Voyage Vietnam can help you plan bespoke motorcycling tours throughout Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and into China, or you could join one of the many tours they run regularly throughout the region. I somehow managed to convince my wife to ride pillion with me for nine days through the north east of Vietnam as part of our round-the-world honeymoon last year. Vietnam offers a feast of motorcycling delicacies - mind bending traffic in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh, more than mental bus drivers in the outer limits, sweeping country roads criss-crossing the highlands, deserted French Indochina colonial supply trails through the forests and jungles - but the best are to be found in Ha Giang province, sitting snug against the Chinese border in the far north. Dodging piglets playing chicken in the road and braving unidentified local delicacies became daily trials but they were all made easier with our guide and mechanic provided by Voyage Vietnam. Staying with families in homestays who were often part of regional ethnic minorities like the H'mong and Red Zao tribes, meant we were giving something back to communities who have been left behind by Vietnam's recent development explosion. And the scenery? Everything from the quintessential terraced rice paddies and bamboo forests by Thac Ba Reservoir and Xin Man to tall pines and volcanic rocky outcrops by Yen Minh and Meo Vac.
