Must-See Stops Along the Ho Chi Minh Trail
Riding the Ho Chi Minh Trail on a motorbike feels like stepping back in time while exploring Vietnam’s stunning landscapes. Starting from Hanoi, the trail winds through lush mountains, rivers, and remote villages, offering a mix of adventure and cultural discovery. Along the way, these stops stand out:
- Phong Nha-Kẻ Bàng National Park: I rode my Honda CRF250L through winding forest roads to reach this UNESCO site. The massive caves, dense jungles, and sparkling rivers create a surreal experience that makes every twist of the trail worth it.
- Khe Sanh Combat Base: Continuing south, the trail takes you to Khe Sanh, a historical Vietnam War site. Parking the motorbike and walking among bunkers and memorials, I felt the weight of history and the bravery of those who fought here.
- Laos Border Crossing: Near the border, the trail opens up to dramatic mountain vistas. Riding a Yamaha WR250R along narrow paths, I felt the thrill of adventure and the excitement of crossing from Vietnam into Laos, surrounded by breathtaking scenery.
