Itinerary description
|
Very difficult stage for mileage, due to the accumulated positive unevenness and heat, because we are no longer at the same height as the first stages in the north of Ha Giang or Sapa. The first stretch is very comfortable, following a downhill valley in the middle of beautiful rural prints up to the huge Ban Creek hydroelectric dam. From here, the road follows the prey and is a real breakhead, under an overwhelming sun and with few shadows, until a tough climb will take us to the highest point of the stage. After a long descent (with a few stretches of interspersed climb) it will take us to the dam of the river Dà, to end up on another ascent to Quỳnh Nhai, a large village but nothing touristy where we will find 3 or 4 lodgings to choose where to pass the night The most positive part of the stage are some stretches with beautiful landscapes, rural villages lost in the mountains and very calm roads with sections without any traffic.

Arribant a la presa de Ban Chat
Suddenly there is an enormous wall of more than 100 meters in height. It is about the capture of Ban Chat, a Pharaonic construction completed at the end of 2013 that flooded a few valleys in the region.

Arribant a Quỳnh Nhai
Quỳnh Nhai is a large town without too much tourist interest where we will find 3 or 4 lodgings to choose where to spend the night. Despite the low influx of tourists, the surrounding karstic mountains gives it a great landscape and natural interest.

Etapa molt dura i feréstega per territoris molt poc transitats del Vietnam profund. És més dura del que els números semblen indicar degut sobretot a la forta calor d'aquest territori i al perfil trenca cames d'aquesta ruta.
Salut!
