Join VeloAsia for an adventure cycling tour, welcoming in the Vietnamese New Year while pedalling through the scenic country roads along the central and southern coasts. The journey takes the route along the beautiful coast from Hue to Nha Trang, then climbing up into the Central Highlands and finally down to Saigon. This 12–day itinerary features moderate riding distances, although still covering over 950 kilometres, whilst two support vans allow participants to ride as much or as little as they would like.

Rich with Unesco World Heritage Sites, highlights off the bike include quality time in Hanoi, the political and cultural capital of Vietnam with picturesque French–era villas and tree–lined boulevards, as well as Hue, the Imperial capital where travellers will ride through the charming countryside to explore the royal tombs. New Year’s Day is celebrated in the favourite place Hoi An, one of the rare places in Vietnam where genuine Vietnamese architecture can be found. To compensate the hard riding, evenings are spent in fine hotels ensuring a good night’s rest.
