Itinerary

We offer bus options at the following times: 8:00 AM, 12:30 PM, 9:30 PM, and 11:30 PM. Please contact us via WhatsApp if you would like us to arrange your bus ticket.

After around 7 hours of traveling from Hanoi, you will arrive in Ha Giang and slowly get into the rhythm of the Loop journey. Take day 0 to relax, rest, and get to know the people who will be joining you for the next 3 days.

If you arrive in Ha Giang in the morning or afternoon, don’t worry! There are plenty of good local restaurants around the homestay we’ve prepared for you, so you can easily find something nice for dinner (personal expense).

You will have breakfast at our homestay before departure.

First, we’ll go through the itinerary together and explain each stop in detail. If you haven’t completed the remaining payment yet, this will be the time to settle it.

We will also help arrange your return bus after the tour.

After that, you’ll meet your Easy Rider, if you’ve chosen this service, and your journey officially begins!

The first stop is Bac Sum Pass, where you can enjoy a cup of Vietnamese coffee in the early morning. After that, we’ll stop at the Quan Ba Twin Mountains and the “Top of the World” viewpoint. Here, your guide will share the local legend behind this special mountain.

After that, we’ll stop at Lung Tam Linen Weaving Village, where linen products are handmade by the H’Mong people. Here, you can buy local handicrafts such as brocade bracelets, traditional brocade hats, woven fabrics, and more. You will also have the chance to observe and directly experience the traditional handmade process of creating a piece of H’Mong linen fabric.

The next stop is at the top of Can Ty Pass, where we’ll take a short break and enjoy the majestic mountain views of Ha Giang. After that, we’ll continue to Yen Minh Town, stop for lunch, and then carry on with the journey.

Stop for photos at the famous Tham Ma Pass, one of the most popular check-in spots on the Ha Giang Loop. Enjoy the winding mountain pass, meet local children through small experiences like hair braiding and flower accessories, and try some local snacks along the way.

We’ll pass through Chin Khoanh Pass on the way to Lao Xa Ancient Village, an old H’Mong village located near the Chinese border. This stop gives you a closer look into the daily life of the local people. Lao Xa is also famous for its traditional silver engraving, where you can create your own silver piece, engraved with your name or anything you like, as a meaningful souvenir to take home (please note that this personal silver item is at your own expense)

The Moon Rocks viewpoint is another highlight of Day 1, where you can admire Ha Giang’s dramatic karst limestone scenery and impressive black rock formations.

Long scenic roads, cloud-covered mountain peaks, cliffside routes, and the feeling of being completely away from everyday life.

After a day like that, enjoying a few beers while watching the sunset in Dong Van Town feels very different.

On the first night, we’ll stay near the center of Dong Van Old Quarter, giving you free time to explore the town, meet local people, and join in the group dancing — in a place that truly feels special.

You’ll have breakfast at the homestay while enjoying the mountain views.

We’ll start the new day by heading to the Northernmost Point of Vietnam, where you can look across toward the Chinese border and capture impressive photos with the valley and local villages below.

After that, we’ll ride through Ma Pi Leng Pass — one of the most spectacular landscapes in Southeast Asia and a true highlight of the Ha Giang Loop.

We’ll take a boat trip on the Nho Que River & Tu San Canyon to admire its majestic beauty — an experience that surely won’t disappoint. The boat trip will take you to Tu San Canyon, the deepest canyon in Southeast Asia. After that, we’ll continue through Meo Vac, enjoy some of the most beautiful roads in Ha Giang, and arrive at the famous M-shaped Turn. Here, you can take a short break and enjoy a cup of coffee to stay refreshed for the rest of the journey.

In the afternoon, we’ll arrive in Du Gia, check in, and take a short walk to Du Gia Waterfall, one of the most beautiful natural waterfalls in Ha Giang. You can swim in the cool water and enjoy a cold beer by the waterfall. It’s a truly refreshing feeling after a long day on the road.

A perfect moment to fully relax after the journey you’ve been through.

A day filled with slow village moments, breathtaking viewpoints, children waving from the roadside, and fun football games with your Easy Riders, before sharing a memorable farewell dinner together in the evening.

Du GiaTha Village (meet local people)Ha Giang City

Breakfast will be served at the homestay. If you still feel a little sleepy, don’t worry, the new day will begin with a refreshing swim at Du Gia Waterfall.

The final day is still full of beautiful viewpoints, natural landscapes, and unforgettable highland villages. It’s a fairly long ride back to Ha Giang City, but by then, you may find yourself wishing the journey didn’t have to end.

Visit Tha Village, a Tay ethnic cultural village, where you can enjoy meaningful local experiences and get a closer look at the daily life of the people here.

Music plays softly inside your helmet. Your eyes are tired, your camera roll is full of memories. One last toast with the whole group before returning to Ha Giang City and somewhere in your mind, you’re already wondering when you can live it all over again.

After that, you’ll return to where it all began — Ha Giang City — and get on your cabin bus back. It’s time to say a reluctant goodbye to your wonderful tourguide, your Easy Riders, and the new friends who became part of your journey.
