We have two options: one takes us around the very end of the Gam River mountain range, enjoying good riding on winding sealed mountain roads; the other crosses over the very end of the mountain range and takes us through the rain forest on a challenging, rocky road. The Gam River mountain range is the main range of northeast Vietnam. From Tuyen Quang, we continue on sealed road through renowned tea growing areas, where the hillsides are literally covered in plantations, from here just a short drive to the edge of Ba Be Lake. Overnight home-stay in the Tay’s family.
