Ha Giang Safari Hostel
Your Ha Giang Loop adventure begins the evening before your tour with a complimentary night's stay at Ha Giang Safari Hostel. Wake up refreshed with a free breakfast before hitting the road. You will get assigned an Easy Rider for the tour. Try on helmets and find your perfect fit before departure. Free safety gear is also available, including elbow pads, knee pads, and a helmet. You will securely store your large bag in a locked storage room so you can pack light — just bring a small bag for the journey ahead. Before setting off, your tour guide will walk the group through a full route debrief, covering highlights, safety tips, and everything you need to know — with time to answer all your questions.Tip: Pack only what you need for 3 days in a small bag. Leave the rest locked safely at the hostel — it'll be waiting for you when you return!
Heaven Gate (Quan Ba)
The first day brings a dramatic shift in scenery as you leave Ha Giang city behind and wind your way through mountain roads and sweeping hairpin bends — locally known as snake rolls. The ride itself is part of the experience, with every curve revealing a more breathtaking landscape than the last. Your first major stop is the legendary Heaven Gate (Cổng Trời), reached by crossing the Bac Sum Pass. At the summit, you'll be rewarded with a sweeping panoramic view of Tam Son town nestled in the valley below and the iconic Twin Mountains (Núi Đôi) — two perfectly symmetrical hills rising from the valley floor.
Tam Son
Enjoy family-style lunch in the charming town of Tam Son. Shared dishes of local Vietnamese flavors are brought to the table for everyone to enjoy together — a warm, communal way to refuel and soak in the laid-back pace of town life in the highlands. Vegetarian and vegan options are available. Lunch is included in your tour package.
Lung Khuy Cave
Lung Khuy Cave is one of the region's most impressive natural wonders. A brief uphill hike leads you to the cave entrance, where a vast, pristine chamber opens up before you, filled with dramatic formations of stalagmites and stalactites that have been sculpted over thousands of years. The scale and untouched beauty of the cave make it one of the most memorable stops on the entire loop. Entrance is included in your tour package.
Lung Tam Village
Nestled beneath rolling hills, Lung Tam is a small and serene village that feels worlds away from the bustle of everyday life. The landscape alone is worth the visit, but what makes Lung Tam truly special is its community — the H'Mong ethnic minority women here are renowned for their vibrant, intricately patterned traditional attire that brings a burst of color to the lush green surroundings.
Yen Minh Town
The final stretch of Day 1 treats you to more of Ha Giang's jaw-dropping mountain scenery as you wind your way into Yen Minh town for your first night on the loop. Arrive at your homestay and settle in before sitting down to a delicious family-style dinner cooked with warmth and local love. Then the real fun begins. The night comes alive with karaoke, pool, and a taste of Ha Giang's famous happy water — a special corn spirit unique to the region that's best enjoyed in good company. Head up to the rooftop to catch the sunset over the mountains, crack open a cold beer, and get to know your group. Nights at the homestay have a way of becoming the highlight of the whole trip.
Yen Minh
Start with a homemade breakfast prepared by the homestay, served with your choice of coffee or tea. Pack your bag and get ready to head out for another incredible day on the loop!
Tham Ma Pass
One of the most photographed spots on the entire Ha Giang Loop, Tham Ma Pass is a must-stop on Day 2. The iconic S-curve road snaking through the mountains makes for an unforgettable photo. Take a few minutes to grab a coffee from a local stall, breathe in the mountain air, and soak in the sweeping views stretching across the valleys below. H'Mong locals are often found here in their traditional dress, and souvenirs are available.
H’Mong King Palace (Vuong Palace)
Step back in time with a visit to Vuong Palace, the magnificent former residence of H'Mong King Vuong Duc Chinh and his son Vuong Chi Sinh. Built in the early 20th century and blending Vietnamese, Chinese, and H'Mong architectural styles, the palace is a fascinating window into the history and culture of the highland people who once ruled this remote corner of Vietnam. Your Easy Rider guide will introduce the story and the significance of the palace. Entrance is included in your tour package.
Làng Lô Lô Chải Village
Làng Lô Lô Chải is one of the most authentic villages on the entire loop. Home to the Lô Lô ethnic minority community, the village is a peaceful escape with traditional stone houses, terraced fields, and a way of life that has remained largely unchanged for generations. Sit down to a hearty family-style lunch with local flavors before taking some time to wander the village lanes, get a coffee, and soak in the atmosphere. Lunch is included in your tour package.
Lung Cu Flagpoint
One of the most iconic stops on the Ha Giang Loop, Lung Cu Flag Tower sits at the northernmost point of Vietnam, perched high on Dragon Mountain just a stone's throw from the Chinese border. Climbing up the stone steps rewards you with one of the most breathtaking and patriotic views in the entire country — Vietnam's giant national flag flying proudly overhead against a vast panorama of mountains and valleys stretching in every direction. The tower itself is built in the shape of a dragon's head. Entrance is included in your tour package.
Dong Van Town
As the afternoon light fades, your Easy Rider guides you into the charming old town of Dong Van — one of the most atmospheric stops on the entire loop. Dinner is family-style, included in your tour price. In the cooler winter months, warm up with a steaming hotpot shared around the table. If your trip falls on a weekend, Dong Van's famous night market comes alive in the evening, drawing locals and travelers alike for a lively spread of street food, local produce, and highland culture.
Dong Van Town
Start with a homemade breakfast prepared by the homestay, served with your choice of coffee or tea. Pack your bag and get ready to head out for the last day of your tour!
Ma Pi Leng Pass
Ask anyone who has done the Ha Giang Loop what their single most breathtaking moment was, and chances are they'll say Ma Pi Leng. Widely regarded as the most spectacular pass in all of Vietnam, Ma Pi Leng is the crown jewel of the loop — a dramatic stretch of road carved into sheer limestone cliffs that plunges down to the brilliant turquoise waters of the Nho Que River snaking through the canyon far below. Towering karst peaks rise on all sides, and a stop at the main viewpoint gives you a few minutes to take it all in.
Boat Ride on Nho Que River
After taking in the views from above at Ma Pi Leng, descend to the banks of the Nho Que River to experience its famous turquoise waters up close. Board a traditional boat and cruise along the river, surrounded by towering limestone cliffs that rise dramatically on either side — a completely different and equally stunning perspective of the landscape. The boat cruise is included in your tour price.
Meo Vac & Mau Due
The journey continues deeper into some of the most remote and rarely seen corners of Ha Giang Province. Riding through distant villages and rugged terrain, you'll catch an authentic glimpse of everyday life in rural Vietnam — isolated communities, traditional houses, and a pace of life far removed from the modern world. Pass through the bustling market town of Meo Vac before continuing on to the quiet village of Mậu Duệ for lunch (included in your tour) at a local Vietnamese restaurant.
Duong Thuong (Back Route)
Travel through the peaceful valley of Duong Thuong, where winding roads pass traditional villages, terraced rice fields, and stunning mountain scenery. This quieter stretch of the Ha Giang Loop offers a glimpse into everyday local life and is the perfect place to relax and take in the natural beauty of the region.
Ha Giang Safari Hostel
The final stretch of the loop brings one last taste of Ha Giang's magic — a cruising ride back through the winding mountain roads, passing through quiet villages and sweeping landscapes. Arrive back at Ha Giang Safari Hostel around 4:30–5:00pm. Freshen up with a shower, grab a coffee or tea, and help yourself to some snacks while you rest your legs. Play some games, swap stories, and take your time saying goodbye to your Easy Rider guides. When you're ready, the hostel is perfectly placed to get you to your next bus or onward destination.
Note: Routes may be subject to change due to road conditions and weather. Homestay locations may vary depending on availability, but the quality of stay remains high.
