Before You Go

First of all, it’s important to pack light since you’ll be traveling by motorbike for a number of days. As such, bringing a smaller backpack or daypack is much more practical than taking all of your luggage. On the Dong Van Tour, you’ll be able to store your luggage and whatever items you don’t need to take with you at our hostel in Ha Giang town. This is where we both begin and complete the loop.

Stunning roads & mountain passes

The Quan Ba heaven gate is the first impressive mountain pass you wil pas starting from Ha Giang. From here you can enjoy stunning views on the Twin Mountains. Next mountain pass in the Tham Ma pass, with the iconic s-shape road. From here you drive through Sung La valley and have the option to either go straight to Dong Van or a detour via Lung Cu with some of the best mountain views you can wish for.

Ha Giang motorbike loop

You will driver over high passes, enjoy landscapes with the most impressive mountains of Southeast Asia and discover the unique cultures of the local minorities. The best way to do the loop is on the back of a motorbike with an experience guide. If you prefer a bit more comfort and protection against the weather, you can also do the Ha Giang loop by car.

Dong Van Karst geopark

The Dong Van UNESCO Global Geopark can be visited easily through its 4 discovery routes. Each route has its own personality and they are all complementary to provide visitors with excellent opportunities to discover the Geopark as well as its partners and local population. Each of these routes can be experienced, with guide, in one or two days.

Yen Minh Pine Forest – A Famous Destination In Ha Giang

Yen Minh pine forest stretches for a few kilometers on low hills. When the car arrives at Na Khe (Na Khê) commune, visitors can come to the land of pine. Pine trees are straight, with green needles leaves. In this pine forest, pine is planted as vast as artificial forests stretching from Na Khe commune to Yen Minh town. Pine trees are vertical despite the wind and rain, and they still grow and develop into protective forests for the people here.
