It’s a six-week journey. Mostly in Vietnam, but jumping into Cambodia to see Angkor Wat and then finishing with a few days in Singapore.

This map gives an idea of my route. But all things are variable, I’m not too tightly tied to being in particular places and particular times – except for flights, of course…

Red lines are flights. Blue lines are buses. Turquoise lines are trains. Pink lines are motorbikes.

I start in Hanoi, but get there via HCMC. Then I head to Ha Giang for the relatively well-known loop through the uplands there. Tet, the Vietnamese new year happens while I’m there so all bets may be off after that.

After a quick overnight in Hanoi I’m off to Hue, Da Nang and Hoi An.

From Da Nang I’ll pick up another motorbike and ride part of the Ho Chi Minh Road, up to Phong Nha (supposedly the best biking road in Vietnam).

Then reverse direction and go back on myself down to Kon Tum and Da Lat. Last part in Vietnam is to stay in HCMC for a few days.

A quick hop to Siem Reap to take in (and around) Angkor Wat, before rounding off things with a couple of days in Singapore.
