If you're visiting this page wondering whether or not you should give motorbiking through the Ha Giang Loop during your trip to Vietnam a go - the answer is a resounding YES from me. Motorbiking through the Ha Giang Loop , a popular route in the Northern Vietnam province of Ha Giang, will likely be one of your most memorable experiences in Vietnam.
So, need more convincing - and some knowledge - before heading along the Ha Giang Loop? Keep on reading for helpful tips on how to do the Ha Giang Loop, including how to get to Ha Giang, how to rent a motorbike, and where to stop and stay along your way!
To be honest, I can't imagine doing the loop in anything less than 4 days. If you dare to navigate a motorbike through steep, winding cliffs and rocky roads, you will be greatly rewarded with some of the most breathtaking, mountain views in Vietnam and all of Southeast Asia, including the awe-inspiring Ma Pi Leng Pass. The Ha Giang Province is occupied primarily by ethnic minority groups , giving travelers the opportunity to witness the everyday working lives of diverse northern Vietnamese people as they go about their daily lives, often in ethnic garb as you pass through their villages.
You will see women in colorful garments carrying bundles of sticks in baskets, children playing and yes, sometimes working the streets and men hard at work building new structures.
As a westerner, it is incredibly humbling to see how hard these people work every single day as a community. After a long day of riding, at each stop you will find cozy homestays and hostels to rest your head at night , and often have the opportunity to enjoy an authentic and always quite generous family-style meal.
