The Muong Long Loop | Nghe An Motorbike Guide

Updated: 28/1/2024 | 7:44:22 PM

Nghệ An is the biggest province in Vietnam, yet it’s one of the least explored by travellers. Riders usually skip this region, treating it as a sort of ‘flyover’ province between central and northern Vietnam. In reality, however, Nghệ An is one of the best riding regions in the nation and should be considered a major destination for road-trippers. The Mường Lống Loop is a motorbike route to rival any other in Vietnam for scenery and adventure. This route stretches from the coast in the east to the mountainous border with Laos in the west, culminating in a mini-loop near Mường Lống, a remote village in the far northwest of the province, which is, without a doubt, one of the best stretches of road and scenery anywhere in Vietnam. The Mường Lống Loop is a real adventure, the likes of which are slowly disappearing in other provinces, as they become popular tourist destinations.

A Spectacular Circuit of the Nation’s Biggest Province

This guide includes a detailed route map, an overview of helpful information, and a description of each section of the loop. I’ve broken the route into 4 sections, each of which could correspond to one day on the road, but it depends entirely on how you like to ride and how much you want to stop and sightsee along the way. The ideal length of time for the Mường Lống Loop is 4-7 days. Road conditions are generally good and gas stations are at regularly intervals throughout the loop. I’ve written this guide going clockwise on the loop, starting in Vinh, but you can ride it in either direction. There are lots of opportunities for detours, but be careful of the tempting roads along the Lao border: as a foreign rider, you don’t have a right to be there and will likely be stopped and turned back.
