HA GIANG LOOP 04DAYS 03NIGHTS MOTORBIKE

Highlights

On this tour we explore one of the most fascinnating motorcycle loop sone can imagine-the Northern Ha Giang Loop. there is nothing ‘standard’ when venturing out on thesr roads and there is no ‘standard’ wayhow to put the roads together or what sights to explore mor in depth. It all comes down to what one wish to put priority on, interest, seasons, and driving skills. On this tour there is the possibility to include some shorter 1/2 trekking if that is of interest. For those interested in photography this tour progresses at a space where there is more time for these opportunities both during the day of driving and with time when arriving for the afternoon final stop. The tour wil make sure to cover the common highlights of the loop such as Heaven’s Gate, the Fairy Hills. Dong Van, the Ma Pi Leng mountain pass and the backroads of the spectacular inner Ha Giang mountains.
