Recommended Motorbike Routes
The following routes are commonly chosen by experienced riders for their scenery and village access.
Route 1: Hieu Village – Son, Ba, Muoi Villages
This route is steep and winding, including Eo Mao Pass, one of the highest slopes in the region. From the top, riders can enjoy wide panoramic views over Pu Luong’s mountains and forests.
Son, Ba, and Muoi villages lie at around 1,200 meters above sea level, with scattered houses along the road. The higher you ride, the cooler the air becomes. Travelers often stop briefly to rest, enjoy tea with locals, or simply take in the landscape.
Route 2: Hieu Village – Cao Hoong – Kit Village
Often referred to as the “rice field route,” this road passes through some of the largest rice terraces in Pu Luong. As you ride deeper into the villages, the surroundings gradually feel more remote and forested.
Both Thai and Muong communities live along this route, each with distinct languages and cultural traditions. The road becomes increasingly winding, offering a sense of exploration rather than speed. Lunch stops can often be arranged with local families.
Route 3: Hieu Village – Tien Moi – Chieng Lau – Uoi – Kho Muong Village
This is one of the most popular routes among experienced riders. Along the way, you may pass:
Traditional water wheels in Chieng Lau
Bamboo forests in Tien Moi
Kho Muong Bat Cave, one of Pu Luong’s notable limestone formations
The route is approximately 30 km and includes challenging sections. Many riders choose to stop for lunch in Kho Muong Village before returning.
