If you choose to travel with us by van from Hanoi, we will arrange for our van to pick you up between 6.15-6.45 am. You will then be transported to Ha Giang where you’ll meet the rest of the team and enjoy lunch before embarking on the motorbike adventure.

However, if you plan to ride a motorbike, our guide will meet you at your hotel in Ha Giang around 9.00 am. From there, we’ll take you to our office where we’ll begin the essential safety procedures. After gearing up, we’ll provide a comprehensive briefing about Vietnam traffic and practice some fundamental bike skills on roads around Ha Giang. This practice session is designed to prepare you for your upcoming trip. Our guide will assess your ability at the end of the session and recommend whether you should use an automatic, semi-automatic, or avoid riding altogether for your safety.

After the session, we’ll serve lunch around 12.30 pm, followed by a trip briefing conducted by our guide. You’ll depart for our Dao homestay in Nam Dam, Quang Ba District, passing through stunning valleys and villages along the way. We’ll make several stops throughout the journey for photos and rest, including a beautiful sunset view from the top of Lung Khuy Cave. Finally, you’ll check into the homestay and enjoy dinner before spending a peaceful night nestled in the mountainous heart of Nam Dam Village.

Once we’ve had breakfast at our homestay, we’ll prepare the bikes and embark on the next part of our adventure. During today’s journey, we will visit a charming village called Lung Tam which is known for producing high-quality hemp linen. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to watch the entire linen-making process, from start to finish, and even try your hand at rolling out the cloth. You’ll be surprised by how much balance and strength it requires!

After crossing a mountain via a shortcut, we’ll arrive in Yen Minh for lunch. Following that, we’ll head towards the border between Vietnam and China, covering a guest favorite 50km stretch along the way. While en route, we’ll make a stop at the house of the Hmong Opium King, where you’ll get an insight into the life of the wealthiest man in the region. We will also visit the Extreme North Point, where, on a clear day, you might glimpse some of the Chinese towns on the other side.

Upon reaching Dong Van, we’ll check into our hotel. Dinner will once again include plenty of happy water for those of drinking age who wish to partake. We strongly recommend scheduling your trip to pass through Dong Van on Sunday, as this is when the villagers host their weekly highland market. This market is not only a chance for locals to trade goods and livestock, but it’s also eagerly anticipated as a weekly social gathering.

We will depart after breakfast and venture into the most tranquil areas of the region. Our destination today is towards Ma Pi Leng, deemed as the most beautiful pass in Vietnam. During our 7km hike here, you’ll have the opportunity to capture breathtaking photos. Later, we’ll be cruising via Tu San Abyss Alley before breaking for lunch at Meo Vac.

Our journey continues to Du Gia where we will spend the night. Along the way, we’ll stop for a coffee in Mau Due, marked as the beginning of “the road of children.” You’ll see many minority children playing by the roadside while their parents work alongside rocks.

In Du Gia, weather permitting, you can enjoy a refreshing swim in a secret waterfall before settling down for the evening in this cozy little village.

You can take your time in the morning, enjoying the beautiful mountainside scenery, taking a dip in the nearby waterfall or snapping some photographs of the villagers. Following our farewell lunch, we will return to Ha Giang and reach the city by 4 pm, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel.

For those who plan to catch our transfer back to Hanoi, our van will drop you off in the heart of Hanoi around 10.30 pm (Airport drop-off is around 10pm). During the ride, we will make a dinner stop around 7 pm.
