Best time to ride up North

Dirtbike Travel is specialized in organizing custom Vietnam motorcycle tours covering every destination in Vietnam. All of our trips are designed to suit every rider with different preferences such as laidback sightseeing tours, intensive enduro tours and everything in between.

Many riders who want to join our Vietnam motorbike rides always ask us about the weather especially in the north of Vietnam for the weather here is the most unpredictable weather in Vietnam.

Here is some information about the weather of outstanding places in our Vietnam motorbike tours for your reference:

The climate in Sapa and Vietnam’s far north-west is divided into two seasons:  the dry season runs from October to late March with  the wet season lasting  from April to September. It can get very cold in December and January, especially at night. In winter, sometimes, you will see snow and ice in Sapa and some places around.

The best months for motorcycle tour Vietnam in the north-east (Ha Giang) is during the dry season, from October to April, although December and January can get very cold. We recommend avoiding Vietnam dirt bike tours  in Ha Giang during the rainy season (May to September).

Daytime temperatures range from 15-28°C, and night-time temperatures from 10-18°C. Trekking and motorcycling are possible year round, however the wintertime can be rather chilly, and the summer rather wet.
