My real adventure started on my birthday on 17 Mar which I actually made this trip to be my birthday gift on this year!
The trip was much more amazing than what I expected to explore Ha Giang, Vietnam's northernmost province. through Ha Giang loop.
Ha Giang Loop is a motorbike loop around Ha Giang, a place where the road winds through jaw-dropping canyons and breathtaking mountain.
Difficult to say where is the most highlights on Ha Giang loop, every path and every views along the path are stunning!
I did 4 days 3 night on this Ha Giang loop and use a service of “QT Motorbikes and Tours” for motorbike rental and a local guide service. They are a professional company who can organize the best trip for you.
You can actually do this alone by only rent a motorbike from them and they will give you a map and all information you need to know, you only use GPS and follow the map - I actually planned to do this alone with no guide but because of the situation of Covid-19 pandemic, many restaurants and hotels were closed. So, better to have a local guide who can speak Vietnamese as locals don’t speak much English.
The first day on 17 Mar, we started from “Ha Giang city” to “Quanba” where there is a beautiful view point. Stop for lunch and coffee at “Yen Minh” and ended at “Dong Van” where we stayed there the first night. We did 170 km in total on the first day.
Warning: The weather is cold uphill and rain sometimes, make sure you have warm jackets with you. I actually wore 4 layers while riding a motorbike because of the cold wind and cold weather uphills!
