A historian speaks: this path was not one, but several routes through Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. A bit like the silk route, it describes a number of ways from A to B.
There are practical difficulties nowdays in going in and out of Vietnam with a bike above 175cc. Similarly, not all the border crossing between these countries are open to foreigners. You thinking of doing it? I am sure some version is possible. Have a look around the BB and people's stories and you will get an idea of what is and isn't doable. It seems an excellent theme for a bike journey. Simon

Hi Joe,
Check out gt-rider.com for up to date info. I think many "parts" of the trail have been done , but I am not sure you could link them all together... Good Luck |
