Your journey begins the night before departure with a free hostel stay at Ha Giang Go, giving you time to rest, meet fellow travellers, and prepare for the adventure ahead. Wake up refreshed and ready to explore one of Southeast Asia’s most spectacular routes.
Day 1 — Ha Giang City to Dong Van (Approx. 135 km)
After breakfast, set off from Ha Giang and begin the loop in reverse, taking the road less travelled. Start at KM0 and ride through the winding Bac Sum Pass towards Quan Ba Heaven Gate, where panoramic views open up over the famous Twin Mountains and Tam Son town. Continue along the scenic Can Ty Pass, stopping at stunning viewpoints like the “lonely tree” and Van Chai cliff.
After lunch in Yen Minh, the journey continues through Tham Ma Pass, Pho Cao village, and the picturesque Sung La Valley. Visit Lung Cam cultural village and the iconic “Pao’s House,” then explore the unique landscapes of Sa Phin, known for its moon rock formations and seasonal Tam Giac Mach flowers. In the afternoon, discover the historic Vuong Family Mansion, an architectural blend of H’Mong, French, and Chinese influences.
Arrive in Dong Van, check into your hotel or homestay, enjoy dinner, and take a stroll through the charming Old Town and its lively night market.
Day 2 — Dong Van to Du Gia via Ma Pi Leng Pass & Nho Que River
After breakfast, ride along the legendary Happiness Road to the awe-inspiring Ma Pi Leng Pass—one of Vietnam’s most iconic mountain roads. Take in breathtaking panoramic views of jagged limestone peaks and deep valleys, including the famous “Death’s Snout” viewpoint.
Next, descend to the emerald waters of the Nho Que River and board a boat to cruise through Tu San Canyon, the tallest canyon in Southeast Asia. Surrounded by towering cliffs, this is one of the most unforgettable moments of the trip.
Continue to Meo Vac for lunch before riding through winding mountain roads, passing scenic viewpoints like the M-pass, and travelling through Mau Due and Lung Ho. By late afternoon, arrive in the peaceful village of Du Gia. Check into a traditional Tay homestay, enjoy a home-cooked dinner, and experience local hospitality—complete with optional corn wine tasting.
Day 3 — Du Gia to Ha Giang via Traditional Villages
Start your day with a relaxed morning in Du Gia village and, if you wish, take a refreshing dip at the nearby waterfall. Then begin the return journey to Ha Giang, stopping at Duong Thuong Valley and Lung Tam weaving village, where you’ll learn about traditional textile-making techniques.
Enjoy lunch in Tam Son (Quan Ba) before arriving back in Ha Giang city in the late afternoon, with time to rest before continuing your onward journey.
