    Reply from: Bravo Indochina Tours
    Thank you for your feedback! We are thrilled that you enjoyed the overall vibe of the trip and appreciated our guide’s best efforts to keep you happy. To clarify the mix-up, during the low season, we always try to guarantee departures even for one person rather than canceling your plans, which is why it became a private tour. Also, due to the unpredictable mountain terrain in Northern Vietnam, our routes are sometimes adjusted to paved roads to ensure safety. Thank you again for choosing to travel with us. Wishing you many more wonderful adventures ahead! Warm regards,

    Asked on July 21st, 2025

    Can you describe the preparations and plans in the event of heavy rains? Should we anticipate rain on most days of the tour? I see two different total daily distance #'s. (50-70 km and 60-100km) can you clarify this? Does day 1 begin with the train ride to Sapa departure at 8:00 PM?

    • Bravo Indochina ToursOperator•Written July 2025

      August is the rainy season in Vietnam, but the weather patterns differ greatly across the country. The heavy, persistent rains are much more common in the South. Here in the North, where your tour will take place, rain is possible but not too often. The distances are flexible to cater to your fitness and how you are feeling each day. The 50-100 km range is a general guideline for what's possible. We will tailor the ride's length and daily elevation gain based on your preference, the terrain, and the day's weather conditions. Day 1 of the itinerary begins in the evening with the overnight train from Hanoi to Lao Cai (the gateway to Sapa), which departs around 10:00 PM. We pick up from your hotel in Hanoi around 8:30pm
