2 Day Motorcycle tour to explore the real Mountain life
Y Ty for sure and this is just the first step of a wonderful adventure, good things waiting in front of you. the dramatic mountainous landscape which you can see, continues all the way to the Chinese border. Several small roads penetrate deep into steep, terraced valleys and climb high above ferocious rivers, swollen with cold mountain water, to remote minority villages, where a handful of homestays offer basic accommodation for a night. Creating a scenic loop, starting and ending in Sapa via the hilltop hamlet of Y Ty, this short, easily-navigable road trip is a great escape from the increasingly grim and touristy mountain town of Sapa.
