Cao Bang Loop Motorbike Tour 4D3N From Vietnam’s Travel Blogger

Cao Bang Loop Motorbike Tour 4D3N is one of the great roads for you to experience. Xu Kien has had a 60-day experience in Cao Bang, however, to ease your schedule, I would like to summarize the journey into 4 days and 3 nights. We invite you to follow.

(Because English is not my mother tongue. So when you read the article you may find something wrong about the language. Hope for your understanding)

Where is Cao Bang located?

Cao Bang is a province located in the Northeast region of Vietnam. Cao Bang province is famous for the tourist destination Ban Gioc Waterfall – The waterfall is located on the border with China, and is considered one of the four largest waterfalls on the border in the world. Cao Bang is home to the Tay, Nung, Mong, Dao, Kinh, San Chay, Lo Lo and many other ethnic groups.

Traveling in Cao Bang, people often go to the whole palace of Sapa – Ha Giang – Cao Bang to complete the journey to conquer the North of Vietnam.

Experience in Cao Bang 4 Days 3 Nights

Day 1: Hanoi – Cao Bang City (280km)

To Hanoi, you rent a motorbike and then follow Google Maps straight to Cao Bang City. The road on this day is relatively easy, not too zigzag and many bends. If you start in the morning, around 3 pm you will have reached Cao Bang City. May be slower depending on your handlebars. Coming to Cao Bang city, you can sleep at Cao Bang homestay. Book a room here.

Day 2: Explore Pac Bo Cave, Lenin Stream – Tra Linh – Khuoi Ky Stone Village

From Cao Bang city, you go about 50km more to reach the ruins of Pac Bo cave and Lenin stream.

Pac Bo Cave is a historical relic of Vietnam’s revolution. The cave is located in Truong Ha commune, Ha Quang district. This place is also the starting point of Km0 of the Ho Chi Minh road. Pac Bo Cave is the place of revolutionary activities of President Ho Chi Minh during the years of fighting against foreign invaders. Although the cave is small, it contains many meanings.

Near Pac Bo cave is Lenin stream. The Lenin stream is associated with the name of the Russian revolutionary V. Lenin and the nearby Mount Marx. This is a cool and beautiful stream.

Visiting Pac Bo cave and Lenin stream can take you about half a day. After finishing, you return to Cao Bang city to have lunch.

In this day, you continue to move from Cao Bang to Tra Linh. Tra Linh is most prominent with the scenery of the mountain punctured by Nui Thung mountain – Angel eye mountain. The special thing about this mountain is that it is punctured in the middle of the mountain, so it is called the puncture mountain. Coming here, you will admire the herds of horses grazing, and listen to the murmuring waterfall right next to it. If you come here in the rainy months (May or June), you will admire a beautiful scene. That is the image of the mountain valley lying on the sea, looking very poetic.

Playing near to the afternoon, you move to Khuoi Ky Stone Village to rest. Here, you stay at Yen Nhi Homestay – Homestay No. 1 in Cao Bang. Enjoy playing Tinh, singing Then and typical local dishes in Cao Bang.

Day 3: Ban Gioc Waterfall – Phat Tich Pagoda – Nguom Ngao Cave – Bong Son Village

Ban Gioc Waterfall

In the morning of the 3rd day, you wake up and then go to Ban Gioc Waterfall to admire the scenery. Tickets to Ban Gioc Waterfall are currently 45,000 VND. You buy tickets to go inside to admire the beauty of Ban Gioc waterfall. You can rent a boat to get closer to the falls in Vietnam and also in China. At Ban Gioc waterfall, remember to check in milestone 836 (2) dividing the boundary between the mainland between Vietnam and China at the waterfall. Check in this milestone.

You can spend 2 hours for Ban Gioc waterfall, then return to Nguom Ngao Cave to stroll inside the cave.

Phat Tich Temple

Phat Tich Pagoda is located 1km from Ban Gioc waterfall by motorbike. Standing from above, you can see Ban Gioc waterfall in both Vietnam and China. You can sit and admire the scenery here for about 30 minutes depending on your preferences.

Nguom Ngao Cave

The journey to discover Nguom Ngao Cave takes place after you have finished Phat Tich Pagoda. Nguom Ngao Cave is also known as Tiger Cave. This is a very sacred place. This is the largest cave in the Northeast of Vietnam with an area of 3km long inside. Inside there are many beautiful stalactites, with many different shapes. The highlight of the cave is the lotus bud shape above, the average temperature is 18-25 degrees Celsius when moving inside the cave.

Trekking from Khuoi Ky Stone Village to Bong Son Village and back

In the afternoon, after having lunch at Yen Nhi Homestay, you will do a trekking from Khuoi Ky Stone Village to Bong Son Village. This is an isolated village inside the mountain. You will move through green corn fields, then to beautiful mountain clusters. The scenery on the road is extremely poetic. And sometimes you will see buffalo grazing on the road.

In the afternoon, after finishing trekking in Bong Lai, you can go to Phong Nam to see the scenery here. The scenery in Phong Nam is beautiful in the afternoon. However, it takes time.

Day 4: Khuoi Ky Stone Village – Hanoi

Day 4, you go straight from Khuoi Ky Stone Village to Hanoi. End of tour schedule in Cao Bang.

Above are my motorbike travel experiences to Cao Bang. Actually, Cao Bang still has many tourist attractions, but with a 4-day 3-night itinerary, I only recommend it for you to go like that. And there are also beautiful scenes in Cao Bang.

Hope your trip is safe and full of fun!
