Winding mountain road through the Ha Giang Loop in northern Vietnam

Tour Overview

A thrilling expedition into the dramatic landscapes of Northern Vietnam, designed for adventurers and photographers seeking stunning rice terraces, authentic cultural encounters, and the legendary scenery of Ha Giang and Sapa. After arriving in Hanoi you'll transfer to Sapa for light and full-day treks through the Muong Hoa Valley, visiting the Lao Chai and Ta Van ethnic minority villages. The adventure continues on the famous Ha Giang Loop, covering Quan Ba Heaven's Gate, the Dong Van Karst Plateau and the breathtaking Ma Pi Leng Pass, either by private car or motorbike with a driver.
