STAGe 6 / ha giang loop tour / the queen rises
The Rising Queen indeed! Started at 7:30am, got in to Ha Giang at 6:30pm. Done, very much dusted, and, mad as it may sound - delighted. What a place, what a day, what a great bunch of people to share it all with…

Stage 1 / Ha Giang Loop Tour / Spring 2026
1000km and 19,000m of elevation - sounds fun? If so, you’ll love this!
Hanoi to Sapa by bike via the Ha Giang Loop, we ride, we sweat, we eat, laugh, wonder why we do this, then remember, sleep, and do it all over again.
Very little traffic, no other cyclists met at all on two previous tours, epic climbs and descents, stunning scenery - a slice of paradise…
LE COFFEE RIDE TAKE ON THE HA GIANG LOOP
‘High above the turquoise waters of the Nho Quế River, every kilometer delivers breathtaking views. It is a demanding but unforgettable stretch, where effort and altitude are rewarded with some of the most dramatic landscapes in Vietnam.’
YOUTUBE / KRYGYZSTAN, LAND OF DREAMS
880km and 9000m of challenging yet immensely beautiful riding was the reward for getting all the way to Kyrgyzstan! We stayed in guesthouses, in yurts by gorgeous lakes and three nights camping on the high plateau in the region of the famed Arabel Pass.
She stole our hearts, did Kyrgyzstan…
CYCLING IN ONOMICHI & THE shimanami kaido
In recent years the Shimanami Kaido has grown in popularity, with people coming from far afield to cycle the 77km route all year round. It is an amazing route, but, as is similar in life, it is off the beaten track adventure and new experiences await. On our tours in this area, we take you on journeys on the roads less traveled to meet local people and see a side of rural Japan that most miss by speeding by. This is an opportunity unlike any other on offer in this area.
Ride local, feel local!
17,000 Views / our Tokyo to kyoto blockbuster!
Our journey from Tokyo to Kyoto was really quite special, from the modernity of the capital to the beauty of Kyoto over the quietest roads, up on the old forest rindo trails (meaning ‘forest way). This one will live in the memory for a good while, for sure…
KYRGYZSTAN THE RIDICULOUS - DAY 4
The stunning Moldo Ashoo Pass stole the show this day - incredible!
Kyrgyzstan the Breathtaking - Day 3
Things got big today, with the landscape mesmerising us at almost every turn. Ended up by a beautiful lake on a plateau reminiscent of Mongolia, where we camped in yurts.
Kyrgyzstan THE ENTICING - Day 2
Day 2 was a beautiful ride to a little hamlet tucked inside a stunning valley. The centrla region is slowly opening up to us!
Kyrgyzstan the Mighty - Day 1
Day 1 in Kyrgyzstan and we are leaning into it! Leaving Bershkek, the capital, we head south-east and get a wee taste of what awaits us on this recon tour.
TOKYO TO KYOTO PHOTO gallery
800km and 11,000m from the beating heart of Tokyo, we cycled back in time to the ancient villages of Kiso and Shirakawa-go, down to Lake Biwa and right to the doors of our hotel in the center of Kyoto. A trip through time, a tour for the ages…

Ha Giang LooP / PT. 2 / OVER & OUT

DIARY / HA GIANG RECCE / Vietnam / 2024
A stellar 7 days of cycling in a landscape that took the breath away, literally and metaphorically. This tour offers the intrepid adventurer the opportunity to see a totally different side of Vietnam, far from the bustle of Hanoi, up in the high mountains of the tribes.
