Highlights
Ha Giang Loop: Check out the incredible views from Heaven Gate - a popular stop off on the Ha Giang loop.
Ha Giang Loop: Stop by to get a view of the winding roads that resemble a massive snake making its way down the slope!
Ha Giang Loop: Walk like a royal around this ancient palace that's made with green pebbles, pine woods, terra-cotta tiles and even sugarcane! (Seriously.)
Dong Van: Meet the incredible women at the Lung Tam Linen Cooperative who are working to preserve the craft of H'mong linen weaving. You'll see all the complicated stages of weaving, learn how they make high-quality fabric here and support local communities too.
Ma Pi Leng Peak: Lace up your boots! You'll take a challenging but short trek towards the Ma Pi Leng peak, passing by H'mong villages on the way.
Nho Que: Feast on a delicious lunch with incredible views of the Nho Que river. It's a photo ops hotspot!
Nho Que: Go with the flow on a local boat cruise as you check out one of South Asia's largest canyons.
Nho Que: Paddle through the turquoise waters of this beautiful river with views of scenic rice fields and mountains along the way.
Dong Van: Ever heard of a Qeej? It's a sacred instrument that was used to call the spirits (or at least that's what the legends say!). Today's your chance to witness a local man playing it.
Dong Van: Ready? We'll trek all the way up to ruins of the Lung Ho French Fort - a beautiful stone structure built during the French colonisation.
Du Già: Cool off with a dip in crystal-clear waters surrounded by jungle greenery, with nothing but the sound of rushing falls and birdsong echoing through the valley. Stunning.

Worked well having a local guide, however I wish there were a few more cultural activities like seeing the hemp weaving as I was interested in that.

I recently completed a 5-day Ha Giang Loop tour, and it was hands down one of the most unforgettable experiences of my travels in Vietnam.
The trip was extremely well-organized from start to finish, with every detail taken care of from transport to meals and accommodation.
A special shout-out to our guide, Eagle, who truly made the trip exceptional. He was not only enthusiastic and full of energy every day, but also incredibly accommodating and approachable. Whether it was helping with small requests, sharing local insights, or making sure everyone felt included, Eagle went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable for everyone.
The food throughout the tour was consistently excellent fresh, flavorful, and a great mix of local Vietnamese dishes.
Accommodation was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained.
Overall, I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore the stunning landscapes of Ha Giang with a team that knows how to deliver a truly memorable and hassle-free experience.
