Discover Vietnam on two wheels in a new way! The Namduro App gives you access to routes and locations all over Vietnam and connects you with other riders. The Namduro team has scouted northern Vietnam for years to find the perfect trails, the most beautiful vistas and the cosiest home-stays. Experience riding through tea fields or staying with locals in a remote village. The app allows you to connect with other riders on the trail, you can see their location, comment on their photos and compare how many waypoints you've reached. The App also offers challenges to complete while en route that'll get you out of your comfort zone and help you get involved with the local people. Maybe you'll need to eat some of the cuisine or help a tea farmer. When you reach the locations, complete challenges or find something you just have to take a photo of, these can be shared to other riders on the route.
