Experience Traveling To Tà Xùa By Motorbike Safely And Completely.

If you love free-spirited trips and want to fully experience the beauty of the Northwest mountains, traveling to Tà Xùa by motorbike will surely provide you with unforgettable experiences. Not only will you have control over your time, but you will also have the opportunity to stop anywhere to enjoy the scenery, hunt for clouds, or capture beautiful moments along the way.

From Hanoi, you can travel along National Highway 32, through Nhổn – Sơn Tây – Thanh Sơn – Thu Cúc – Phù Yên – Bắc Yên, and then continue for about 15 more kilometers to reach the center of Tà Xùa commune. The total distance is about 220–240 km, and the travel time varies from 6–8 hours depending on speed and breaks along the way.

The majority of the route from Hanoi to Bắc Yên is quite beautiful and easy to travel on asphalt roads. However, the section from Bắc Yên to Tà Xùa has many sharp turns, steep slopes, and often experiences fog in the early morning or late evening. On rainy days, the road can be slippery, so the rider needs to have a steady hand, maintain a stable speed, and absolutely avoid overtaking at blind curves.

For a safer trip, you should travel in a group of 2 or more motorbikes to support each other when necessary. Before departing, check the tires, brake system, lights, horn, and change the oil if needed. For manual or semi-automatic bikes, apply the principle of "shift up and down accordingly" when going downhill to brake with the engine, minimizing continuous braking that causes overheating and brake failure.

Essential items to prepare

To make your trip smoother, you should bring:

• Warm jacket and raincoat.
• Gloves, face mask, and windscreen glasses.
• Flashlight or headlamp.
• Cash as many areas do not support electronic payments.
• Drinking water and some snacks.
• Power bank and phone holder if using maps.
• Tire repair kit or mini pump if traveling by personal vehicle.

Renting a motorbike in Bắc Yên

If you do not want to ride from Hanoi, you can choose to take a bus or limousine to Bắc Yên, and then rent a motorbike to continue your journey exploring Tà Xùa. This is a popular option among many tourists as it saves energy and ensures safety on the long journey.

The rental price for a motorbike in Bắc Yên usually ranges from 150,000 to 250,000 VND/day, depending on the type of bike and the time. It is advisable to prioritize renting manual or semi-automatic bikes with strong engines for convenience when traveling on steep roads.
