Time to Climb
My name’s Yash, and according my boss Emily, we had 3 good reasons to trek up this incredible mountain:
1. Asian communities have longstanding traditions of climbing mountains at the start of spring. But, the higher we climb, the more luck we gather so why not make the journey to the Roof of Indochina.
2. To spend some time with our boss!
3. To get off the grid and have an inspiring experience.
And so, a group of good looking, young, strong and brave office workers hiked! Carrying backpacks up the mountain.
The road that climbs up Fansipan isn’t easy. Over two days you trek and trek, finally reaching the peak! The last 2 hours of hiking mark the final efforts to defeat Fansipan, yet are the most slippery, messy and difficult steps. It’s hard to remember exactly why but this part of the journey tested everyone’s will!

Finally!
Reaching the peak isthe greatest of victories, and staying behind means being stuck in the mud forever. Luckily, everyone was fired up that morning, and pushed through the final hurtle. Everyone climbed and climbed till at last a glimpse of the mountain top was in view! Time to bask in the glory of the view and wipe off the mud at last.
Thinking it over, the road to victory (assuming reaching the peak of the mountain is victory!) is a road of difficulty and challenge, uphill and uphill again, turning left and downhill and then back uphill…. everyone knows that. But when victory is imminent and the mud drags us down, only will, determination, concentration and teamwork can guide us. That’s for sure!
It was fated that we’d make it and everything was set in place. We listened to coworkers reciting poems and breathed in the chilling air flickering our flashlights through thick fog. Everyone was exhilarated to participate and thrilled to have made it to the top! Over three thousand meters high and what a ride it’d been. In our beliefs, there is nothing that happens by “accident”. Our connections, journeys, experiences, conversations, pleasures, and pains… are all due to fate.

What our clients say about us
Eriberto P
16 March 2024 ★★★★★We did a 10 day private tour of Thailand with Amazing Bike Tours (ABT), including a couple of days of biking in Chiang Mai and a day in Phuket. ABT put together a great mix of biking and classic tours at a reasonable price. They responded quickly to emails and were very easy to deal with. The whole trip was fantastic, from the boat trips to James Bond Island to staying overnight in Bangkok and other towns. Our guide, Tom, was not only knowledgeable but also really friendly - he even became our unofficial photographer and shared all his photos with us. I definitely recommend ABT if you're planning a trip to Asia.

23 April 2024 ★★★★★I booked Cycle Thailand to Cambodia in 2023. Stephen at Amazing Bike Tours was excellent, very helpful, responsive and knowledgeable. In particular, our local tour guide Tom was outstanding. He was essential to connecting with local village people, visit remote villages, and explore exotic food. Can't wait for my next adventure

5 May 2024 ★★★★★We spent 12 days with Amazing Bike Tours from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh via Battambang. Our tour was perfectly tailored to our route and physical condition and on the last day, we were safely transported to our beach accommodation in Sihanoukville. The organization was flawless from start to finish. The accommodation was also comfortable, allowing us to rest well after eventful days. The tour provided great value for money. The experiences were unique and could fill two vacation reports! The bikes were perfectly adjusted to our needs, with well-maintained gears and brakes. If there was a minor issue, the guide promptly addressed it. The minivan support was modern and very comfortable. The driver was excellent and we felt safe! Besides the visual impressions, we learned a lot about the country and its people.

18 January 2024 ★★★★★We had a custom and private 3-day bike tour in the Mekong Delta with Loc, our expert bike tour guide who organized, coordinated, and led three days of fantastic bike touring. Our tour of the the Mekong Delta included Cai Lay, Cai Be, Can Tho, and My Tho, before catching a luxury Mekong River cruise up to Cambodia. Loc was a great guide who really helped us appreciate the culture of the untouched tourist areas of the delta where we met fantastic people and toured through incredible villages, markets, Khmer temple, and even a local school. Loc did an excellent job of pacing the bike ride to our activity level and we enjoyed some great lunches at some local residences, even picking up some rat at a local market we toured and having it expertly prepared at a local home. Our best, most authentic Vietnamese meals were enjoyed on this biking tour. We had a van w/driver following us throughout the bike rides to ensure we had plenty of water and picked us up when we were ready to be done for the day. Loc also gave us a tour of Saigon as well as the underground Vietnam war tunnels at Cu Chi. I can't say enough about the biking tours and Loc was just a fantastic guide. We hated to say good-bye as we continued our tour of Southeast Asia but will always cherish the bike tour we had with Loc in Vietnam.
