The minimum time to give the Northern Ha Giang Loop any justness is three days. We call it jokingly ‘hurry, hurry’ to try to indicate that it would be three quite long days of motorcycling. It would be no possibilities for add-on activities like trekking and limits to time visiting the many attractions that the loop has to offer.
The tour would still ensure the completion of the full loop with inclusion of Heaven’s Gate, the Highland of Stone, Dong Van, the Ma Pi Leng mountain pass and the backroads of the spectacular inner Ha Giang mountains.
There will be no time for lazy sleep-in mornings, and we will be out on the road at 8 am each of the days.
Possibility to self-drive or to ride pillion (behind guide/driver). If self-driving, we recommend sound prior motorcycling experience
Accommodation will be one night in ethnic minority homestay and one night in hotel (choice of doing both nights in homestay)
Pickup included
For those arriving on a night bus, we offer free dorm beds at our QT Guest House to ensure you can rest comfortably before starting your journey.
If you’d like us to assist with arranging a bus from Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Cat Ba, or Sapa to Ha Giang, please let us know in the 'Note' section when booking
