Hanoi to HCMC Routes
We have 4 incredible motorbike routes between Hanoi & HCMC.
These routes can be completed in 2 – 3 weeks but we recommend taking 3 – 4 weeks to make sure you don’t miss anything along the way. All three routes work just as well, whether you start your trip in the North or the South
If you have some time left on your trip, why not also select another route for the north of Vietnam from Hanoi, or from HCMC in the south? You can see the additional routes here.

This route sticks to the coast from Hoi An to Nha Trang then comes inland to Dalat. Through this route you’ll get to visit some nice beach towns such as Quang Ngai and Quy Nhon.

This is the most suitable route for most people but takes at least 1 day more than the 2 above. This route heads inland but at Pleiku goes to the coast on the QL19.
