Motorbikes
For the adventurous souls keen on exploration, motorbikes are the preferred mode of transport to conquer the routes. In Hanoi, there are numerous affordable motorbike rental services, starting from just 100,000 VND per day. The options range from manual to automatic bikes, with manual ones being slightly cheaper.
Traveling from Hanoi to Moc Chau spans approximately 200km, taking around 5 - 6 hours of continuous driving. Alternatively, if you allocate 7 - 8 hours for a leisurely journey, you can simultaneously admire the scenery: on one side are rocky mountains and on the other are cliffs, with clouds veiling the mountain peaks, deep valleys below, and bustling markets selling orchids, corn, forest products along the mountain slopes, and many other characteristic landscapes of the Northwest.
At the end of the mountain pass, you'll reach the 'flagpole' section, the center of Mai Chau district. Standing atop this flagpole area offers a panoramic view of the district below and the white hills adorned with blooming ban flowers.
Although the route to Moc Chau is not overly challenging with its passes or legendary slopes, it's enough to captivate the hearts of adventurous travelers.

Taxi
Taxis are the primary mode of transportation in Moc Chau, mainly for large groups or families with young children traveling to Moc Chau. Mytour doesn't recommend taking a taxi from Hanoi to Moc Chau because for the 200km distance, you'll end up paying a considerable amount, even up to millions of dong, which is too expensive for a trip near Hanoi.
A suggestion for groups or family trips is to consider renting a private car, which will be more cost-effective.
