Along trekking route

The road leading to Muong Hoa Valley is narrow, only small cars and bikes can go through. It is best for you to ride a motorbike to enjoy the amazing path and blend in nature. However, the road might get slippery and dangerous to ride if you’re not comfortable with riding bikes. Then taking taxi to reach Y Linh Ho Village is another reliable option.
