It is a motorbike adventure in the north of Vietnam in Ha Giang province. Most people describe it as the <strong>best experience not only in Vietnam<\/strong>, but in all of Southeast Asia. Although we&#8217;ve heard and read a lot about it, there&#8217;s nothing like personal experience! And so we went for it. Was it worth it?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_50cc7d67\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Definitely yes! To be honest, this adventure literally changed our lives. It&#8217;s been a few days since it ended and we still can&#8217;t find the words for the beauty we were able to see thanks to it.<\/p>\n<p>Just imagine. You&#8217;re sitting on a motorbike, headphones in your ears, listening to your favourite song. All around you can see majestic mountains, picturesque villages or beautiful valleys. Adrenaline flows through your veins from riding a motorbike, you feel every single movement of the wind, which gives you an absolute feeling of freedom. Tears come to your eyes as you are grateful to be there and see the beauty of nature with your own eyes. So let&#8217;s talk more about that.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>Where to book a Ha Giang Loop tour<\/h2>\n<p>The tour usually starts in the provincial capital of Ha Giang. In this city you will find many companies offering different types of tours. You can usually choose between <strong>2, 3 or 4 day tours<\/strong>. The offer of these companies differs minimally. These are usually differences in accommodation and eating places. The programme tends to be almost identical.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-image us_custom_54e7f678 align_none meta_simple\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ha-Giang-Vision-tour-819x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Zaciatok Ha Giang Loop tour\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ha-Giang-Vision-tour-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ha-Giang-Vision-tour-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ha-Giang-Vision-tour.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"w-image-meta\"><div class=\"w-image-title\">Initial preparations for Ha Giang Loop.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>We did the tour through <a href=\"https:\/\/hagiangvision.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ha Giang Vision<\/a> and we fully recommend it. Everything was very well organized, the drivers behaved responsibly, and we rate the accommodation and food as 1*. We took the three-day tour and we think it&#8217;s the best choice. Two days may be too little, and you will miss the opportunity to visit beautiful places. However, four days can be too much, as the whole program can physically exhaust you.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_d2199d32\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>How to choose a company for Ha Giang Loop<\/h2>\n<p>Book your tour at least a few days in advance. Since they start every day, there is no big problem with capacity. One of the reasons we chose Ha Giang Vision Tour is because their groups are usually <strong>5-10 people<\/strong>, which is absolutely ideal.<\/p>\n<p>In Ha Giang you will also find more well-known companies with more than 20 people + drivers starting every single day. On the one hand, it can be great for those who are travelling alone and want to meet lots of new people. On the other hand, be prepared for the fact that everywhere you go will be crowded and you won&#8217;t enjoy the views to the fullest. Our group consisted of 7 people + 6 easy drivers, which was the ideal number and we enjoyed everything to the maximum.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-image us_custom_54e7f678 align_none meta_simple\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ha-Giang-Loop-tour-vyhlady-819x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Zastavka na vyhliadke pocas Ha Giang Loop tour.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ha-Giang-Loop-tour-vyhlady-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ha-Giang-Loop-tour-vyhlady-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ha-Giang-Loop-tour-vyhlady.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"w-image-meta\"><div class=\"w-image-title\">Beautiful views at every turn.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_50cc7d67\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>Ha Giang Loop with or without an easy driver?<\/h2>\n<p>There are two ways to do the Ha Giang Loop Tour. Either you go on a motorbike alone or with a professional driver. However, you must bear in mind that you need an <strong>international motorcycle licence<\/strong> to do this tour without a driver <strong>.<\/strong> We saw several police patrols along the route where they were checking just tourists riding on their own. You can be fined or sent home for driving without a licence.<\/p>\n<p>Since neither of us had that kind of license, we both took it with a driver and don&#8217;t regret it at all. We were able to fully enjoy all that Ha Giang Loop has to offer!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-image us_custom_54e7f678 align_none meta_simple\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ha-Giang-Loop-dangerous-roads-819x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Jazda na motorke po serpentinach severneho Vietnamu.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ha-Giang-Loop-dangerous-roads-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ha-Giang-Loop-dangerous-roads-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ha-Giang-Loop-dangerous-roads.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"w-image-meta\"><div class=\"w-image-title\">This is also what the roads looked like.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>Ha Giang Loop tour price<\/h2>\n<p>For a three-day trip without a driver you will pay about 100\u20ac, with a driver it is 140\u20ac. The price includes accommodation for 3 nights (including the one on which you arrive by night bus), meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner), raincoats and water. The only things you have to pay extra for are some drinks, extra food, or some souvenirs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-image us_custom_54e7f678 align_none meta_simple\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ha-Giang-Loop-vyhliadka-819x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Drink s vyhladom pocas Ha Giang Loop\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ha-Giang-Loop-vyhliadka-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ha-Giang-Loop-vyhliadka-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ha-Giang-Loop-vyhliadka.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"w-image-meta\"><div class=\"w-image-title\">Drink with a view.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Therefore we recommend that you take cash with you, as most places do not allow you to pay by card. Accommodation is usually in hostels or in home stays, so don&#8217;t expect any five-star hotels. If you don&#8217;t want to share a room and bathroom with others you can pay a few extra euros for privacy. We paid an extra 10\u20ac per night and had the place all to ourselves.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_d2199d32\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>How to get to Ha Giang<\/h2>\n<p>The most popular way to get to Ha Giang is by night bus directly from Hanoi. You can read more about <strong>sleeper buses in Vietnam<\/strong> in <a href=\"http:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/10-veci-ktore-potrebujes-vediet-pred-cestou-spacim-autobusom-vo-vietname\/\" rel=\"noopener\">our article<\/a>. Of course, you can also travel from other parts of Vietnam such as: Ninh Binh, Sapa or Halong Bay. These buses usually depart in the evening and arrive at their destination in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n<p>However, the companies offering the tours are prepared for this and will arrange for you to stay directly in their hostel, where you can check in, get some sleep and be ready to start your tour in the morning. These hostels usually also have restaurants where you can enjoy a tasty breakfast and coffee in the morning to give you plenty of energy for the adventure ahead.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-image us_custom_54e7f678 align_none meta_simple\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Spiaci-autobus-vo-vietname-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Interier spiaceho autobusu vo Vietname.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Spiaci-autobus-vo-vietname-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Spiaci-autobus-vo-vietname-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Spiaci-autobus-vo-vietname.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"w-image-meta\"><div class=\"w-image-title\">Sleeping bus in Vietnam.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>What to pack for Ha Giang Loop<\/h2>\n<p>If you arrive in Ha Giang with a lot of luggage, you will be given the option to leave it at the hostel and go on the tour with only what you need. You really don&#8217;t need to bring everything with you because you won&#8217;t need it. It will unnecessarily detract from your comfort while travelling. We therefore recommend packing only the essentials.<\/p>\n<p>What you should definitely not forget is a <strong>warm (preferably waterproof) jacket, sunscreen, sunglasses, headphones, cash<\/strong> (in case of buying coffee, beer or other drinks) and some audio-visual equipment since there will be something to camera! \ud83d\ude00 Included in our trip were <strong>raincoats and shoe covers<\/strong>, which really came in handy on the third day as it rained most of the time.

All day long you will experience breathtaking views and beautiful moments that you won&#8217;t easily forget.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of times we get asked if it was too uncomfortable. Since the program is set up so that you really have a lot of stops during the day, you don&#8217;t have to worry about not being able to make it. Obviously, for a person who is not used to travelling every day on a motorbike it can be a bit unnatural and challenging, but we guarantee that all the things that will be happening around you will suppress all your uncomfortable thoughts and feelings about travelling.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-image us_custom_54e7f678 align_none meta_simple\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ha-Giang-Loop-insta-spot-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Instagramovy spot na fotenie pocas HA Giang Loop Tour\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ha-Giang-Loop-insta-spot-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ha-Giang-Loop-insta-spot-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/2troubletravelers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ha-Giang-Loop-insta-spot.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"w-image-meta\"><div class=\"w-image-title\">One of the many insta spots during our trip.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>Meals<\/h3>\n<p>During the day, you will stop for a delicious lunch, which will be served in a very familiar way.

The reality of North Vietnam is really harsh, there is poverty and people live a simple life. It literally sent shivers down our spines.
