I’m starting to plan a motorcycle trip from Marrakech to Dakar for September 2027.
The idea is to cross southern Morocco, then Mauritania, and finally Senegal all the way to Dakar, taking the time to explore the regions we pass through.
I’m especially looking for advice and feedback from people who’ve already done all or part of this route: recommended itinerary, road and track conditions, border crossings, formalities, safety, fuel, accommodations, must-see stops, things to avoid, etc.
I’d also love to hear your thoughts on traveling in September for this trip.
If any motorcyclists want to join the adventure, that’d be great! The idea is to form a small group, each covering their own expenses, and plan the trip together.
All your tips, experiences, and good addresses are welcome!
Having made the France-Mauritania route over thirty times, the last one just last year, I can give you one piece of advice: September is the rainy season in Mauritania and Senegal. This means sometimes a lot of rain and road sections or fords underwater, or even parts of the road cut off or damaged (the tarmac in Mauritania is something else, haha).
For the itinerary, it depends on whether you take the only road connecting Morocco to Mauritania or if you plan to go off-road.
From Mauritania, two options from Nouakchott: either crossing via the Rosso ferry, which many travelers will advise against, or via Diama, which I’d advise against in September due to the risk of muddy tracks and a lot of mud—so it’ll be very tough physically.
The best would be to wait until the end of September.
This year, Nouakchott was completely flooded...
As for Senegal, no idea—I hope you’ll get some answers.
The border crossing is very simple: formalities, possibly an inspection of your panniers, but above all, bring plenty of photocopies of your passport for the trip through Mauritania.
(I’d love to come as a passenger...)
Normally, there’s no problem with fuel supply in Mauritania, unless you plan to take tracks (like the one along the railway line).
Are you planning to visit the country or head straight to Dakar?
For accommodation, there aren’t many options in Nouadhibou—it depends on what you’re looking for. The *Camping du Lévrier* in the city center has cheap rooms, is close to shops, and is protected by walls and a gate.
You’ll find other accommodation options that are a bit more expensive or farther from shops if you need more info—I’m happy to help.
In Nouakchott, it’s the same: plenty of accommodation, especially in the Tevragh Zeina district near the embassies. Again, if you need details, I’m here.
After that, I don’t know much, since I’ve always been hosted by my Mauritanian friends, at least throughout the country. But if you pass through Atar, I recommend staying with Sid Ahmed at *Camping Imini* (he has a few rooms too).
If you’re heading to the Banc d’Arguin, bring extra fuel cans... (I’m guessing your tank doesn’t hold more than 20 liters? I’m thinking of a Honda Tenere 700, which only carries 16 liters).
I’m sending you a video of a guy who recently did Dakar-Tangier by motorcycle—at least you’ll have his feedback...

Hi Khalid,
for accommodations, it depends on your stops... after passing Guelmim,
here are my stops:
a little moment of happiness at Ksar Tafidnit before Tan Tan (on the right side of the road before the river crossing),
Tan Tan Plage (El Ouatia) – camping within an enclosure with rooms,
Akhfennir, hostel La Courbine d'Argent (a bit of luxury to treat yourself, but it's worth it),
Boujdour: camping within an enclosure with rooms.
If you take a detour through Dakhla, there are plenty of hotels and hostels...
Many travelers, before crossing Guerguerat (Morocco-Mauritania border), stay at the Barbas Hotel in Bir Gandouz,
90 km from the border.
Otherwise, you can also sleep at the border.
For Nouakchott, good and easy-to-find places near the main road and in the Tevragh Zeina district:
Hotel Samira with motorcycles secured within an enclosure,
Sébastien Bouhot’s hostel Le Triskell, also with an enclosure,
guesthouse of Salek +222 47 81 55 95, which welcomes Italian motorcyclists... (garage and enclosure).
Good evening Christine,
A big thank you for all this information—it’s exactly the kind of firsthand experience I was looking for.
Your comment about the rainy season is making me seriously consider pushing back the departure to November, or even early December. I’d rather choose a more favorable time and truly enjoy the trip instead of struggling with rain and mud on certain stretches.
A little more detail about our project: we’re 4 work colleagues, and we’re planning this adventure with 2 motorcycles and a support van. The idea is to ride the bikes for most of the route while using the van for logistics, luggage, gear, spare parts, and, of course, a bit more safety in case of issues.
Our goal isn’t just to reach Dakar as quickly as possible. We really want to enjoy the journey, explore the regions we cross, and take the time to make some interesting detours, especially in Mauritania.
For now, I’m imagining something like:
Marrakech → Guelmim → Tan-Tan → Akhfenir → Laâyoune → Dakhla → Bir Gandouz → Guerguerat → Nouadhibou → Nouakchott, then continuing toward Senegal and Dakar.
But I’d actually like to use this trip to explore Mauritania more, possibly the Banc d’Arguin and maybe even Atar if time, roads, and conditions allow with our two motorcycles and the van.
I’m carefully noting your contacts in Nouadhibou and Nouakchott, as well as your advice about passport photocopies, fuel, and formalities.
For the crossing into Senegal, I initially thought of Diama, but after your message, I’ll definitely look into both options—Diama and Rosso—depending on the season and, most importantly, the road conditions for the van.
We’re still in the early stages of planning, and that’s exactly why I prefer to build the itinerary step by step, thanks to the experiences of those who really know this route.
If you or other travelers have recommendations about must-see stops in Mauritania, routes that are reasonably accessible with our 2 motorcycles + van setup, border formalities, or interesting spots between Nouadhibou, Nouakchott, and Senegal, I’d love to hear them.
Thanks again for your help and advice.
Khalid
Thanks for your reply—it’s rare for forum members to say thank you!
I’m curious to know what type of motorcycle you’re using.
Yes, it’s definitely a good idea to have a van for support and extra fuel reserves, especially since Morocco won’t let you through with full jerry cans.
I’d recommend bringing some fuel additive—I’ve had a few surprises in Mauritania that weren’t great for the engines.
Don’t forget a compressor in case you’re tempted to ride on some sand!
Regarding Banc d’Arguin, if you have a van and it’s not 4x4, take the access via NOUAMGHAR—the road is paved (though rough, haha) and gives you a first glimpse of part of the park.
You might be able to sleep in Nouamghar, but note that entry to PNBA is paid (sorry, I’ve never paid because I help with medical caravans for sick children in Mauritania—but it’s not expensive).
Here’s the link: https://pnba.mr/nous-visiter/
For sleeping in Nouamghar’s camp: +222 46 40 78 99
If you have any issues, contact NAMI SALIHY, my friend and the PNBA director: +222 36 30 26 77. Mention my name, and with luck, you might even spend the night in the bird observation hut—but it’s very basic, so bring a sleeping bag and cooking gear (stove, etc.).
The road to Atar should be fine for you, unless there’s a flooded ford—but in NOVEMBER, no worries. Rain is rare at that time (unless it’s an exception).
You could do the loop Atar–Tidjikja–Rosso, with a stop at Tidjikja’s *Auberge Caravane du Désert* at Cheikh’s place.
Here’s the link: https://www.espacevoyages-mr.com/auberge
I’ve never stayed there myself since I usually stay with friends in the area.
Another detail: You can now reach Atar via a new paved road that branches off the national highway a few kilometers before or after the PNBA buildings, avoiding Nouakchott entirely. The road leads to AKJOUJT.
They’ve started resurfacing a section between Akjoujt and Atar—maybe you’ll get lucky if the pavement holds for a year!
If you love the desert, consider pushing on to Zouerate—it’s interesting, especially since the road has been paved for a few years. You’ll get a closer look at the iron mine dust, but it’s a round trip since after Zouerate, you can only go to Bir Moghreim and Algeria.
From Nouadhibou, don’t hesitate to take a detour to Cansado (the village for SNIM iron ore workers) and Cap Blanc. For Cap Blanc, you’ll need to deflate your tires—there are sandy patches, and the track isn’t well-marked.
Also worth seeing in Nouadhibou: *Baie de l’Étoile* and *Baie du Lévrier*, though everything’s now concreted over—the wild, natural side has disappeared. You can stay at the fishing camp (rooms and a restaurant) for a true Mauritanian welcome. I won’t plug the neighboring place run by a European.
Good luck with your preparations! If you need backup, I’d happily hitch a ride in the van.
You won’t feel too out of place—there are plenty of Moroccan grocery stores and restaurants in Nouadhibou and Nouakchott.
hi again,
I forgot to mention,
the Tarfaya–Laayoune section isn’t very interesting in terms of landscapes.
The coastal road is really beautiful, though, between the ocean and small sea of dunes..
Don’t forget to stop by the Naïla lagoon.. (max 25 km from Akhfenir)
The Laayoune–Boujdour section is one long straight line..
There must be a maximum of three turns.. it’s a gravel desert.
For "eating sand" and camping around LAAYOUNE, check out:
Safari Camping on the Foum El Oued road
or elsewhere:
Hello,
It seems that crossing the Senegal border is very complicated with a VEHICLE due to the mass of official documents required.
What’s the exact situation?
Good evening,
I’ve never crossed the Mauritania-Senegal border myself, but so many friends have done it that I’ve heard plenty of feedback.
Back in 2012, I tried to cross at Rosso. I got "cornered" by some guys and a huge crowd of onlookers, so I turned back.
It’s better to cross with a Mauritanian or Senegalese "friend."
From what all my friends say, Diama is easier to cross—unless there’s mud (which happened last year; an English guy I met in Nouakchott left his vehicle stuck in the mud, and months later, it was still there).
If you arrive too late, you’ll have to spend the night near the border post.
I’m planning a motorcycle trip to Nepal (renting a Royal-Enfield in Kathmandu) next April for 4 to 6 weeks. I’m in my sixties, used to self-organized trips, well-prepared with some knowledge of the terrain. Usually, I do this with my buddy Marco, but this year he’s aiming for Réunion while I’m heading to Nepal.
I’ve got a bit of experience (always with a partner), having ridden in Nepal twice before (but this time it’s the West I’m targeting). Once in the Tibetan Autonomous Region (China, so), the Thar Desert in India, and twice in Ladakh—from Pakistan to China via Khardung-La, the world’s highest road (5,600m), with snow-covered passes in August—and last year, Sikkim. That’s my track record—no bragging, just to reassure my future travel partner.
I’m looking for someone because this kind of trip isn’t done solo.
I’m sociable, very curious about others, and I travel for the encounters, the immersion in cultures I don’t know, and that feeling of freedom when riding through stunning landscapes, feeling tiny against the vastness around you. I’d like someone who’s traveled before, knows motorcycles, is resilient, curious about others, and respectful of differences. I don’t want to be the guide of this adventure (which I know will be exceptional).
If this person lives in the Paris area, that’ll make planning easier. We’ll need to meet at least a few times. I can also show photos from previous trips.
Total budget: max 4,000 €
(Flights, bike, hotels, food, and living expenses!).
Bike choice: 500 Bullet or 500 Classic—I’m not a fan of the 450 Himalayan. The first two are tanks with much better ground clearance.
Timing: April, with a possible 15-day extension to Bangladesh, which I might do solo or with a partner.
PS. This is really a trip for two, and two bikes. With three or four, it’s a different setup. Alone or as a pair, you can be invited by families or sleep in monasteries and discreetly attend morning prayers—not so much with four.
It’s a physically demanding trip, but it’s the journey of a lifetime.
Is it possible to rent a motorcycle in Dakar for a medium-term period (5 weeks) to travel to Labé and back? Several guides told me the trip is worth it (max 200 km per day) since the roads in Senegal are paved. If you have experience with this, I’d appreciate any tips!
Hi everyone.
I’m looking to rent a 125cc motorcycle for about ten days in Dakar. This topic was covered a year ago, and the responses weren’t exactly great. Maybe there’s something new since then...?
Thanks in advance for any tips on this rental!
Skyfred
PS (Vulvio, if you see this discussion, just know your clip in Sierra Leone with Psquare’s "Danger" as the background music is still a little masterpiece I rewatch on loop almost every day!!!)
hi there! I’m heading to Vietnam with a biker friend for 3 months, starting from Hanoi... the plan is to do the northern loop, return to Hanoi, then head down to Ho Chi Minh City... and probably ride back up through the mountains. We’re leaving in February. Just a little detail—we’re two retirees, both 63, used to riding motorbikes, and we have French and international licenses... we’re looking for good tips and advice since we’re planning to buy 125cc Chinese bikes locally. Thanks to everyone, and happy trails—life is beautiful!
Hey everyone!
New to the forum, but not so new to Asia 😄
I’m Nico, from Switzerland, currently based in Bangkok. I love taking my motorcycle out to get lost in the mountains and small villages of Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and more. I’ve been roaming around this area for a good fifteen years now, racking up quite a few kilometers—especially in northern Vietnam.
This time, I finally decided to tackle the Mae Hong Son Loop, clockwise. I’d been to Pai several times before, but oddly enough, I’d never done the full loop.
So, I’ll try to give you a little recap here, day by day, with the roads, stops, places worth checking out… and those that didn’t quite blow my mind 😅
I also filmed the trip, so I’ll post the corresponding video at the end of each day if that’s okay. If it’s not allowed here, just let me know, and I’ll remove them without any issue.
DAY 1 — Chiang Mai → Doi Inthanon → Mae Chaem → Khun Yuam
I left Chiang Mai after renting a Honda ADV 160 from Pop Motorbike. Not exactly an Africa Twin, but for what I had planned, it was more than enough.
Quick hotel note: I stayed at the Lanna Thaphae Hotel before leaving. Around 30 € per night, super well-located, and probably one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. A crucial detail for any motorcycle road trip, obviously.
The plan for the day was pretty straightforward:
Head toward Doi Inthanon… and see what happens.
Flawless Swiss organization.
First stop along the way at Wachirathan Waterfall. A really nice waterfall, very easy to access, but don’t expect to channel your inner Indiana Jones—it’s crowded, touristy, and swimming isn’t allowed. Still, it’s a pretty stop along the way.
Next, up to Doi Inthanon.
The road climbs steeply, and my little 160cc started to realize that carrying my 80 kg to Thailand’s highest point probably wasn’t part of its youthful dreams. I was maxing out at 34 km/h in some spots.
But it made it. Good little bike.
The summit is nice—the forest is beautiful, and it’s cool—but I have to admit, it didn’t completely wow me. Glad I went, but not necessarily the highlight of the day for me.
Because then comes Route 1192.
And that’s *much* more my thing: small mountain roads, beautiful scenery, hardly any traffic… the kind of road where I usually start taking way too many unnecessary detours just because a little side road “looks fun.”
Stopped in Mae Chaem for a bite to eat, then headed to Khun Yuam to finish the day.
A little over 200 km in total.
Khun Yuam is… quiet.
*Very* quiet. 😅
A cute little market, a couple of cafés/restaurants, and zero chance of ending up in a club until 4 AM. But after a day on the bike, it was perfect.
Stayed at the Mit Khun Yuam Hotel, around 20 € for a small but very decent room.
All in all, a solid first day and a pretty relaxed start to the loop. Part of this leg is mostly about getting out of Chiang Mai and really diving into the mountains, in my opinion.
Because for me, the really interesting stuff starts over the next two days…
And a few slightly questionable route decisions will also make an appearance 😅
If anyone’s planning the Mae Hong Son Loop, feel free to ask your questions—I’d be happy to answer!
I also filmed this first day, so for those who’d rather see the roads and landscapes than read my rambling, here’s Day 1 😊
DAY 1 VIDEO
I’ll post the next part in the coming days with Day 2: Khun Yuam → Mae Surin → Mae Hong Son.
And that’s where it starts getting *really* fun. 😉
That’s all for now! Looking forward to contributing as much as I can to the forum!
I’d like to ride from Mahajanga to Morondava, sticking as close to the coast as possible—using roads and tracks—in September 2026. If you’ve got any suggestions, let me know! 😉
hi
I’m planning a 10-month trip to South America, and I’m looking into options for shipping a motorcycle to Buenos Aires by air or sea. If anyone has any info, thanks in advance!

Hello everyone.
I'm looking for campsites around BOLZANO (South Tyrol) for early September.
I'll be on my motorcycle with a small tent.
I've noticed that some campsites have exorbitant prices.
If you've traveled through the Dolomites by motorcycle or otherwise and camped there, I'd love any tips on places and prices where I can stay for one night or several.
Thanks to all of you, and happy travels.
I’m starting to think about a trip that’s really close to my heart: Algeria by motorcycle, specifically the southern part of the country. It’d be for January 2025, and I’ve got two main questions:
Is it possible for an individual on a motorcycle to travel freely, outside of any organized tour, or does the regulation require some kind of supervision in the Algerian Sahara region?
Is the Hoggar massif accessible by road or by (rideable) tracks?
Beyond the official recommendations, I’m really looking for your firsthand experiences.
Thanks so much for your answers, and sorry if my questions are a bit newbie!
I just realized I’ve been registered on VoyageForum since... March 28, 2012 😊. Yet, I’ve barely participated until now.
August 1, 2026, will mark a somewhat special milestone: 5 years on the road.
We left Switzerland on August 1, 2021 with a simple idea: let chance decide our direction. We placed a bottle of wine on a world map, spun it... and it chose our first destination.
A year later, when we arrived in Morocco, we faced a new choice: continue toward Africa or head to Asia. This time, a tarot card game made the decision. Since then, we’ve tried to keep this journey as open to the unexpected as possible.
Today, that adds up to about 120,000 km, 46 countries, and over 1,800 days on the road—mostly by motorcycle, but also by sailboat, train, bus, hitchhiking, or on foot when adventure calls.
Our guiding thread isn’t just the motorcycle, but service exchanges. Instead of simply passing through countries, we try to stop regularly to lend a hand to the people we meet. So far, that’s about 600 days of volunteering.
Over the years, we’ve:
renovated a house in Croatia
made earth bricks in the Moroccan desert
helped sail a boat through the Greek islands
looked after houses, dogs, horses, a camel... and lots of other animals
worked at a street art festival in Morocco
created videos for local associations and projects
worked the grape harvest on the Tibetan plateau
been accredited as "media" for the World Nomad Games in Central Asia
Some of the moments that have stuck with us the most include six months in China, a night spent on the Great Wall, the Pamir Highway, the Silk Road, three months in Taiwan, and the incredible encounters in the mountains of Central Asia.
We travel on Falkor, our lucky dragon—a 2014 BMW F800GS that’s been with us since the start and is starting to have some great stories of its own.
While we share our adventure on Instagram, Polarsteps, and YouTube, that’s not why we’re here. The forum’s rules about promotion are clear, and I totally get them. If I’m finally taking the time to write, it’s mostly because after five years on the road, I thought our experience might be useful to other travelers.
Happy to chat about:
preparing for a long motorcycle trip
visas and borders
the Silk Road and Central Asia
riding in China (with or without a motorcycle)
volunteering and service exchanges while traveling
gear, daily life on the road... or just the unexpected moments that make long-term travel so special
Looking forward to swapping stories and hearing about your adventures too! 😊 Greetings from Thailand, and happy to chat! ✌️
Hello, I’m retired and planning a roughly 3-week motorcycle trip (1200gs). The dates aren’t set in stone yet, and everything’s open to discussion—I’m pretty flexible with the planning.
hi
planning to ride through Rajasthan on a motorcycle in January 2027 and I’d love to hear about the road conditions.
I’ll be riding with a buddy on a Royal Enfield that I’ll rent in Delhi.
Thanks for your tips!
hi there
I’d like to ride the RN 12 by motorcycle in September.
I’d love to know the main challenges—I ride a 300cc and do enduro in France.
Thanks for your tips!
I’m planning a motorcycle road trip to Armenia and Georgia in September 2026 or May 2027. I’m looking for one or more riders (male or female) who’d like to explore these countries with me.
Along the way, we’ll visit Cappadocia, the capitals Yerevan, Tbilisi, Sofia, Skopje, and other cities—we can finalize the route and roadbook later.
This trip requires experience with long motorcycle journeys, as we’ll cover around 7,000 km over 5 or 6 weeks (or more, depending on sightseeing and time spent).
I don’t expect dozens of applicants, since motorcycle riders are few and far between on this forum, but I’m putting this out there anyway.
Hi, I’d like to take a 15-day "break" to get away from the surrounding hustle and bustle.
Why not explore the Peloponnese!
I’m not particularly drawn to museums, ruins, or monuments.
I want to experience local life—small villages, seaside spots, beaches, and the interior if the landscapes are extraordinary.
Ideally, coming from Athens, I’d take a bus or train to get as close as possible to a starting point, then rent a scooter (125cc) to explore by taking secondary roads or even coastal paths. I’d stay in 2-3 places for a few days each to discover their surroundings.
Do a loop.
What do you think would be the ideal itinerary?
From Athens, the best option would be to take either a flight or a bus to Kalamata. Rent a scooter and head either west or east. Is there a tertiary road (very lightly trafficked) or a path where I can ride slowly, take it easy, and enjoy the scenery without being bothered by traffic? I’d like to go all the way to Monemvasia, still hugging the coast. I need to find a way to avoid returning to Kalamata to drop off the scooter and catch a flight—maybe a small town where the train stops so I can head back to Athens.
Thanks in advance for your tips.
I want to rent an off-road style motorcycle to get around the coast during my trip to Ecuador. I’m only finding options in Quito. Do you have any suggestions for me?
Hi there,
I’m planning a sidecar trip to South America for 4 or 5 months at the end of this year.
I’m looking for info on shipping my vehicle by sea—possibly to Uruguay or another destination, as I haven’t finalized anything yet.
How do you get visas for the countries I’ll be crossing: Uruguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, and Chile? Are they e-Visas, obtained at the border, or through embassies?
Where can I get vehicle insurance?
Lastly, if any bikers want to join us (my partner and me), we’re open to that possibility too.

I’ve got 15 days off in June and I’m pretty undecided about where to go for a motorcycle road trip. Two strong desires are pulling me in different directions: Corsica or Norway.
Corsica has been a dream of mine for a long time: legendary roads, stunning landscapes, a unique vibe, and the perfect mix of sea and mountains. At the same time, I’m wondering if 2 weeks might be *too much* for Corsica—risking feeling like I’ve seen it all too quickly, especially on a bike.
Since I also have an extra week free in May, I could use that specifically for Corsica. Maybe splitting it into two trips would make more sense? If so, which routes or regions would be the most interesting to plan for a 7-day trip?
On the other hand, Norway is *super* appealing. The landscapes look incredible, totally different from anything I’ve experienced, and it’d be a real “wow” trip. I know 15 days is still short for such a vast country. Getting all the way to the North Cape seems pretty much impossible in that time, but I’m curious about what realistic routes could be planned.
So I’m wondering:
Is it better to save Norway for next year, take 3 weeks off, and do it *properly*?
Or are 15 days enough for a first amazing taste of the country?
I’d love to hear about your experiences—whether it’s Corsica (ideal duration, routes) or Norway (what’s realistic in 2 weeks on a bike).
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Hello,
I'm thinking of buying a used small motorcycle to travel around the country for a month and a half.
I've done this in other countries without putting the registration in my name—is that possible in Guinea given the apparently frequent checks, or do I have to go through the paperwork?
Thanks.
Hello,
My dream is to ride Route 66 by motorcycle. I have a disability—while I’m not in a wheelchair, my walking mobility is reduced.
The ideal scenario would be to have a motorcycle driver and ride as their passenger on an organized trip.
Are there any guides or services like this offered by travel agencies?
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Hello,
I’ve got a plan with a friend to go on a motorcycle road trip in 2028 or 2029, starting in Santiago de Chile and ending in Ushuaia, for about a month.
Has anyone done a trip like this before, and what’s the best time of year?
I’ve heard there can be quite a bit of wind depending on the season.
Thanks for any tips!
Cheers,
PA
I'm seriously considering heading to Nepal to do some nice motorcycle loops... my goal is also to do the Kailash Yatra round trip from Kathmandu, in a small group with a guide, in May '26... but here's the thing—I'm solo! So if you're up for sharing a similar adventure, hit me up... Cheers, Frankoys
It's all in the title: I'm heading to Krabi soon and want to rent a scooter for a few weeks, but after reading comments about all kinds of scams, I'm reaching out to ask where and how (read: *the right way*) to rent one.
Thanks for your tips and advice.
Hello everyone! Like every year, a winter migration is on the horizon (revised plan): this time, it’ll be Dakar, or even Abidjan, via Morocco, Mauritania, and Senegal.
Looking for an experienced motorcyclist or pillion rider—small build preferred—on a GSA 1250 with a comfy seat and luggage setup, available from early November to late December 2025. I’d like to plan the trip together (important to me) to make sure we’re on the same wavelength.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch!

Looking for travel companions to ride from France to Senegal by motorcycle.
I’m Paul, 37, and I’ve already done a bit of riding in Morocco.
For now, I’m solo, riding a 1998 SUZUKI DR 650 with some basic gear to keep things smooth. I’ll have a tent so we can do a few nights under the stars.
We’ll need to coordinate departure dates—"ideally in November."
I’m currently checking out routes to take. Any tips would be welcome! :)
I’m heading to Vietnam and Laos with a buddy next week for a month.
We’re thinking of renting motorbikes, especially to do the Ha Giang Loop. We don’t have an international license, just our Belgian one. Is that enough? If not, is it risky?
