Ha Giang tour overview

Why this trip

  • The four day loop with Lung Cu, plus the sleeper bus from Hanoi and back.
  • Nothing to organise between Hanoi and the end of the loop.
  • Du Gia, the Nho Que canyon, Ma Pi Leng, Lung Cu and Lung Cam.
  • Local driver on every bike, one passenger each.

An honest note: You spend one night on the bus before you start. Arriving a day early in Ha Giang is more comfortable if your schedule allows.

Children. We do not put children under 12 on the back of a motorbike on these roads. For families, the same routes run by private car.

How it works

  1. Book and confirm. Pay at checkout or message us on WhatsApp first. We confirm your date, the meeting point and your guide within one hour, and tell you what to bring.
  2. On the bike. Your driver handles the road. You wear a helmet, keep your bag small and hold on. If you want to stop for a photo, tap your driver on the shoulder.
  3. The nights. Homestays are simple: mattress, blankets, a shared bathroom with hot water, and dinner with the family. Small hotels in the towns have private bathrooms.
  4. The permit. Since June 2026 foreign visitors need a border area permit for Quan Ba, Yen Minh, Dong Van and Meo Vac. Bring your passport. Your guide arranges the permit against it.

What to bring

Pack small. Leave large luggage in Hanoi or at your hotel in Ha Giang city.

  • Your passport, for the border area permit
  • A warm layer. The passes are cold from October to March
  • A windproof layer and gloves. It is cold on the passes in an open vehicle, even in summer
  • Rain jacket or poncho, whatever the forecast says
  • Sunscreen and sunglasses
  • Cash in Vietnamese dong for drinks and small purchases
  • One change of clothes per night and a small towel
  • A headlamp or charged phone. Villages are dark at night

Getting there

The sleeper bus between Hanoi and Ha Giang, both ways, is included. We send you the pickup point with your confirmation.
