cycling activities we predominantly use the bicycle as our main form of transport. On most of our trips we also have a support vehicle as secondary transport for travelling longer distances, avoiding hazardous areas to cycle, as a backup should we have any incidents and of course an option for those that would prefer not to cycle for an hour or a day. These vehicles range from a minivan in most regions up to a full sized coach or overland vehicle in others. Your main luggage is transported in the support vehicle OUR BIKES - VIETNAM: In Vietnam we use a mixture of Giant Rincon Disc 1 and Giant Rincon 2 Disc bikes for sizes Small to Large. For size Extra Small we use the Giant Talon 4. These bikes are mountain bike-style with flat bars, front suspension, 24 gears and hydraulic disk brakes. For more specific information please see https://www.giant-bicycles.com/int/rincon-disc--gi--2019 OUR BIKES - CAMBODIA : & THAILAND: We use TREK FX : 3 Disc bikes for the Cambodia and Thailand portions of this trip. These bikes are mountain bike-style with flat bars, hydraulic disk brakes and Shimano 10 speed gears. For more specific information and sizing please see https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bikes/hybrid-bikes/fitness-bikes/fx/fx-3-disc/p/35021/ We use private coach/minibuses, which will be quite comfortable, usually with air-conditioning. There are a couple of long driving days on this trip (up to 7 hours). Road conditions are often not good, and progress can be slow. Boats are used at various points in the itinerary; these are nearly always private, and vary from converted trawlers to small riverboats. We use different vehicle set-ups in each country, as our vehicles do not cross international borders. In Thailand we have 100% vehicle support. There will be one or two support buses, plus a support truck for the bikes and baggage. In Cambodia, there is 80% vehicle support. On the circular rides around Angkor we are followed by a bus, which will carry bags and drinks, but will only have space for a few bikes, should some of the group wish to opt out during the ride. In Vietnam we have 100% vehicle support with vehicles to carry both clients and bikes. OVERNIGHT SLEEPER TRAINS IN VIETNAM: Compartments will be 4 berth to 6 berth depending on seasonal variations and the group configuration. We aim to secure 4 berth compartments where possible. A sheet, pillow and blanket are provided, although some travellers prefer to bring their own sleeping sheet. Passengers of different genders may be required to share a compartment and there will be occasions where youโ€™ll be sharing with local travellers or travellers who are not part of your group. On occasion the group may be split between several carriages, however your leader will coordinate and give further information on the trip. INCLUDED OR HIRE BIKES: CONDITIONS OF USE: You must not mistreat the bicycle and must return it in the same condition as when you received it (excepting ordinary wear and tear). You should immediately inform the supplier in the case of breakdown or loss. The provider is entitled to charge for any damage caused to the bicycle during the period of hire. You must also make sure that the bicycle is secured when not in use. If the equipment is lost or stolen you may be liable for the replacement value of the bicycle. The bicycle remains the property of the supplier and you may not sell, rent out or part possession with the bicycle. You must not use the bicycle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. BRINGING YOUR OWN BIKE: While weโ€™re confident in the quality and suitability of the bikes we include, we do recognise that sometimes you just need the comfort of your own bike to enjoy the ride. If you are thinking of bringing your own bike on this trip, please advise us at time of booking and take note of the below information. If you do choose to bring your own bike, please note that we will not being carrying a spare bike for you. SUITABLE TYPE OF BIKE: Although the surfaces of the roads we travel on are generally good there are occasionally gravel or potholed sections of road/track. As such, we recommend a โ€™mountainโ€™ or โ€™hybridโ€™ style bike with plenty of gear selections for easy cruising. For more details on the type of roads weโ€™ll be riding on see the โ€˜Physical Ratingโ€™ section of your Essential Trip Information. Please contact your booking agent if you have any questions about the suitability of your bike. We usually cannot accept tandem bikes on our trips as they are often too large for our transport. In some destinations we can make an exception. Please ask your booking agent if you are interested in bringing a tandem bike. BEFORE THE TRIP: We recommend that you have a full service of your bike performed by a trained mechanic to help minimise any issues you may have during the trip. Please also ensure that you have specific and adequate cover for loss, damage or theft for your bike under your travel, home and contents or specialist insurance policy. DURING THE TRIP: Your bike will be transported in the same way as our included bikes, usually in the support vehicle or on the bike trailer. While we endeavour to take the best care we can, you should recognise that transported bikes do get the occasional bump or scratch along the way. The same applies when we take other forms of transport, such as a train, where we are unable to pack the bikes ourselves. Your bike will be secured in the same way as our included bikes. This can occasionally be outside the vehicle (where the bikes are locked together). In order to reach our destination, it is necessary for us to travel via various modes of transportation, including planes and trains. Any extra costs involved with transporting personal bikes are your responsibility. This includes (but is not limited to) additional transport costs and customs/import fees. While our mechanics can usually assist with minor repairs, you are responsible for the safety and upkeep of your own bicycle. This includes conducting regular safety checks of your bike during the trip and cleaning your bike. In addition, any parts that require replacing are your responsibility. Most destinations have access to only limited spares along the way and access to bike shops can be days apart. Therefore, please ensure you bring any spare parts that you may require (especially specialist parts). TRANSPORTING YOUR BIKE TO/FROM THE DESTINATION: Your preferred airline should have no problem carrying your bike, but many will charge an extra fee. Contact them before departing to discuss their arrangements for transporting bikes. A well-padded bike box (obtainable from a bike shop) is usually the best method of plane transportation. We recommend that you accompany your bicycle on the flight. Unaccompanied bicycles have been known to spend some extra days in the hands of customs authorities. Many taxis are not large enough to transport a bike box/bag so you may be delayed waiting for a suitably sized vehicle. INCLUDED OR HIRE BIKES: CONDITIONS OF USE: You must not mistreat the bicycle and must return it in the same condition as when you received it (excepting ordinary wear and tear). You should immediately inform the supplier in the case of breakdown or loss. The provider is entitled to charge for any damage caused to the bicycle during the period of hire. You must also make sure that the bicycle is secured when not in use. If the equipment is lost or stolen you may be liable for the replacement value of the bicycle. The bicycle remains the property of the supplier and you may not sell, rent out or part possession with the bicycle. You must not use the bicycle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Accommodation

OVERNIGHT SLEEPER TRAINS: Compartments will be 4 berth to 6 berth depending on seasonal variations and the group configuration. We aim to secure 4 berth compartments where possible. 6 berth compartments have bench seats that convert into sleeping bunks. A sheet, pillow and blanket are provided, although some travellers prefer to bring their own sleeping sheet. On occasion, passengers of different genders will be required to share a compartment and there will be occasions where youโ€™ll be sharing with local travellers or travellers who are not part of your group. Most trains have a dining carriage serving simple food, but some travellers take the opportunity to stock up on fresh bread, cheese and fruit prior to departure. HOTEL IN HO CHI MINH CITY: Please note as this trip is a combination trip you may be required to move hotels in Ho Chi Minh City on day 10. Your leader in Vietnam will advise you if this is required and assist with transport to the next hotel. WINDOWLESS ROOMS: Some hotels in South East Asia have windowless rooms, or windows that donโ€™t necessarily have a view. This is often due to high population density in large cities, however local building standards also do not require rooms to have windows. We do request rooms with windows, however they arenโ€™t always available. BASIC ACCOMMODATION: Some of the accommodation along the way is very basic, staying in local guesthouses and homestays with limited facilities. Some facilities are shared and some accommodation has cold water only. Hotel (22 nights), Homestay (2 nights), Overnight sleeper train (1 night), Resort (1 night)

Itinerary of your trip Cycle South East Asia

  • Day 1 Day 1: Hanoi
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Hanoi

      Xin chao! Welcome to Vietnam. Your adventure officially begins with a welcome meeting at 6 pm tonight. If you arrive early, work your legs with a walk around Hanoiโ€™s charming shaded boulevards and squat on a short street-corner stool for a bia hoi (freshly brewed draught beer) in the Old Quarter, or join the queues at the famous Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. After your group meeting head out for an included dinner at the KOTO restaurant, Vietnamโ€™s first social enterprise.

  • Day 2 Day 2: Hanoi
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Hanoi

      This morning, youโ€™ll have some free time to explore the city at your leisure. If you havenโ€™t already, walking through the Old Quarter is really the best way to get a feel for the city โ€“ an architectural museum where the ancient โ€™36 Streetsโ€™ sell everything from souvenirs to exquisite silk clothing, jewellery, embroidered tablecloths, wood carvings and lacquerware. This afternoon, youโ€™ll cycle through the city on a quiet ride around West Lake. Pass by lotus lakes, old school villas and iconic temples including the Tran Quoc Pagoda โ€“ the oldest pagoda in Vietnam. Tonight, why not head out for Bahn mi and a local beer โ€“ your leader will have the best recommendations!

  • Day 3 Day 3: Mai Chau
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: Mai Chau

      Saddle up this morning as your cycling adventure kicks into first gear. Leave Hanoi behind and travel by bus to Hoa Binh, stopping at Vun Art on the way โ€“ a social enterprise run by people living with disabilities, specialising in craft products made from Van Phuc silk. When you arrive in Hoa Binh, youโ€™ll jump on your bike and cycle to Cao Phong through small ethnic Thai villages and paddy fields. As limestone peaks climb in the background, youโ€™ll take regular stops to admire the view across the valleys. When you arrive, take a short bus ride to Man Duc for lunch. Then, the bus will take you to the Da River Reservoir. Cycle along the Da River, passing karst cliffs through paddy fields. The peaceful town of Mai Chau sits in a beautiful valley surrounded by green mountains and is famed for its scenery and friendly hilltribe peoples. Tonight, youโ€™ll enjoy some local hospitality in your simple stilt-house homestay in the village of Poom Coong. After a home cooked meal, there may be a chance to sample some of the local rice wine thatโ€™s produced here.

  • Day 4 Day 4: Ninh Binh
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 4: Ninh Binh

      This morning you farewell your homestay hosts and cycle from Mai Chau to Mai Hai, and then on to Co Luong. Youโ€™ll ride through more paddy fields and test your riding skills (or suspension) with the shallow potholes that can be found on the road. Pass farmers riding atop their load drawn by lumbering water buffalo, ride through small towns and wave to friendly locals on your way through picture-perfect Vietnam โ€“ lush green fields, towering limestone mountains, tranquil waterways and charming historic sites. A bus trip then takes you along the Ho Chi Minh Road with a lunch stop before Ninh Binh. If you arrive in Ninh Binh with time (and energy) to spare you can take a 36 km cycle around the surrounding area. This is a wonderful chance to see everyday rural life in action as well as take in the beautiful countryside.

  • Day 5 Day 5: Ninh Binh - Overnight Train
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 5: Ninh Binh - Overnight Train

      This morning youโ€™ll cycle from Ninh Binh to Tam Coc, when youโ€™ll really have the opportunity to soak up one of Vietnamโ€™s most spectacular views โ€“ limestone karst peaks thrusting out of serene rice paddies, the sounds and views of the river, which winds through the fields and has boats parading up and down its length. You will also cycle to Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam under the 10th-century Dinh Dynasty, the remains of which can be seen in the lasting beautiful archways and temples. Here youโ€™ll take a lunch break at the Dinh or the Le Temple. Then itโ€™s back on the bus to return to your hotel, where you can use the day room to take a shower and freshen up. After an early dinner youโ€™ll transfer to Nam Dinh for an overnight train to Hue.

  • Day 6 Day 6: Hue
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 6: Hue

      Arrive in Hue and hop back in the saddle to begin your exploration of the former imperial capital of Vietnam. Hue holds the treasures of Vietnamโ€™s royal past and is a curious mix of bustling streets and tranquil settings. Today you will ride through the fields to visit many of Hueโ€™s remarkable sites, including temples, bunkers, tombs, ruins, pagodas and spectacular scenery. On your cycle you will visit the Imperial Citadel, including the Forbidden Purple City. The latter was almost totally destroyed during the Vietnam Warโ€™s Tet Offensive, but the foliage-covered ruins are still atmospheric and the gaping holes left by bombs give an idea of the destruction wreaked upon the country during the war. The itinerary is flexible and you have ample time for stops along the way to admire the sites. Later, kick back in a cafe or restaurant. Hueโ€™s cuisine is considered by many Vietnamese as the best in the country, and is influenced both by its imperial heritage (small dishes and a focus on aesthetic presentation) as well as its strong Buddhist heritage, reflected in the high proportion of vegetarian restaurants in the region. The bustling Dong Ba Market offers a wealth of goods and foods to see and snack on. Itโ€™s a good place to try some of the local specialities that graced the Nguyen emperorsโ€™ banquet tables, such as the โ€˜banh khoaiโ€™, Hueโ€™s answer to the pancake.

  • Day 7 Day 7: Hoi An
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 7: Hoi An

      Today will be big on riding and big on spectacular views. Leaving Hue, you will do some mountainous riding as you conquer the Hai Van (Ocean Cloud) Pass on the way to the tropical south and the laidback town of Hoi An. The pass is a stunning stretch of highway the winds through the Truong Son mountain range, with views across the Bay of Danang to the south. It is 500 m about sea level and the up/down slope ranges from 5-10%, and there will be plenty of well-earned breaks along the way to take in the views, snap some photos and rehydrate. After the rewarding vistas on the cycle in, youโ€™ll also be spoiled with the town of Hoi An โ€“ with lantern-lit streets, vibrant markets, skilled tailors, artisan shops, ancient houses, colourful temples and beautiful smiles, itโ€™s a Vietnamese wonderland. Recently declared a World Heritage site, Hoi An is being beautifully restored and preserved, with parts of the town looking exactly like they did more than a century ago. This makes its streets of low tiled buildings perfect for strolling. Take the evening to soak up the atmosphere, or just rest your legs at a local restaurant after a dayโ€™s riding.

  • Day 8 Day 8: Hoi An
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 8: Hoi An

      This morning you leader with take you on a walking tour of the town, which used to be a busy port for the Cham people before the river silted up. Thereโ€™s also a strong Chinese influence, and youโ€™ll see it as you walk past the pagodas and assembly halls. On your tour youโ€™ll take in a historic house (formerly home to a prominent trader), the Japanese Covered Bridge, a Chinese assembly hall and a museum. The afternoon is free for you to do whatever takes your fancy. For those who love to shop then Hoi An is a mecca, with much to browse and buy. There are original paintings, handcrafted woodwork, ceramics, embroidery, lanterns and more. If you want to get some new threads then the town is also famous for its tailoring โ€“ pick a fabric and a design and itโ€™ll be ready the same day. If you feel like keeping active then there are the options to take a 15-20 km ride into the surrounding countryside, to cycle to nearby Cua Dai Beach, or to take a stroll through fields of rice, sesame, banana and peanuts.

  • Day 9 Day 9: Quy Nhon
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 9: Quy Nhon

      Continue south, down scenic Highway One on the road to Quy Nhon, one of the routes that is less visited by travellers, past paddy fields, wheat drying for Beer Hoi, and locals playing chess to Phu. Climb back on the bikes to cycle to the coastal city of Quy Nhon. The city is filled with long stretches of beach and relaxed boulevards, and as itโ€™s pretty undiscovered by visitors, is a great place to get an authentic slice of coastal life.

  • Day 10 Day 10: Nha Trang
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 10: Nha Trang

      Todayโ€™s cycle is one of the most breathtaking stretches of road youโ€™ll ride โ€“ the highway hugs huge granite cliffs and looks out across the deep blue sea. Following parts of the Reunification railway, youโ€™ll enjoy scenery of islands and lagoons. Join the scooter riders on the waterfront promenade as you arrive in the idyllic coastal town of Nha Trang, once referred to as the โ€™Cannes of the Orientโ€™, and whose sandy palm-lined beach and island-dotted bay still make a pretty idyllic picture. Here thereโ€™s consistently good weather, a vibrant nightlife and excellent diving.

  • Day 11 Day 11: Nha Trang
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 11: Nha Trang

      Today youโ€™ll swap your bike for a boat as you head out to explore the nearby islands. This excursion is often the highlight of the trip for many travellers, as youโ€™ll get to know some of the locals and indulge in the beauty of the place. Starting on the main boat, youโ€™ll then take a small basket boat to shore and visit a fishing village, snorkel in the turquoise waters and feast on a fresh seafood buffet for lunch. You can enjoy this rest day by lazing in a deck chair, going for another swim or perhaps taking a mud baths to soothe away sore muscles.

  • Day 12 Day 12: Dalat
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 12: Dalat

      Head up through the Bidoup-Nui Ba Pass into the cooler climes of the South Central Highlands, where some of the countryโ€™s best fruits, flowers and coffee beans are grown. The road is winding and steep but if youโ€™re fit and ready for a challenge, you may want to conquer the whole mountain on your bike. If youโ€™re not so physically inclined, take it easy and flag a lift from the bus. Whichever way you choose to get to the top, youโ€™ll still be treated to magnificent views once you reach the summit. After a short photo stop here, you will descend to Dalat. One of Vietnamโ€™s most delightful cities, Dalat is a perfect base to explore this pleasant region. With an appealing Swiss-French feel, along with pleasant lakes, palaces, pine tree-covered hills, flower gardens and pagodas, Dalat is often called the โ€™city of eternal springโ€™ for its temperate climate.

  • Day 13 Day 13: Phan Thiet
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 13: Phan Thiet

      This morning youโ€™ll take a city tour of Dalat, making the journey to Bao Daiโ€™s striking regal summer palace. He was the final emperor of the Nguyen dynasty, and the last to rule Vietnam until 1945. Youโ€™ll then discover the wacky and weird architecture of Hang Nga Crazy House. Echoing Gaudiโ€™s unconventional designs, and described as a โ€™fairytale houseโ€™, explore the twisted tree roots, cave shaped hallways and animal themed rooms of this surreal guesthouse. Drop by the train station and the central market before continuing to Di Linh, where tea is the main industry and there are large plantations in the surrounding hills. After lunch, pedal down the forest-lined Gia Bac Pass, then cycle along from Malam to Phan Thiet and itโ€™s beautiful beaches.

  • Day 14 Day 14: Ho Chi Minh City
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 14: Ho Chi Minh City

      Before heading for the big city, take in the views along the beach on your ride to Lang Long. After a picnic lunch, keep cycling to Cu Bi. From there itโ€™s goodbye to your two-wheeled friend as you take the support bus the final leg to Ho Chi Minh City. Here daily life plays out on the streets and the dynamic atmosphere is a fascinating blend of old and new, East and West. Maybe spend the evening exploring the food stalls at Ben Thanh market or cheers to your new friends leaving the trip with a few glasses of street-side beer hoi.

  • Day 15 Day 15: Ho Chi Minh City
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 15: Ho Chi Minh City

  • Day 16 Day 16: Mekong Delta
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 16: Mekong Delta

      Take a bus ride to the Mekong Delta. Known as the โ€˜rice bowl of Vietnamโ€™, the fertile delta is famous for its harvest of tropical fruit, flowers and rice, as well as the views over the canals. When you arrive in the region, get on your bike for the first full day of cycling. Ride along quiet backroads, past farms and villages and make a stop for lunch. Youโ€™ll also get to visit orchards and some local cottage industries. Around sunset, make your way up one of the canals by boat and reach your homestay. Stay with a family for the night and enjoy a wonderful meal of local specialties.

  • Day 17 Day 17: Chau Doc
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 17: Chau Doc

      Start the day early with a boat ride, then a bus to riverside Sadec where you start todayโ€™s ride, shaking out your sea legs with a cycle through the bustling settlements along the river. Here youโ€™ll see more of local life dependent on this vital and beautiful river, including lunch at a local community. Cycle on and then take a ferry and bus to Chau Doc which is right next to the Cambodian border.

    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 22: Siem Reap

      The name Angkor always captures the imagination, conjuring up images of soaring temples set in deep jungle hidden from the world for generations, and there is simply no better way to experience the allure of Cambodiaโ€™s legendary Angkor temple complex than by bicycle. Faster than walking yet able to go places that the big tour buses just canโ€™t go, cycling at your own pace along quiet, secluded small roads and jungle trails gives you the feeling that you are the first person to discover Angkor as you visit many small temples hidden from everyday view. Thatโ€™s not to say you miss out on the icons, with visits to Angkor Wat, the greatest Buddhist temple in the world, as well as guided visits to the iconic jungle-covered โ€˜Tomb Raiderโ€™ favourite Ta Prohm, and the sheer majesty of Angkor Thom all included. Seeing this magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Site in such an environmentally friendly way, with no pollution or strain on the environment also helps to preserve this magnificent icon for future generations.
