Cycling From Chau Doc Boder To Ho Chi Minh City. Sitting merrily on the languid banks of the Hau Giang, Chau Doc is the only delta town bar Can Tho in which you are likely to see foreigners in any significant numbers. Since the opening of the border to Cambodia a few kilometres north of town, the place has boomed in popularity, and it makes a decent bookend to a stay in Vietnam.
TOUR ITINERARY
Day 1: Chau Doc – Cao Lanh (L/D) (50-70 km)
Our cycling team will pick us up at hotels in Chau Doc then we spend more than an hour motorboat learning how to raise catfish at a floating village and the life of poor people living on their small boats as their home. Then you will have easy and relaxing cycling along the meandering banks of the Mekong River, from village to village on quiet cycling paths where you could see farmers growing vegetables, water rice plants, and fishing on natural creeks. A big surprise to you is an architectural impressive monastery where you cycle to and you take a little time to explore the beautiful Mekong Delta’s countryside and cross the Upper River before a transfer to Cao Lanh city.
Day 2: Cao Lanh – Sadec – Can Tho (B/L/D) (40- 70 km)
In the morning, you will have an opportunity to ride through villages of flowers, magnificent trees, ornamental flower beds, and fragrant flowers in the garden that attract butterflies, and bees. Stop for lunch at the house of Mr. Huynh Thuy Le in Sadec town, the central character in Marguerite Duras’s autobiographical novel, ‘L’Amant’. It considers a highlighted Site in the town of Sadec. After lunch, we leave Sadec for Can Tho city. We cycle on paths through scenic countryside, tiny villages with many rice powder mills, and past rice fields.
Day 3: Can Tho – Phung Hiep – Soc Trang (B/L/D) (60 km)
After your breakfast at the hotel, you will have a boat ride to the floating market of Cai Rang before an hour’s transfer to Phung Hiep for today’s ride. We will continue to bike through farming villages, lakes, and hamlets of Khmer people. We will end up today cycling at Bat pagoda. Have a short transfer to the hotel.
Day 4: Soc Trang – Dai Ngai – Tra Vinh (B/L/D) (65 km)
The highlight of today’s cycling is riding deeply into removed villages, which foreigners are rarely seen over here. We will have two ferries crossing at noontime before we bike through a huge rice paddy to Tra Vinh city.
Day 5: Tra Vinh – Ben Tre – Saigon (B/L) (25 – 50 km)
Your last ride will begin at the riverside of the Mekong River after a short drive from your hotels.
