Vietnam cycling is a great way to explore the countryside and rural villages in Vietnam. You can cover more ground on a bike than you can on foot, so you can see more of the place. Is it difficult to take a bike ride in Vietnam?
There are many different factors that contribute to the difficulty of a Vietnam bike tour, including, length of day, terrain, altitude and weather conditions. Since some of these factors are necessarily changeable, any system of grades can only provide a general indication.
Although we have tried to make our grading system as clear as possible, it cannot take into account your personal interests, abilities or experience.
