Ha Giang tour overview

Why this trip

  • Four hours in the valleys just outside Ha Giang city, in a private open-top jeep.
  • Rice terraces, Tay stilt house villages and a swim if the water is warm.
  • A good use of a spare afternoon before or after the loop.
  • Private jeep for up to four people.

An honest note: This stays close to the city. It is countryside, not the karst scenery of the northern loop.

Getting to Ha Giang from Hanoi

Ha Giang city is six to seven hours from Hanoi. Most people take the overnight sleeper bus and arrive early in the morning. This tour starts in Ha Giang city, so the bus is not included in the price above. We book it for you if you want it and show you the fare before you pay.
